Anvil Bar & Refuge
|
Whatever you do, don't walk in here and order an appletini. This place, run by a consortium of passionate cocktail nerds, is not about the sugary drink of the moment, but about celebrating the classics that have stood the test of time. Every day the chalkboard names and explains the handful of daily creations—from Pimm's Cups and Old-Fashioneds to Sazeracs and Pisco Sours, served in exquisite glasses you won't find anywhere else in town. Like a perfect souffle, these epicurean cocktails are labor intensive, so relax and let your bartender take his time. For those still not in the mood for hard liquor, not matter how well-poured, Anvil also offers a great selection of small-production beers on tap.
Anvil is at its best when the bar is only half full—we like to come on weekdays rather than fight the crowds on Saturday night.
