"I came for a Dina Martina show. She was excellent. I had a great time. The theater itself was very basic. The bartender was nice. The bar was also very basic. Seats were slightly uncomfortable. I would return for the right show."
"We just stayed at the C&A for eight nights to experience Carnival Week 2023. Third time staying here for Carnival. AMAZING experience. The new ownership just gets it. They’ve done a lot of upgrades and improvements. The new guest lounge area with the balcony overlooking Commercial is a great addition. Anything we needed, the staff was very accommodating. The new restaurant menu is VERY good. Really fun parties at night and a great pool during the day. Will definitely be back! Thank you C&A for the BEST Carnival Week yet! ❤️❤️"
"One of my favorite places in town. The place speaks for itself, you just have to check it out to see for yourself. They have nightclubs, a restaurant, many bars, and a hotel. I enjoy the nightclub quite a bit. What a wonderful place for free expression and a fun time. Especially fun during 4th of July or carnival week :)"
"Cannot describe how amazing their pool parties are. We enjoyed events at this location back to back 2 days. Nice place to hang with friend and enjoy their nice cocktails with reasonable pricing. Their night time shows are also amazing. We attended a show with our nephew and he loved it. People work there are very friendly, helpful and sassy lol. Overall convenient location, good pool and good bay view with great cocktails."
"Words cannot describe how wonderful a place this is! Jonathan and Paolo have been such great owners of the crown and anchor and it shows not only in their establishment but also in their staff. I always feel welcomed by the staff at the crown and anchor each time I visit. Never had any issues and always enjoyed my time seeing the piano bar and ticketed shows. And the food is very delicious! Keep up the great work Jonathan and Paolo! Myself as well as the Ptown community are so very grateful for you both."
