Annex Nightclub

Good looking establishment. Two bars and plenty of room for dancing or just hanging out. Beautiful waiters. Good sound system. Only issue is drinks prices are a little high and the bathrooms for the men is disgusting. This place needs management to be more on point with making the facility enjoyable.

Food was decent, service was cool. The atmosphere was all that though

bought 4 drinks and spent over $100 after paying $20 to get in… I know clubs are usually expensive but my gosh. That’s absolutely ridiculous and bordering on robbery. Music was alright. Vibe was trash. Bartenders were nice tho

Was mildly fun for the first hour or two until I decided to go to the bathroom and literally saw someone overdose on drugs turning blue and unresponsive. There was literally little to no one helping her or any sort of policy for when that happens apparently. Not sure if she made it out alive but that was enough for me to never want to come back.

I was so excited about my food but when it came out my steak was so bloody when I asked for well done, my eggs and potatoes were so cold. They took it back and brought me back another bloody steak smh! At this point I didn’t want anything else but a drink.

Brunch was great!!! Love the day time party. Great atmosphere. Hostess and waitress very friendly. Waitress very attentive although she was very busy. Planning a return trip already.

This place charges $5 per water (refuse to serve normal tap water even though they are more than capable to do so), the staff is rude and the place smells like weed. Incredibly overpriced and would not recommend and it’s not worth your time or money. Stay away!

We came to see Pauly D who was great, but the security was insane. We were in the front just dancing and having a good time when one of the security guards came over and pushed my friend and I on the ground very aggressively. We both have bruises on our backs from how hard he pushed us down. The people around us were even shocked that he did that. It was clear he was very angry already because people were waving their hands in his face dancing to the music, but we’ve never experienced anything like that before. I am not one to write reviews or report things, but that security guard went way to far. Hopefully the management handles this or they’re definitely going to get sued at some point.

Don't go here unless you like a place that's falling apart. The staff sucks. Rude and don't know how to do anything right. $12 for a half shot that tastes watered down... my friend got a table for her birthday and it was impossible to contact anyone. One of the managers was DRUNK when responding and offered us a $900 bottle. We only saw our server once maybe twice in the span of 4 hours that we were there and it was because we had to HUNT her down to even get her attention. Because apparently spending $300 is not enough... staff all had an attitude and their egos are bigger than their ability to get anything right. There was a nail in our booths seat that was sticking out and ripped my boyfriends pants... place was falling apart, nasty, and a horrible environment. Only good thing was the chicken wings... which took about 2 1/2 hours to come out?? Go to tin roof. They got egos there but at least they're a better crowd and know what they're doing

Made a reservation on OpenTable for a birthday. If you mention on the app that it's a birthday, you get free mimosa (peep the receipt)! Dj music is solid. Great service from Moriah. Downsides: the booth table is really low so it's a bit difficult to eat. Food orders were backed up so it took a bit for the food to come.

If you want the feel like you are a depressed woman look no farther. This is the bar. Men will grab you. There is no TP. And the DJ's are old men pushing buttons for a confused young woman that looks uncomfortable. Yeehaw. AMERICA.

We spent about 20 minutes at the bar to get some drinks and we never had a chance to get anything. The smell of marijuana was up to the roof inside. We decided to leave and asked for a refund for getting in and they said no refund. The charge was $40 per person. What a rip off.

The annex is why I don't go to clubs anymore. I went to the annex for a New Year's Eve party that I had to buy tickets for only to arrive to total chaos. There was no organization, the crowd kept pushing and shoving and the staff did nothing to calm people. Someone who thought they had clout because they had a table was allowed to go in first even though we were waiting and tickets had already been bought. The people that attended were vile. Fights broke out at the end of the night, people were rude and I'm embarrassed by their behavior. The "men" were using profanities to describe women that didn't do anything to thembut be alive. I wouldn't recommend this club to a rat. It was the worst way to bring in the new year and I haven't been to a club since. The staff heard/saw how people were getting treated and they did nothing because they were too worried about money. I want to attend an establishment where everyone can go and have fun and disrespectful people are dealt with accordingly. Worst experience I've ever had.

