Annexe - Durham

The cocktails and food are amazing! The bartenders and service is so speedy and everyone is super friendly. Definitely one of the best Durham spots!

A vibe with all types of people and great atmosphere! Seasonal drink menu. Rotating live DJ spinning ONLY vinyl on Fridays and Saturdays. Check them out on Instagram at @annexedurham to see who is DJing.

Ask the bouncer what his favorite drink is get it! I swear it is the most delicious thing and I don't even like sweet alcoholic beverages. The dj is a vibe too!

Bartenders unattentive and uninterested in serving customers. Packed and nowhere to sit. This place is WAAAYYY overhyped. Not worth the or time. Unimpressed.

Had so much fun on Saturday night at the Annexe!! Started out at their amazing bar upstairs. I literally want this bar in my house! There were bottles upon bottles upon bottles at the bar--it literally kept going! Any bottle you want they have!The bartenders were super helpful and kind and I went with an old fashioned. It was a little on the sweeter side than I was expecting, but it was still super smooth and easy to drink. For food I was just going to get some fries, but the bartender convinced me to get the butternut squash and bacon risotto. Omg! Sooo good! Nice hint of sweetness and so much flavor! It was literally a party in my mouth! I would recommend sharing this dish as it is a very generous portion.Once I finished eating I headed downstairs to hear DJ Travis spin. Wow! The music was epic and the dance floor was packed the entire night! It was a great mix of 1980s, 90s, and today! There was a mixed and fun crowd, which was so great to see and everyone was having fun!Only draw back was it was very warm and there was not a lot of circulation. So glad that they kept the water cold and next to the bar, so you could grab as much as you needed. And you definitely needed it!I recommend Annexe for anyone looking for a good drink, dancing, and fun!
