Located in the basement of the award-winning big brother restaurant Bar Virgile, Annexe is all about tasty adult beverages and a femme + funk atmosphere. They offer a low-key lounge from 5-9:30 where you can enjoy craft cocktails and delicious bites until they crank it up a notch and light up the dance floor. If you bring a record with you on Wednesday evenings, they'll even play it for you on the turntable.

Great place for a fun vibe with cool cocktails. The crowd really varies (from college kids to older adults) depending on the night and if there's a DJ or what kind of music they're playing but it's still always fun! It can get busy on the weekends.

We've been here twice so far since moving to NC 7 months ago from NYC. While searching for good vibes, this place reminded us of places in NYC and we decided to try it out.
The place is unique, and the music was decent. Their cocktail drink menu is extensive, which I think has its downside, if everyone ordered a specialty drink, the service will tend to be slower.
Our first time we came a few months ago, the place was pretty busy, which was good. There were available seats at the bar too. Our first round of drinks was quick, but the second one took longer than expected. It was so long we ended up leaving after the second drink.
We recently visited again and wanted to give it another shot. It's been a few months, and maybe it'll be different. This time, it was pretty quiet (still early in the night). Once again, first round of drinks came relatively fast. However, the second and we stayed for a third took too long. There was one point, I made eye contact a few times, tried to smile to get their attention, and nothing. It probably took a good 15-20 minutes (it felt like 30) to get another round, and it wasn't busy.
The drinks are decent there and again, like the vibes, the service may need some improvement. Perhaps I'm just used to NYC pace. We tried to give it another chance, I'm sure we'll be back, it may be a while before we come back.
