About
Low lighting and a divey feel set the tone here. Anvil is a dark leather bar in Central Phoenix where cruising and karaoke share space with a pool table. The crowd leans toward men into the leather and fetish scene, but regulars note the bartenders keep things friendly.
Drinks are strong and the vibe stays casual. Easy parking makes it a convenient stop for a late afternoon beer or a rowdier evening. If you are new to town, the bar can be hard to spot from the street, so look for the unassuming frontage.
Located in Central Phoenix, this bar is easy to reach with ample parking nearby.

Was just passing through town, stopped for a beer. Decent spot for a first visit. I'm submissive and shy, but I felt okay there aside from some anxiety. People were friendly. Parking was easy.

One night there was incredibly fun with a total exhibitionist on the patio and an oral top feeder letting me do my thing behind the little play area. But later visits have been less enjoyable. I'm not sure when they have blackout parties like another bar does. I love those and wish more bars offered them, or that a bar kept that setup all the time. Swallowing loads here in town so come visit anytime. Don't bring your mother, easy parking, strong drinks.

If you like dark, divey bars with a rough-but-friendly atmosphere, you'll enjoy this bar. If not, you won't. The place is hard to find since it doesn't look like a bar from the outside. I had a couple of good, strong drinks served by a friendly bear of a bartender. Very welcoming to non-locals, which isn't always the case with bars here. Don't bring your mother, strong drinks, total dive.

“Waste of Time”
I went a couple of times when they were on Indian School. It wasn't great then, and it's worse now. The bartender was rude and rolled his eyes when I asked for a refill. For a Friday night it was dead. Nobody talked because the music was too loud, and I had to park far away. The only nice thing was a couple of dancers were hot. I won't go back though. Too many problems.
