Our first time visiting this local bar. Stopped by The Anchor Bar in Leesburg and had a great experience! Our server was absolutely fantastic--friendly, attentive, and quick with refills. The wings came out hot and crispy, with a generous portion that's perfect for sharing (or not!). Add in the excellent happy hour prices, and it's easily one of the best casual spots in town for wings and drinks. Highly recommend!

TLDR: Good food, quick service, go sports! Every time we drove past this place, we always said "Oh, we should go there for lunch!" and then never went. So finally, we did it. Only took us over a year. But after that experience, we weren't impressed unfortunately. I'm not sure what I expected. It was dead inside. Only 1 or 2 (of ~20) tables in the dining room were taken when we got there & a few people at the bar. We went during dinner hours, so I thought that was odd. Maybe this place fills up during big sports events? Or maybe they have more things going on in the summer? During the summer, I know we used to see a Drink Specials board outside and a bunch of full outdoor tables. I'd like to come back here during the summer to eat outside since inside wasn't the best experience. Food (4/5): We got the Pretzel Bites ($9.99), Chicken Caesar Wrap ($12.99), and the Steak Philly Sandwich ($15.50). All were delicious! The same queso from the Pretzel Bites is on the Steak Philly Sandwich, so if you're not looking for the same flavors smothering your app & entree, don't pair them together. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was perfect: not dry & not full of lettuce. I loved it and would get it again. Their fries are also great. The Pretzel Bites were ok. They're your normal frozen pretzels with a large DENSE side of queso. The Steak Philly Sandwich was great but.... this is on us: we didn't know it came with mushrooms... we don't like mushrooms. Yes, the menu says it comes with mushrooms. No, we did not fully read what was in it. That's 100% on us. So the food rating is not based on that. The sandwich was great regardless. Ambiance (1/5): We unfortunately went when a group of people brought a 2 & 3 year old. The staff & group's adults allowed the kid to use the booth as a trampoline, scream, and bang utensils on the plate for our entire stay there. We tried to distract ourselves by watching baseball on one of the 1000 big screens they had. The flags above the dining room were cool. Service (5/5): Our server was quick and gave us space. I'm sure they were there for a while, or just listening to the children screaming in the corner was driving them insane since they seemed like they were so done.

I was amped to head out to the Anchor Bar location in Leesburg to see if the wings tasted as good as I remembered. I ordered 10 medium buffalo and 10 honey bourbon bbq wings with a side of blue cheese. My tastebuds immediately remembered why these OG wings are constantly voted as the best in every city that they touch down in. The pizza logs are also a must that you have to order. I believe that this might be the best way to consume one of my favorite meals. I love that fact it only requires one hand to achieve the perfect dipping method to get a generous marinara sauce to pizza ratio.

So this is a mixed bag review. First, the wings- it is like going to Disney's Epcot France Pavilion for years and then the actual country. The wings tasted just like Buffalo Wild Wings---and while I'm Sure they copied, it still tasted the same, I also got a "beef on wreck" which was stunning, Salty, beefy with fennel bread and dipping sauce....so good,

First time eating at Anchor Bar - second time visiting (first time was a special event)... Ordered the crispy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, coated in Buffalo sauce, Comes with lettuce, tomato, and onion, plus a side of tater tots and a pint of a local IPA from Old Ox Brewery. My friend ordered a pizza - which he enjoyed. Our server was awesome - food came out fairly quickly. Sammich and tots were good. I requested a side of the Buffalo sauce to dip my tots in - they brought that out quickly. Service was good. The menu on the table has a bar code on it - if one scans it with your phone camera - it will bring up a list of the current local craft beers they carry. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday evening. I will be back! #AnchorBar

As part of a famous buffalo wings place, I expected nothing less than what this brought. A solid sports bar, many options for wings flavors, and a loud crowd. I think the flavors of the buffalo wings are spot on, but nothing so special that you have to go out of your way to find this. If anything, I think that the other flavors pale slightly so other than the buffalo wings, I wouldn't recommend anything. Other than that, the ambiance is great with tons of TVs. I would come back for solo dining and/or to enjoy their famous buffalo wings.