Terrible! Drove over 30 mins cause i had a blast last time I came to the establishmen. not the case tonight. It was a fucking joke. I walked up to the security i said hi how are ya. First thing out of her mouth was ai couldn't come in due to the shoes I was wearing. Seems like more bc no one where in their dress code list was anything about shoes you couldnt wear. Rude and as I was discussing with her about the dress code. A young arabic boy stepped to me and told me to leave when i was mid chat with the security. I dont know who he is but he needed to fuck off. I fully expect management to reach out. To discuss what happened. As it was complete bullshit.

This is my first time going to the club and I was excited, it was my girlfriend cousins birthday and I wanted to show my support. I get carded at the door and they said your only 20 I can't let you in. I would have had no problem with that but they let a 20 year old female in. I said alright and walked away but then I had an idea to bribe the men. I asked how much does it cost to get in and the white man didn't know, so he asked the black guy... it was 30 dollars, so I asked if I could give him 50 and he let me in.. he said you would need a 100 to get in and another 50 for something else, at that point I was pissed off because not only did they let a girl that's younger than me in, but they wanted a 100+

"The place with the shortest line"- dancing and drinks in Detroit. I would not have stopped here if it wasn't for the fact that I hadn't planned ahead well and everywhere else was extremely busy. We hopped on line (about 15 people waiting), paid the cover ($10 dollars), and were inside before we even knew the name of the club. Overall it was not a great experience. The bartenders were fine, it took quite a while to get a drink, but that is pretty typical for a crowded club. The music was actually really good. They played mainly Latin hits which I enjoyed quite a bit. Other than that though the atmosphere just felt pretty creepy and I definitely will not be returns. Quick note: -They shoot off cannons of cold air/smoke from the ceiling at random points when the beat drops in songs. I was warned by another patron that it is very painful if you are looking in the direction of the cannon when it goes off, which would likely be a very easy thing to do.

We chose Annex for a friends Bachelorette Party this past Saturday and we had amazing service. We had a few VIP tables and bottle service and we were very well taken care of by all of the staff. Special shoutout to Brian Jeffries and Craig Jelenik for making our evening so amazing and fun. We definitely had the red carpet treatment. This was not my first time to Annex, every single time I visit this club, I am always treated like a queen. More people should chose this place to spend their weekends. Plenty of table space, seating, room to dance, and the best part about it was that we didn't have to wait long for drinks. Definitely will be back for our next special event. Thank you again to the amazing staff who took such good care of us!

My experience here was really fun and entertaining. With it being halloween weekend, it was definitely jam packed all weekend. Bartenders here were very friendly and attentive (which is very rare to see in a big city like Detroit). Cover charge was 20 bucks friday night and 15 Saturday. Plenty of room here to dance or if you want a booth they have plenty as well. DJs they bring in here are top notch. Definitely a great place to come with friends to celebrate a birthday. Check it out

I'm all for Detroit businesses, and expanding the club scene in Detroit, but this place needs to change much about itself to progress. This is not an edm club, it's a general remixed pop music dance club meant for straight people who want to have a VIP section. I feel like this is the only club I've seen where more than half the area was VIP sections. The dance floor is typically crowded, people tend to be younger here and less than courteous. The line to entry is an inconvenience, with only 2 people checking people in at a time. There's literally only one bar that people crowd around to get some liquor or domestic beers (sorry no craft beer here), so you better pregame because it isn't worth waiting forever for a drink here. So unless you're straight, 21-23, into remixed top 40 hits, want to dress up, and here to celebrate a birthday, I don't really recommend this place, that is until they feel like changing anytime soon.

I went there with a friend on Saturday. We got there late to a friend's bday celebration, around 12. The bouncer was so rude and unhelpful. Even though, I told him the name of our host, he insisted that we weren't on the list and did not even make an effort to help or verify. Though I had written confirmation and our friend was willing to vouch, he made no effort. Yes, she should have made sure we were on the "list," but a little effort and professionalism could have prevented disappointing customers. He attempted to charge us $20 at the door.... which is idiotic.... the club should cost less as the night wears on, not more. Long story short, we did not get to attend our friend's celebration, and she was disappointed all because of one bouncer's power trip, and poor customer service. TLDR: Poor customer service, costs more than it's worth. Expensive drinks.

Wish I could give zero stars . Went here for a friends event, was on a guest list and everything, but the bouncers continued to tell me and my friend no they didn't want to let us in ( mind you it's a Tuesday night and no one is in there club) LOL They were assholes and I will never go to this club again!

