6Do you serve chips?
We serve pommes frites with our own homemade mayonnaise.
7Do we really have to give our shoe at the bar for one of your beers?
You do when you order a Kwak - originally designed by an innkeeper who wanted a way of ensuring he sold as much beer as possible. The unique design of the glass enabled coach drivers to take a beer for the road, literally. The glass would hang from a bracket allowing the beer to remain upright even on rough terrain. Kwak is very popular in bars as the glass always attracts attention. However, be warned when ordering Kwak as there is a chance the bar will want a deposit for the glass (or in some cases a shoe to stop you running away with it) as you're not the only person who likes the glass
8How long has Den Anker been in Cape Town?
We opened our doors in 1994 and have been serving Capetonians fabulous beer and Belgian Specialities ever since
