Tonight I went to the Anvil with friends I was visiting from Acadia. I am from Newfoundland and going to school at UPEI, therefore I have never been to the Anvil before, but was excited to go. When I got there I found out that my one piece of ID was not proficient to allow me entrance. That was acceptable, since it is the same circumstances in Halifax, I just did not expect it in a small town since neither Charlottetown nor my hometown of Corner Brook do double ID. So I called my grandparents in Kentville to bring my wallet so that I could get in. The bouncer told me I could not wait at the door, I would have to wait by myself around the corner. So I went to wait for them in Tim Hortons. After waiting for a twenty minutes for confirmation of my identity, I returned to the line up. The bouncer looked at three of my IDs, then asked if I was having a good night. He was the same bouncer who told me to wait around the corner, so he was aware that I wasn't having a very good night. I shrugged my shoulders and said "meh", cause honestly my night was not going so great; I had just spent twenty minutes waiting alone for my IDs.

If there was another bar in wolfville I’m confident that most students would go there but because the vil is the only one, that’s where students go. I would recommend not going if you want to enjoy your night. The staff here also are known to take people’s IDs so beware even though it may be YOUR ID they will still try and take it and do who knows what with it. Everyone who works there is very sketchy and I do not...