My wife and I had dinner there on 9/5/2024. She had a cheeseburger and fries. She ordered the burger well done. Surprisingly, it was cooked perfectly. It was still juicy. Alot of restaurants overcook a burger if it's ordered well done. Burger was very tasty. Fries were average. I ordered the Beef on Weck with tots, instead of Fries. The roast beef itself was average, most of the meat was over cooked. It should be medium rare and paper thin. The meat was about an 1/8" thick. I wish it was thinner. The bun was fresh, nice and salty. The bun makes up for bland meat. I was also given some au jus. The sandwich dipped in the au jus was a good bite. The tater tots were nice and crispy. Service was pretty good. A decent meal. We will probably try it again.

As a Central Nee York native, I was so excited to see this here in Virginia. I was quite let down however. The pizza was awful- how much sugar is in the sauce? The wings would have been great but they were so dry. The wings dip was really the only acceptable thing that we tried. I was very disappointed.

Travel Channel once did a special on sports bar food with Anchor Bar being featured as the originator of the Buffalo wing as I recall. Originating in Buffalo, NY, it's now expanded outside that area and made it's way into Leesburg. Of course I had to check it out for myself as someone who loves sports, wings, and has had genuine pleasant interactions with Bills mafia when encountered. I've only sat at the bar area; there's plenty of televisions available for watching games there and beer selection has several local brews including Lost Rhino, Old Dominion, Old Ox, and Flying Dog. As for food, they've got typical bar eats including wings (obviously), pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. Buffalo eats such as the Beef on Weck is also available as well. I've done the wings everytime I'm here. They aren't the best I've had as the batches I've had are a bit overfried and tough but it's drenched in sauce which I like and some are tender in the batch. I expect them to figure out their niche and improve on the flavor as they get themselves established. The bartenders are generally nice and attentive. I did notice my first time there, I asked if they could split wing flavors but they said they only do that when it's not busy. Not sure how that makes sense since it's just tossing them in another sauce but I didn't argue. Maybe short-staffed? And it was on a Sunday? Eh, who knows. I'm glad Leesburg has another sports bar in the area especially in this shopping center. We'll see how they progress and if they are a mainstay here.

Went to Anchor Bar to catch a game, and I have to say, it's the perfect spot! Tons of TVs everywhere, so you won't miss a single play, and the atmosphere is just right - lively but still comfortable. The food was way better than I expected for a sports bar. The pizza logs are a must-try! They're loaded with cheese and super crispy. Honestly, it's hard not to order a second round. And the buffalo flavor on the pizza and wings was spot-on, not too spicy but still full of that classic kick. One of the highlights was definitely the Roast Beef on Weck. The beef was super tender and juicy. And if you're a mac & cheese fan, do yourself a favor and get the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. It was so creamy and full of flavor that it quickly became one of my favorites. The service was top-notch, too. Our server was on it the whole time, and the manager even stopped by to chat, he was hilarious and made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about their guests here. We went on a Tuesday night which was music bingo night, it was really fun and luckily we won 2 times!!! If you're looking for a fun spot to grab good food and watch a game, I can't recommend Anchor Bar enough!

They are a fairly new sports bar where Eggspectation used to be. I came in on a Friday night around 5PM. They weren't too busy, but it didn't take long til they had a pretty full house. I sat at the bar, and the service was pretty good with just a few hiccups: my order was taken fairly quickly, didn't have very long to wait for my appetizer (from the happy hour menu) and my drink was refilled fairly quickly. The only couple hiccups was I waited quite a bit for my burger and they gave me regular fries even though I asked for sweet potato fries. They were quick to grab me an order of sweet potato fries, though, no problem! I got to have 2 types of fries! Overall, pretty solid service. I had the onion rings, regular fries, sweet potato fries and a mushroom Swiss burger. Great onion rings and both types of fries were good! the mushroom Swiss burger was good; it would've just been better had they included caramelized onions on top as well. All in all, pretty happy and full. Pretty lively sports bar and definitely a pretty good place to hang out and watch games. They have tables outside, too, if inside is a little too much for you. On good weather days, they open the dining area to the patio. Solid choice for a chill hang out.

The recently opened sports Bar and Wing place, I went there in the first week. Loved the service, great staff. The place is perfect to watch games, tons of TVs, have a wonderful beer selection. The food was just ok, they should get better after a few months.
