Last inspected: Dec 15, 2025

Score

Low Risk

Across the available record, Anchor Bar has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 15, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “no probe thermometer provided to measure temperature”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to the broader Hollywood restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
