Anvil Bar & Refuge

Bobby Heugel’s Anvil debuted in 2009 with an ambitious 100List, a roster of classic drinks ranging from daiquiris and caipirinhas to Manhattans and juleps. The ever-evolving menu also boasts original tipples made with an array of high-quality spirits, herbal infusions and house-made tinctures, which would be intimidating to the average drinker if they weren’t at the hands of Anvil’s talented barkeeps. True to the “Refuge” half of its name, the Montrose drinkery has a warm, industrial-chic vibe—there are cozy leather couches and a long, inviting bar manned by a very knowledgeable staff.
