The Best Martinis in Houston | Eater Houston

"It might be old enough to drive this year, but Bobby Heugel’s bar Anvil remains a Houston hotspot renowned for its dedication to cocktail craftsmanship. The venue’s signature 100 List — a collection of classic cocktails every mixologist should master — is a testament to their commitment. Here, the traditional martini features a timeless blend of dry gin, dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters, with no vodka in sight. Many Anvil fans rejoiced when it was recently announced that the bar’s happy hour had returned, with half-off the 100 classic cocktails list from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. Wander upstairs to Refuge, Anvil’s sister bar, for a quieter scene and the same attention to detail." - Brianna Griff
