Reviews for Anvil in Houston, TX
I am so impressed with this place! I went last night for the first time with my gf and we absolutely loved it. The bartenders... all pretty much greet every single person that walks through the door. The service was super fast while the entire place waspacked. The cocktails were super delicious! I?ve lived in this neighborhood for 8 years and never had a chance to visit thisspot. To be honest I think I found the new hangout for me and my friends. I highly recommend this place to everyone, you willnot be disappointed! Read more
A comfortable place for some quality cocktail drinks. Drew is extremely knowledgeable with drinks and his friendly personality... adds a memorable experience as you enjoy your drink. A must visit if you are visiting Houston. Read more
I came here the first time more than 10 years ago after the New York Times listed the bar as one of the top 20 in the States and... have been a regular since. It's still my favorite bar in town. However, they haven't made any memorable cocktails lately. Theyused to have the first name basis or dark throne that really stood out and made me love this bar a lot. Nowadays the cocktailsare still ok but very typical and have lots of similarities. The menu is rather boring. I can go there and have a drink or twoand that's it. In the past, I could enjoy the whole night and just keep going from one to another. I hope they bring thecreativity and diversity back. Read more
i finally gave this place a try and it just was so cool! i love how the bar area was setup, so neat. the bartender, i didn't get... his name, but see the photo below.. he really knew his stuff, had a personality, and just overall FUN. we walked in on athursday night and he greeted with a full smile and we got lucky to snag a spot right at the bar even tho it was super crowded.although i cannot comment on alcoholic drinks, i enjoyed the topo chico with lime. even tho the place was crowded, i reallyenjoyed my time there. i think his energy was so happy, it made us happy. also i loved how clean and spacious the restroom was.i def can see myself going back to this spot. i do highly recommend and they also have a full menu with food.

Love all the different hand-shaken cocktails. Tried the blue steel and the double take. Place had very large booths that fit 4... but most were occupied with just 2 so you'll end up standing at the railing waiting for seats at bar or booth. The chacuterieboard is tasty but waaaaay overpriced. Same with the razor clams. $20 for 4 clams and 6 saltines. Yikes. Def will go back butonly for the drinks. Read more
Amazing bar with really great atmosphere and quality drinks made by really nice bartenders! We went through a few items on the... menu but the one that stood out to us the most was one made with tumeric. My husband didn't care or it but I thought it tastedlike a boozy tumeric latte. Worth a shot if you're feeling adventurous! Read more
Good spot for a few cocktails!! The vibe is very industrial chic and they have alllll types of liquors. They even have non... alcoholic options, making it a cool hangout spot for date night, guys night or girls night, grabbing a couple drinks beforedinner, after dinner etc. They do have a few food options and we tried a couple sandwiches. Really fresh, flavorful and a greatportion size! Now on to the drinks. They were so well crafted that one wouldn't do justice!! We had the opportunity to try a fewcocktails like Pimm's Cup, El Diablo, a few rum drinks and the Champagne cocktail and our palate and minds were blown. Theprices are great and the service even better. The only thing is that they have limited seating options so please do keep thatmind!! Read more
classy bar with dim lighting, industrial digs & quite fancy yet pricey cocktails. was pretty crowded on a friday night, sort of... hard to order a drink. table seating was mostly taken while most only had standing room due to the narrow passways. my?sunbather? cocktail had exquisite presentation of mint & melon. would return on a weekday when it?s not so packed!
