I spent most of my time at the urinal catching up with someone I had never met. The main stage was doing something along the lines of karaoke, but it seemed to be the same person performing the entire time.

More of a alternative lifestyle bar take a long time to get drinks or service felt kind of unwelcome. Maybe it just wasn't my type of bar.

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.

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

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.

Anvil is my favorite stomping ground. A very fun and welcoming crowd, stellar bartenders, and fun theme nights make this place a must-see. Monday Funday, see you there.

This was the final stop of my Arizona trip, and I am glad it was. It was chill and slow pace when I came around 5:30 pm New Year's Day. There were some...

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.
