Anvil Bar & Refuge

Cocktail bar in a converted Firestone garage on Lower Westheimer. The roll-up glass garage doors and rough-brick interior are an instant Montrose mood.

Creator notes

What works here

Exterior reads best at dusk when the warm interior light spills onto the sidewalk through the open doors. Inside photography is fine as long as it doesn't bother other guests — keep flashes off. Pair with neighboring Underbelly Hospitality spots for a strip shoot.
