terrible staff

  • No, I would not go back!

I went there last night during open bar, when I tried to buy another shot for my drink because it tasted like there was no vodka in it, the bartender refused to serve me, took my money off the bar and poured out my drinks. When I asked for my money back he threw it in my face. I asked him what was wrong with him and he put his face 1 inch from mine and said "A lot of things are wrong with me" in the creepiest voice, then balled up a napkin and threw it in my face. I'm calling the bar right now to make a complaint.

KEEPING THE BAND-CHEATING TRADITION ALIVE

BANDS -- Even if you're careful the Annex will cheat you out of what little you're owed from the bad deal you're already getting by playing there. The dozen other bands we talked to about this place all had the same horrible experience as us. Take your talent, hard work, and friends' and fans' money somewhere else, because none of it will get any respect or appreciation at the Annex.

Rude Staff

I went to this bar on a Saturday night and was greeted by a friendly bouncer. However, the woman downstairs collecting the cover charge started to degrade us for no reason at all. She used profanities, calling us stupid b*tches, etc.. No one started up with her. She just felt like being mean. She was completely inappropriate and ruined our night. DO NOT GO HERE! Other friends of mine have had similar experiences with some of the staff here.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
