The Annex

This is a nice small venue for music and general pubbery(yes, I just coined that phrase). Good bar food and beer in a venue that I believe hills account 450 people. Good acoustics and a close-up vibe makes this a great place to watch an intimate show, drink and eat well, and have some fun

Great venue! Went there for Hip Hop Orchestra tonight. We didn't have food, but the beer selection was really nice, and the service was excellent. I also appreciated that the bathrooms were clean! So glad Norfolk has a venue like this to showcase local talent. Note: parking is limited, and there is street parking nearby, so be sure to arrive early/on time for whatever event you're attending here.

First time coming here and was pleasantly surprised how well the in house brewed beer was and at a fair cost unlike many other breweries. We attended a show called No BS Brass, tried the spin duo and had a few beers each. The only complaint was that while sitting at the bar eating and drinking we never got serviced. No one asked if our food was good. And every time I wanted a beer had to get up from the bar and stand in line for a beverage.

Seriously, Norfolk now has one of the best live music venues. With a capacity of just 460, it's killer to see big touring bands in an intimate space. Fantastic layout, production and super nice staff!

We attended a concert at The Annex last night, The Hookz and Lua Flora. The food was delicious and they have a large selection of beers. The acoustics were good for a warehouse style venue. We arrived just as the Hookz were starting and we're able to get a table in the restaurant bar where we could hear the band. Later we moved to the room where the stage was located. There's seating along the walls with a counter and stools. The Annex is wonderfully intimate venue. I highly recommend seeing a show there and enjoying the food, it was unexpected and a step up from typical bar food.
