“If I could give this place more stars, I would. Beautiful decor and just fabulous service. The staff so knowledgeable in regards to drinks and food that's on or off the menu. Be sure to get a reservation on the weekend if you have a party though.Parking: Very difficult to find parking. Come early if possible.“
“Ambiance: I went here with family on a week night. This is in the heart of downtown so expect down town parking, side streets. Service: there was two bartenders and we had a good night. Food: no food but we just had high ball japanese whiskey. This place is a vibe.“
“This is a very good bar especially when the weather is nice. It is open air style like an ice house. Full bar and nice craft beer choices.They offer bar games like darts, billiards, and shuffle board. In the nice outdoor space bocce and corn hole.Awesome staff.“
“Local hangout. Bar eats and cocktails. Small beer selection with some fun offerings mixed into the normal bar beer selection. Back patio is nice. Service was quick and to the point.Parking: Plenty of parking in the attached lot.Kid-friendliness: Not for the kiddos.“
“Still getting settled into their new expanded facilities but more importantly still producing those award winning whiskey. Just got my first cask strength Shire Rye, and it is so smooth and complex. Specs does a great job of getting their products out but you will want to get to know the family behind the success by stopping by. Tell them to put it on my tab.“
“We enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner at Eugene's. The food (stuffed redfish! amazing yams!) and service were outstanding; our server Joseph and the rest of the team took great care of us. The restaurant is attractive, and we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to shout at one another. Thank you for a special evening!“
“Hands down the food is delicious and interesting. We had good service, no one came around too often, just right. Definitely try the dilly bread! The tots were tasty, and my group really enjoyed the carrots, olives, Charlie and the pasta factory, nonno’s pasta, and quite a few cocktails! Music is fun, good volume, lights are slightly dim, allowing easy conversation without having to speak loudly. Definitely recommend! Oh, and even if you’re full, you should try the olive oil cake!!Vegetarian options: There are certainly enough options for a vegetarian like meParking: Either in the small lot or on the street in a decent neighborhood.“
“Anvil is, without a doubt, my favorite cocktail bar. And that's not just within Houston. The consistent quality of their cocktails is simply unrivaled. They have a rotating selection of featured cocktails, but half the time I order from their list of 100 classics because they craft them to near-perfection (sometimes perfection, if I'm being honest). Yesterday, I tried a new one containing shōchū, reposado tequila, and black sesame... my adjectives wouldn't do justice to the simple elegance and brilliance of that cocktail. They don't offer happy hour nor outdoor seating. There are probably ~15-20 seats at the bar and then 8-12 booths along the windows, each of which fits 4-5 people. The bartenders are always amazing, their knowledge of the craft is impressive. At the end of the day, Anvil isn't trying to rope you in with trendy fads nor great deals. But I suspect you'll be back for a return visit, because they're serving the highest-quality cocktails in town“
