Have you been to Anchor Bar in Buffalo where Buffalo chicken wings came from?

[rachel776]

we closed it down last night and they will not forget us i can say that. it was sad to see they make too much of a “brand” out of it instead of leaving it be as i always say, but still great people we met in Buffalo and now i know why everyone talks about the wings

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I would love to take a journey back in time to 1964 & visit the first location & enjoy some wings as well. As for me although I have been to Buffalo New York I have never been to the Anchor Bar. On the flip side I didn’t know it was chain & within the near future I’ll have to visit one of the locations.

You closed it down last night? Closed for good or health violations?

I wonder if the original is a historical site.

[rachel776]

closed it down, as in, sang and danced and ate and drank until they closed and had to throw us all out

[KostasKouvalis]

Not the original one, but I went to a branch of it at the airport. I don't think I had the wings though. The original didn't have good reviews online. People were saying the wings taste and feel like rubber, so even if I was in the vicinity, I probably wouldn't have tried. The one at the airport wasn't that great either, and the black employees were being rude to the Whites, but nice to the blacks.

But it's importance to American culture should still he honored. Wings are one of my favorite foods.

Did you work there?

[KittyKat90210]

Nope, haven't been there. I was in Buffalo a couple of times but didn't know that Anchor Bar was where wings started!

[nawtee_me]

I have never been to Buffalo so I would just have to wing it….. lol

[rachel776]

[OneViewpoint]

Nope, never been there. But, I salute the local bar that came up with a an idea that became part of US culture and a fixture at every Sunday football gathering.

[DonaldDarko]

I don't drink so I've mostly been to Casino bars to get some pineapple juice or something. Or a road side bar to get a soda pop late at night because everything else is closed.

[AviatorTom]

I've been to the Anchor Bar many times, though it's been many years since I was last there. I grew up in Western New York, though I moved south several years ago.

[AviatorTom]

If I remember correctly, Anchor Bar is not far from the NFTA ight rail Allen Street station.

[Finchie40]

No I never been there , but I been to Buffalo a few times mainly for concerts

[MikeTheBartender]

Went there in 2022, buffalo wings and beef on a weck!

[rachel776]

@MikeTheBartender that's Schwabl‘s they keep telling us to go there also

[molonski2]

I haven't been , but of course yeah I would love to have visited for sure , sounds great.

[loveslongnails]

I avoid going to Buffalo every chance I get. Been there once, and that was more than enough.

[abc3643]

That's too bad that you feel that way because, really, it is one of the best, friendliest places in America. Once you've spent a decent amount of time there, you understand why.

[loveslongnails]

@abc3643Friendly it may be, or not, but it's extremely snowy in winter and hot in summer. For 6 months out the year, the average high temperature doesn't crack 50 degrees F. And although housing is cheap, the crime rate is one of the worst in the nation - 51 people per 1,000 experience crime in Buffalo annually. I won't live in a place like that.

The hockey team sucks too, lol, but it does have one great thing going for it: It's close to Canada!

[rachel776]

@abc3643 and go to a Bills game with Bills fans holy moly

[loveslongnails]

I'll pass, thanks. That would mean I'd have to come to Buffalo. LOL Besides, I don't do pro sports live except baseball where I can get a reasonably priced ticket. Pro football prices are crazy. The cheapest Bills game for a decent opponent is $170 for row 36, so $340 for tickets, $30 for parking.
By the time you're done with food and drink, it's a $500 day easily. No thanks, I'll watch at home.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes!!! I have a few years ago. It was a thing you're like i have to go here lol. I enjoyed it.

[dreamstar72]

Never been there, but buffalo, NY is about 40 miles from where I use to live.

[Wiredone]

I've never been there but the food looks delicious and the prices aren't bad. Might have to take a ride and give them a try

[SotiCoto]

... "In Buffalo"? I thought a buffalo was a cow thing. Is it also a place?

[In_Trance]

I've never been but it looks like a great place to go

[purplepoppy]

No but it looks an interesting bar.

[Fireguy17]

Nope, plus I do not like wings.

[Alex-Snow]

No but I'd like to go

[Jennz6]

I was never there

[Panthero80]

I have never even been to New York.

[zombiewoof]

[Anonymous]

[katiesmuff]

[eagle1951]
