What People Are Saying About The Annex
The Editor
Katie Heffernan
Citysearch
The second venture from the founders of Dark Room progresses their style from a hip DJ den to word-of-mouth live music. Rich with golden lighting against mahogany walls, the narrow shoebox of a room tunnels your vision to a tiny raised stage, where mostly indie shows draw swarms of neighborhood scenesters. A few circular booths cradle groups, and a second-story balcony and lounge allows a bird's-eye view of it all.

I had made a table reservation for a party a month in advance and later checked in to confirm a few days before the party – all appeared to be set. Upon arrival, the doorman did not have my reservation listed, the guests with my party were not all comped at the door as I had been told, and to top it all off, the bottle price was much higher than I had been quoted when making the reservation. Overall, the experience was infuriating and a great disappointment. The annex is a good spot for a few drinks and some good music but for a table reservation, I would not recommend.

We just played at the Annex, and it was great. The staff there were really nice. The sound was amazing. And we love Xiating! She is a great booker. Really patient and easy to work with. Always gets back to us promptly. It's rare and hard to find nowadays.

Went here a few weeks ago to see a friends band, I liked the atmosphere, all the wood was really nice and the lights were cozy.. there were even candles! I loved it. Everyone who worked there seemed super nice, contrary to popular citysearch belief.. ha. Sound was great, pbr was average priced if not cheaper than some of the bars in that neighborhood, liquor selection seemed good, and the door price wasnt incredibly cheap but not bad for the size of the place. It was cool and a nice place to relax when i was there on a monday, i'd come back. I'll have to check out a weekend night next!
