Anvil
Houston, Texas
The name might sound like Wile E. Coyote's worst nightmare — but not to worry, as there are no Acme products here. Instead, it's the cocktails at Anvil that will be doing the damage. Famous for its meticulously formulated and crafted drinks, it offers up libations such as the habanero-tinted Pliny's Tonic and the adventurous Fredericksburg Flip, which combines bourbon, Becherovka, lemon, hefeweizen, egg, and cacao sarsaparilla bitters. They also offer a limited selection of beers and wines if liquor isn't your thing — just check the hanging chalkboard for the current picks.
