Part of the Gay Phoenix Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix leather and fetish bar with a relaxed door policy.
Anvil is Arizona's only dedicated leather, Levi, and fetish bar, on Thomas Road in central Phoenix. The interior runs dark and industrial to match the leather, gear, and kink subcultures it serves, but the door is welcoming and there's no strict dress code, so newcomers and the curious aren't turned away. Inside you'll find a long main bar, a small stage for go-go dancers, and a pool table. The feel is laid-back social club more than high-volume nightclub — this is where the leather tribe comes to relax with each other. Programming leans on karaoke and open-mic nights alongside theme parties, gear and pup-play events, and Sunday beer busts hosted with local leather clubs. A daily happy hour keeps the early evenings easy. For anyone into the leather and fetish side of Phoenix's scene, it's the anchor; there isn't another bar like it in the state.
