Anvil Ax - Everettville

This place doesn't take reservations. It's a bar. I made reservations here on homecoming weekend and showed up to a private event and it being only a cocktail bar with no seating available.

Does not accept reservations despite what online accounts say. It seemed like a great place to grab a drink, had a private event going on so couldn't stay to enjoy. Made a reservation on OpenTable but arrived and was told they don't even take reservations.

Excellent food and service. The Manhattan chowder was very good and filling. The chicken quesadilla was very tasty and full of chicken as was the Caesar salad with the smoked chicken. The roast beef was tender and tasty. We stopped for lunch but could envision this a fun place in the evening when more people could “throw the axes”! There are back rooms for larger groups. Very clean and well maintained!

Bartenders were nice, bar itself is cozy and nice ambiance. However, it seems the drinks have significantly gone down hill since they opened. The aviation tasted like sugary lemonade, no taste of gin. She did offer to make another and I appreciated that but declined. Would also expect fresh ingredients for a $15 drink, not juice concentrate.. Limited and out of season cocktail menu. They need to revamp their menu, ingredients and quality of cocktails they’re serving. We will not be returning :

Drinks were great. Would have preferred a more focused friendly bartender, though.
