About me
As a born and raised Austinite, John Henson has seen the landscape of the dining and entertainment scene grow up around him. A 17 year veteran of restaurant management, he started years before within the inner workings of the industry, performing as a busser, host, runner, expo, server, bartender, trainer, you name it, he's done it! As a general manager he has overseen the micro and the macro of the industry, learning from distinguished owners, the management before him, his peers alongside him, and most importantly the staff that he supports everyday. For the past 5 plus years, he has had the privilege to call Crown & Anchor Pub in Austin his home. Serving the Austin and University of Texas neighborhoods for nearly 2 decades, he thrives on providing a sense of community of happiness through food and drink. Some unorthodox methods are embraced and executed by John, creating an exciting and ever changing feel to his establishment that has "stayed the same" since 1987. "This is a progressive industry. Sometimes you have to do some dusting, but don't dust too hard, it helps to keep the walls up!" GO LOCAL! GO CROWN!
