Anvil Whiskey Bar

"The food taste great and was cooked to specification. They were out of a lot of items on the menu, and it was incredibly slower than average wait times, even for drinks. A huge opportunity here, just missed the mark tonight."

"The bartender was incredibly rude and unprofessional. As soon as we sat down, the bartender came over, threw menus on the table, and said "IDs." No greeting whatsoever. After checking our IDs, he left us waiting between 10-15 minutes before coming back to say, "Can I see your ID again? I thought I gave you enough time to leave." Perhaps we didn't leave because we were of legal drinking age? 25 years old, to be exact. He stated he's never seen an Illinois driver's license before (which is weird for a bartender to admit) and that I would have better luck trying it out somewhere else. He then threw my legitimate license across the table. Furthermore, when this was brought to the manager, they were dismissive and stated they trusted their bartender's judgement. Customer service is not a priority here. It is evident that they don't value their customers or take any responsibility for the unprofessional and discriminatory behavior of their staff. I would advise others to think twice before giving them their business. The lack of respect and human decency is truly embarrassing. I give them 1 star for letting me keep my license so I can drive back to Illinois lol"

"Refuses adults who look young despite having a valid ID. Poor training in identifying ID’s from out of state."

"Upon entering The Anvil, a close friend of mine was routinely asked to show ID. Being the 25-year-old, fully legal, permanent IL resident that they are, they proceeded to show their valid driver’s license. The bartender asked for the address on the license, to which the address was correctly recited to the bartender. After being seated for approximately 10 minutes, the bartender approached the table and stated “I thought I gave you enough time to get out of here.” Apparently the bartender was unable to properly identify a legitimate IL driver’s license and almost snapped it and half prior to quite literally throwing it back at my friend. The manager was made aware of the situation and stated “I trust his judgement.” He should have said lack of judgement considering, once again, the individual in question was quite literally a 25 year old patron. The service received was absolutely grotesque and there was absolutely no reason to approach the matter with such hostility. Lots of bars and restaurants in the town of Findlay, go elsewhere for better treatment, beverages, food, and service. 0/10."

"Really cool and chill atmosphere. Great place to relax with friends and grab a drink. Limited food menu but really not there for the food. Even more fun when they have live entertainment. Love sitting on the balcony on warm summer nights."