I might maybe have rated The Annex 1.5 stars just to give them credit for booking good talent for Movement weekend, however the experience was so terrible that they're lucky they get one star. We bought tickets for Sunday night of Movement for the Drumcode after party. We turned the corner to the event and saw a huge line first. We probably waited for 20 minutes because they didn't issue tickets, so there were two men looking up your name on a list for every single person that bought tickets to the sold out event. We were luckily in line early enough because it kept growing and people likely waited longer than we did. Then after they checked your name off, they checked your ID again to give you a bracelet for drinks if you were over 21, and then they were only letting a certain amount of people in at a time. It wasn't even busy, so I don't know why they were making us wait, but I waited at the front of the line for a few minutes before being allowed to go up. Once up, the space is set up weird with booths along all walls, but a huge bar in the middle so it creates a really small dance floor and cuts off half the bar from seeing the DJ. I thought it was a new place (I could be wrong here), but it looks old. The biggest issue is that the place was miserably hot. If I had to guess how hot it was in there, I'm pushing 100. I was sweating like a bikram yoga class before the place even got busy, and the busier it got, the hotter it got. It made it impossible to even be near the dance floor with all the hot sweaty bodies. We had to stand near the door to get any type of relief, and my friend and I even went and stood in the bathroom for 15 minutes because it was the coolest place we could find and we could wash our faces with cool water. That's how hot it was. Another friend even had to go to the bathroom to threw up because he was so sick. That's not even safe. This was night two of Movement, and I was wondering how the previous night's afterparty went and if it was this hot. From other reviews, it sounds like this place might always be hot, so they're clearly not fixing it. It 100% ruined our time and we ended up going outside for a break from the heat. The entire smoking area was packed to the brim and they even had to make it bigger to accommodate all the red faced people just trying to breathe. We ended up leaving because none of us could fathom going back up.

Made the mistake of buying tickets for the annex's NYE 2018 Party. Stood outside for a solid hour and never got in, while The Lions second string got in without paying. Frankly, I'm not much of a sports fan... but the second string got in when the first string can't win a thing? Really? Like how much DO YOU SUCK to be on the Lions second string? When I paid to get in and stood in line. Waiting for my refund for this shit party. Still very confused as to how this is acceptable....?

Rating this place specifically on the workers - 2 woman accused my sister and I for doing drugs in the handicap stall (she was changing her shirt, I was holding the broken door). Then proceeds to tell me I'm too drunk and my next drink needs to be a water or I'll be escorted out (was on my second drink). Not to mention there was about 50 people in the whole club. You do not treat customers in that fashion. Get new security. You are not badass for treating TOTALLY SOBER customers that way.

Worst experience ever! One of the male bartenders was EXTREMELY rude, we waited for over 40 minutes at the bar for one drink, and the bathroom was disgusting! I mean, really disgusting. There was blood everywhere (multiple stalls, all over the floor, and the sink counters were littered with bloody tissues). The stalls didn't have locks on them, the toilet paper rolls were on the nasty wet floors, and all of the soap dispensers were broken and empty. It looked like it hadn't been tended to in months.

This bar was the worst on NYE!! My friends and I waited over an hour in the freezing cold to be denied entry. Truly unacceptable conditions. Will never go back nor recommend this space! Avoid at all costs!

The worst club II have ever been to. The music is insanely loud so that you can't communicAte haardly with anyone, including your friends and employees. None of the women's toilet stalls have working locks. Coat check was confused what coat was mine even after I gave them my assigned ticket number. Terrible environment where angry men throw drinks and at everyone. I was completely soaked in whiskey when I had to leave and I tried asking a "police officer" for help. This place is a complete joke.

Fun night out, but nothing special to me. To get a booth you must purchase their bottles of alcohol. Drinks were alittle light on alcohol unless you buy your own bottle.

DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGUSTING!! I have come to the annex before with a booth and bottle service with no issues but this time we couldn't have had a worse experience! Me and my friends were using the restroom and for no reason whatsoever 3 bouncers busted down the door on us in the stall COMPLETELY INVADING OUR PRIVACY and were thrown out the the club! We asked them what we had done wrong and no one had an answer for us in fact they replied "we don't know" You're telling me you don't know why you disrespected 3 young women in a bathroom stall?! Absolutely unacceptable! Will never be back! Spend your money somewhere else!!

