    Historic Wings Casual Live music Italian
    Established in 1935, Anchor Bar is the birthplace of the Buffalo chicken wing. In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo deep-fried leftover chicken wings, tossed them in hot sauce, and served them with celery and blue cheese—a creation that became an instant sensation. The bar's walls are adorned with over 500 license plates from around the world, reflecting its global fame. While the medium wings closely follow Teressa's original recipe, the menu also features Italian fare, draft beers, and live jazz on certain nights.
