The Anchor Bar is a restaurant located at 1047 Main at North St. a few blocks north of downtown Buffalo, New York, USA where the Buffalo 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 chicken wings, known outside the Buffalo area as Buffalo wings. Teressa Bellissimo is credited with the creation of the dish when she deep-fried some wings and covered them in a vinegar-based chili and tomato sauce (wings were previously used for soup or simply thrown away before this use came about). She served them with blue cheese dip as hors d'oeuvres at the bar which was frequented by servicemen newly inducted at the nearby Armed Forces Entrance and Examination station. They were initially offered for free. Frozen wings can now be ordered around the country from the Anchor Bar's web site. Anchor Bar sauces are sold in Canada at Sobeys and Dominion 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 Summer-Best stop.
