"Rick" Burger
Mark E.

So, during these COVID times, we needed to find a place that didn't close at 10pm or earlier. We did our search and found the Annex Bar. I've been here before for takeout in the past year, as I've read that this is one of Cleveland's best "hole-in-the-wall" bars. This being the first time I've dined-in, initial impression was that the place seems out-of place. It doesn't seem like the place you would find in "this part of town." The crowd and the staff are friendly, almost like a "Cheers" feel when you walk-in and see everyone engaging with one another. After a beer or so, all the judgement went away and we just had a great time. I ordered "Rick" Burger basket and my friend got the "Patty" melt basket. The fries are similar to fair-style fries, small shoestring size fries with skin on it and freshly cut and cooked. The burgers were meaty and juicy, hand-patty and made to order. The special "Rick" sauce wasn't anything special to me, I thought it was mostly Mayo, but it was very enjoyable to eat because of the quality burger. I would recommend this place; very nostalgic for me. Reminds me of the types of places I used to go to in my early 20's. I will be keeping this place in my shortlist of places to hang-out with friends in the future.

Great little neighborhood style bar. Burgers are amazing. Reminds me of a corner bar back home. Very local flavor. Immediately felt welcome, even though the other folks were regulars.

I've heard about this place for years and everyone talks about how delicious the burger is! I was not disappointed and will be back again!

See all

Great dive bar. If I lived in Ohio I think I would end up getting divorced because I would be there all the time. Great food also!

Small and unassuming. One of the best burgers in the area, bar none. The only piece of advice that I can give is don't be in a hurry.

I had written a review a long time ago that I eventually deleted due to some changes that happened…read moreat this location. This is based upon after those changes. The location has undergone some positive decor changes in the past year or so. It is much more welcoming than it was before and just feels like a place to be comfortable. Maybe it is the bar stools that make that happen. :) Best bar stools around! The afternoon crew that sits on the corner by the garage door is a great group of people who welcome in anyone to join their group and just have some fun conversation. It gets pretty comical with those guys, so be prepared. Speaking of the garage door...it opens to a very large deck area that can get pretty busy during the summers. There is a good amount of seating out there as well as some patio furniture to just sit down and relax. Inside is mostly high top tables, but there are a lot of booths for people who like that type of seating. The group of bartenders and servers are quality at this point. They do their jobs quickly, and want you to enjoy yourself.

They offer great takeout services, and everything was made fresh. Service was very fast, didn't…read morehave to wait long for our food to be ready for pick up. I love that they packaged all the toppings for our loaded nachos separately so that the chips didn't get soggy.y only complaint is that there were quite a few toppings missing off our veggie delight pizza (specially the lettuce, green peppers and balsamic vinaigrette drizzle). But the food was super good and great value for the portion sizes and taste!
