"The patron saint of Houston’s cocktail bar scene, Bobby Heugel’s Anvil delivers expertly crafted cocktails in one of Houston’s hippest neighborhoods. The Montrose stalwart has some of the city’s most talented mixologists manning the bar and is perfect for a first date or a friendly hang earlier in the night. Try something from the ever-changing list of eight originals, or stick with a classic, like the French 75. If you’ve been there and drank that, try Heugel’s slightly more upscale and quieter sister concept, Refuge, located right upstairs." - Brittany Britto Garley
