Anchor Bar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anchor Bar is a restaurant located at Main and North in downtown Buffalo, New York, USA where the Buffalo-style chicken wing was first served in 1964. The restaurant was initially established in 1935.
The Anchor Bar's main claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of Buffalo wings. Teressa Bellissimo is credited with the creation of the dish when she deep-fried some wings and covered them in a special sauce (wings were previously used for soup or simply thrown away before this use came about). They were initially offered for free. Frozen wings can now be ordered around the world from the Anchor Bar's web site. Anchor Bar sauces are sold in Canada at Dominion's and Sobey's stores.
Along with Buffalo wings, the Anchor Bar offers live entertainment on weekend nights.
The Anchor Bar is located near the Buffalo Metro Rail's Allen-Medical Campus stop.
