* Air Mail – rhum, lime, honey, champagne While I’ve never been to Anvil (or even Houston, for that matter), here’s my current status on their list. The list is headed with “We at Anvil would be remiss in our duties if we did not mention that there are certain libations we feel you should try at least once in your life… for better or worse”. Fun idea, and I’m sure it’s great for business. Paper copies are available in the bar, as are stamp cards so patrons can keep track of their progress. We went elsewhere.Anvil, a bar in Houston, Texas that prides itself on its well made cocktails, has compiled a list of 100 cocktails that they believe everyone should try at least once. No seats, shout to be heard, wait staff that was clearly not interested in new customers lent this place a snobbish feel which was too much at the end of a busy week. Since we are no longer in the college age crowd, this place just seemed like too much work. That and the noise made us turn around and leave. What disturbed me most is the place smelled like a frat house after a boozy Friday night.

No wait staff (or bartenders or whatever) approached, offered suggestions or in fact, even acknowledged that customers walked in the door.

The tables were all full so we sort of stood there for a few minutes. So loud, that once inside, I couldn't hear my husband until he shouted at me. We arrived on a Friday a little before 5 and the place was packed (after fighting to find a parking space). After reading the online menu, I was eager to jump in and try some things I had never had before. A friend recommended this place for good, out of the ordinary drinks.