The wurst sound system ever!!!! On top of that, the drinks are sooooooo over priced for how much you get. First time and last experience ever!!! Thanks for taking my money you leeches!!!!

DO NOT CHECK IN YOUR EXPENSIVE COAT HERE. I would give this place half star if i could. At the end of the night I went to get my coat from the coat check, I had gave them 2 tickets. First ticket was my jacket and second was my husband's but they gave his coat away to some random person that had NO TICKET and had said they described his CANADA GOOSE coat. I was furious because i had gotten him that coat for Christmas. I really don't understand how if someone says they lost their ticket they should wait until the end of the night until all the coats clear out and if they claim that in the end it's their coat then it'll be that owners. Not only did they mishandled his coat, his car keys and apartment key were in his coat. So that being said we had to wait outside in 22 degree weather with just his T-shirt on for 30 mins until our friend came to pick us up. Then he had to call maintenance and pay the guy a $25 fee to have them come open his door to get inside our apartment. I'm pretty sure that the person that took off with his CANADA GOOSE coat will not return it. I'm definitely looking forward to how this will be handled.

Fun party place. Nice crowd. Good Dj choice of music. Drinks are reasonably priced. Waitresses are courteous and helpful.

Worst club ever, if you can help it do not use a credit or debit card here. You will be victimized through credit card fraud. Apparently it is an inside job and the employees are stealing your information to use your card for other purchases. Never again...

As a returning customer, I was very disappointed with the booth service that was provided for several reasons. First, during my groups arrival we were greeted with a pretty young woman who showed us to our table and informed us that booth service was first come first serve. Makes sense. However, that was not true. My group and I arrived early and were given the WORST booth possible (a booth so bad that it shouldn't even be an option), the booth was in a dark corner behind the stage and we were completely cut off from the rest of the club. At that time the young lady called over a manager who tells us that we cannot have any of the other available booths because they were waiting on REGULARS, which completely disregards the whole "first come first serve" policy that you informed me about. We were there first and were left with no other option besides leaving. This completely ruined everyones vibe because no one expected to receive such a horrible booth. If this was a professional business with good management, the right thing would have been to inform larger parties of where they would be seated. Also, when one employee misinforms a customer there should be some accountability on the behalf of her actions. Thank you, Annex for a huge Birthday disappointment and you welcome for the 20% gratuity (automatic gratuity) that was not deserved by any means.

This place was decent a year ago but now they just let anyone and everyone in. No matter what you're wearing which made it look like a club/pool hall/dive bar. So after my experience this pass weekend I will never be returning. My husband and I had a booth, purchased 4 bottles (and they were not cheap) and while minding our own business and having a good time one of the bouncers approached my husband with a hostile attitude asking him if he's alright because he was dancing at our booth. Both his feet were on the floor, he was not drunk, he was smiling, he was not touching anyone else, bumping into anyone and we were both smiling and laughing. So to ask if he's alright was strange. I know most are use to people sitting and staring at their phone even while at the bar but my husband and I. We laugh, dance and mind our business. The bouncers think they are part of the Detroit swat team. It's sad your 40 yrs old and that's your goal...trying to find a problem and just dying to have some sort of authority, you don't have authority! You have a minimum wage job... To many choices for our nights out and we decide to give this place $1000. Won't be happening again

I have given this place a try three times and I could not tell anybody why I came back after the first. I made reservations at 350 and the weather was not in my favor and they called and said they were moving to annex. I was pretty disappointed but figured maybe it wouldn't be so bad but it was. Their "employees" are rude disorganized and do not know what it is going or how to do their job. The entire place is an oven and literally cooks you in the building. It is so hot in there. After standing outside in a mosh pit of people for over 20 minutes and telling their so called employees we have reservations we got someone's attention. We were led up the stairs to an over packed floor and their "employee" did not know where to seat is because other people were sitting where we were suppose to be. So she says us and said we were okay. We sat down order our very over priced bottles and tried to make the best out of the night and then one of their employees came up to us and was just rude as hell saying we were sitting in the wrong booth when someone had sat us there saying it was okay. To anyone who takes the time to read this, I would not come here or to 350. These people do not know how to run an establishment. I have been in the service industry for over 6 years and this is not how you treat people and their prices are ridiculous. You are better off going to leftys in freaking midtown.
