When I’m out and about talking about my favorite bar (The Annex in case you haven’t noticed) I simply can’t tell you how many times people say, “Oh… I know that place. That’s a bar?” Yes… it’s a bar. And it’s awesome.
Next week (6/6) there’s a “Tweetup” being held at The Annex. What’s a tweetup you ask? It’s a real-life get together of folks that have met on Twitter (@AnnexBar if you don’t already follow me 😉 ) There are quite a few folks who are making their virgin Annex trek that night and I wanted to put this post out there so they would know awesome when they came across it. See you next week! #AnnexTweetup
Are you attending the tweetup next week? Remember to take pics and send em in!
I’m looking forward to it!!
@Kelly – looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday! ~ Greg
My first visit in the Annex was in 1952………it was called “Locust Inn” ………..across the street on liberty road was a corn field, and on the pettibone side was an empty lot. I grew up & graduated from Solon HS in 1962. I am retired USN, and live in New Orleans. I visit Solon every year, and have a lot of good memories of the Annex. I went there almost every Sunday with my Dad from 52-62. Annex was my dad’s favorite and became mine too!
There were two other bars in Solon then……..Rogers (corner 91&43) Last Round Up (corner Solon Rd, and 91…Rogers was owned by the Davis family and Last Round Up by Neola’s (sp).
I will be visiting this month (Aug) and plan to stop in and have a “Cold One!”
