Welcome to The Sail & Anchor

Family owned since 1991, The Sail & Anchor has been a cornerstone of Timaru’s social scene for more than three decades. What began as a small, welcoming bar has grown into a local favorite where friends and families gather to share hearty meals, celebrate milestones, and enjoy good company.

Our kitchen serves up a mix of pub classics and fresh, seasonal dishes that highlight local ingredients, while our bar keeps the drinks flowing with a wide selection of tap beers, wines, and cocktails. Beyond the food and drink, we’re proud to be known for our lively atmosphere, weekly quiz nights every Wednesday, and regular live music that brings the community together.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quiet drink, joining friends for a night out, or visiting Timaru for the first time, The Sail & Anchor is a place where everyone feels at home. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
