Anchor Oyster Bar

Castro District

A Castro institution since 1977, this cozy, no-frills spot serves San Francisco's most iconic cioppino: a rich, garlicky tomato broth brimming with Dungeness crab, mussels, and clams. Pull up a stool for expertly shucked oysters and that famous garlic bread, or watch the neighborhood stroll by from the parklet.
