On the main street leading to the port, the British opened a bar back in 1942. It was not the first or the last bar in the port city, but today the Ogen (Anchor) bar is the oldest operating bar in the country. He took over this title from the Jerusalem bar Pink, which opened ten years earlier in 1932, but closed in 2005. The new life was given to the bar by Yosef Pinkus, whom everyone calls Yoska. His father Zelig also had a small bar in pre-war Poland. Yosef survived the Holocaust and was a cook on ships that brought the first immigrants into the country, who were not allowed by the British. Later, Yosef joined the Tsim merchant fleet and worked as a cook for many years. In 1962, after the admonitions of his wife, Yoska went ashore and bought the Anchor bar. The glory was brought to the bar by the epic of the sixth American fleet, which saw Haifa as its anchorage on the Mediterranean Sea, and the sailors saw the Ogen bar as its anchorage. They say that a thousand sandwiches were prepared here a day. Yoska was helped by his son Gil, who cooks an incomparable roast beef. There is also a real jamon, homemade pickles, sausage and cheese cuts, herring and the highlight of the program - Guinness beer. Don't even ask the other. Guinness period.
