Montrose Bars & Nightlife

Midwest native Chris Shepherd embraces his adopted home, Houston, with deep love, so expect some Southern comfort with your order: deep-fried pickle slices, peanut-butter-and-jelly wings (we weren't sure either, until we tried them, then we were damn sure), and a really solid burger.

Anvil's cocktail menu can be intimidating to the uninitiated. Or for that matter, to the initiated.
