Today was media day at AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants play. It’s not the kind of event I’m normally invited to, but this year is a little different. Debuting this season at the Giants’ stadium is Anchor Plaza, a new area behind the giant scoreboard where fans can find beer from Anchor Brewing, among other related goodies.
An Anchor beer stand sits in the center of Anchor Plaza.
Which is known as Anchor Taproom.
There’s plenty of seating in Anchor Plaza.
And the entire Anchor Plaza is also ringed with related food and beverage vendors.

Which is located out of sight, behind the scoreboard. It looks like it could be a great place to get away from the crowds for a spell, and enjoy an Anchor Steam Beer. There are large screen televisions back there so you won’t miss the game while you sip your beer.
The new owners are spending some serious moola for that! Too bad a pint costs at least $9 (last year’s price for craft brew on tap).
Good to see the Anchor name finally have a place at PacBell. A question, though. That area has been used for special events and private functions in the past. Do you know if this is still the case? Or will it be open to the public all the time?
Rory, they didn’t say though I got the impression it would be open to the public at least most of the time, perhaps keeping the door open for some private events. J
