I'm a regular nextdoor at the Ash and Anvil Cigar Lounge and I've always thought it was a cool concept, but being a nondrinker I figured that I had no business going in there.
My friends always rave about the high quality drinks that they partake of at the Forge, but I always feel left out. At least until a few days ago. I was talking to a friend and the nice lady who works over there suggested a drink for me too. I told her I didn't drink, but that I was a bourbon man in my youth. She asked if I'd like an Old Fashioned and I thought "Why not?" Lo and behold, I took one tiny sip and I was shocked at the quality of an NA bourbon. I found Heaven twice in G-Town and on the same block.
Not only do they have the best alcohol in town, they think of us less fortunate, too. Thinking outside of the box is a way of life with these folks. On the weekends they have food trucks sitting out front, so no need to leave when you're hungry. Also, as a nondrinker, I tend to feel left out, but they make all sorts of drinks for us.
Being a speakeasy, there's a code to get buzzed in. Just say "Joe Sent Me" and you'll be let in to a top notch experience and a bunch of friends you just haven't met yet. read more
