History

     The Captain's Anchorage is a landmark in Big Bear, adding special flavor to the local history and to every dish served. When built in 1946, the restaurant was known as Sportsman's Tavern. In the ensuing fifty years, the establishment has weathered fires, gambling and an innocuous ghost.

   Many stories are told of the ghost's antics. Most employees are not rattled by his rattling of pots and pans, nor his propensity for loudly tromping upstairs, but his habit of hiding silverware, glasses, and other common items is aggravating at times!

   Our ghost's name is George. The most mysterious aspect about George is the fact that no one actually knows how he died. George is said to have committed suicide, but local lore notes that he was suspected of having embezzled quite a pocketful of cash before his mysterious death. George was an accountant for the Sportsman's Tavern when it was owned by Andy Devine, famous for his role as "Jingles" in the "Wild Bill Hickock" television series.
