I had the opportunity to check out Anvil and Forge last weekend. Turned out to be such a cool experience. First, if you have never had their beer, you have to try it. They have a nice balanced array from dark to lite beers. The atmosphere is awesome and the service was top notch. Especially if you get to meet “Uncle Steve!”
Uncle Steve is quite the character. I spoke to him for maybe 45 minutes while just sipping their beer. 100% Chicago is they way I would describe him. But definitely a reason to go an sit at the bar. He had great stories and although I don’t think he is an official “barkeep” he will poor you a beer or two if you ask.
Check out their beer list below:
Well, it was brought to my attention that Anvil and Forge is doing OPEN MICs on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday and Saturday evenings each month. Looks like Lance Cain will MC, and sign up begins at 6PM with the show starting at 7PM.
The longer I am here the more I am finding out there there is so much to do here locally. So bring your talent to Anvil and Forge, and make sure to come THIRSTY!
