Granville Anvil

The best Chicago gay bars are far away from Boystown. This is one of the best. Friendly, diverse crowd of regulars. Bartenders are friendly. It's a good place to have an intimate tete a tete with a dear friend or a casual chat with a stranger. Well decorated for Halloween .

Great lil hole in the wall for a “night cap” after a fun night with your friends. Can get crowded, but with nice weather they have a really cute back patio.

Stopped in on a Monday night. Some of the strongest drinks I’ve had in a while. If you’re into that, this could be the place for you! They’ve got a great back patio area and had great prices too. It was fun to watch Monsters Inc while enjoying being on the back patio. Another patron stopped and complimented me on my jacket, which was nice. It seemed like everyone was really nice making for a fun atmosphere.

Great little dive bar. It's cash only, but that being said, great relaxed atmosphere. It's easy to sit and mind your business, or engage in good conversations. The bartenders are friendly and fun to talk too, as well as the rest of the patrons.

A great little gay dive bar. Good prices on drinks and great bartenders. My only complaint is the music. I feel like on Saturday nights someone hijacks the jukebox, and we are stuck listening to the same music over and over again. Also one suggestion, you have all these televisions. Play something fun on there other than the news or sports.

Great gay bar. No frills, great service, nice patio.

As a small woman I never felt welcome here. First time I came her some guy but me on my neck and went and bit some one else. Had a great bonding experience not at this bar over that. Second time I was here there was so much drama and I was carrying the fem. Third time they refuse to serve me. It's two pm on my day off. I'm industry. Honey you are a cash bar and good luck.

Stopped in to check out this bar. The bartender Paul was so rude and nasty. Such a disappointment. Andersonville it is.
