Anvil

Gil is a steller bartender. The vibe is 100% right for who they are. Had a great evening (on a Monday!), look forward to checking them on some of their events nights. Only caveat- drinks seemed kinda off. Straight shot of jack didn't taste like jack- maybe it was me but I switched to beer after my Jack and coke. Other person with me did a Gentleman Jack and it was right.

Wasn't busy when I went as it was a scorching hot weeknight in Phoenix. But I appreciated the cheap drinks and friendly crowd. Met and chatted with some cool people. Also cool that they allow guys to "play" in certain areas, like old school gay bars.

I thought this place was accepting of everybody turns out they hate women. My friend group of 4 women came in for Karaoke night. When we walked in we were the ONLY women in the bar. We’ve been to Anvil before for Karaoke and have always had a great time. This last time we went we were discriminated against due to being women. Apparently cheering on other fellow karaoke goers is against the rules and you will be scolded. We were yelled at by the bar tender stating we were too loud and “everybody” was complaining. When we went to the bar tender to rectify the situation as we had no malice intended, we were scolded even more. This came to a surprise to us as we had had so many other Anvil goers come up to us and advise they appreciated our support. We will NEVER be coming back to Anvil as clearly it is a sexist misogynistic cult.

Phoenix ONLY leather bar. It is great and has a great clientele. Let's rephrase that to hot clientele. Don't forget your jockstrap and harness

It's a great bar. To go out with your friends and play around.

The bartenders really make this place awesome. They change up the music to suit the crowd. I appreciate their contribution to the community by holding various events. They recently shortened the stage area to make more standing space - it looks great.

As a straight female, I love coming here and they welcomed me with open arms. My friend and I, have soo much fun we've met a lot of folks here that's so nice and warm.

a spectacular place, one of the best here in Phoenix Arizona, except that last Sunday, January 7, 2024, I went at night with a friend to have some beers, the bartenders who are there daily who offer magnificent service were not there, there was a man Fat man who used to work at the Newton bar and just because my friend didn't order the beer in English, he discriminated against him with a racist gesture and he didn't sell him the beer, something that happens for the first time. I hope it doesn't happen again because everyone there pays and tips well. It is for us gays that there should not be those inconveniences, thank you and I hope you take action on the matter, happy start to the week.
