    If I could I would give this place a negative 5 star. They oversold their New Year’s Eve event so that my boyfriend and I that paid $200 for the event were standing in the freezing cold for hours with no chance of getting in before midnight. When the bouncers were yelling out for people to buy more tickets I questioned why they were selling more when there were already people standing outside that bought tickets ahead of time. The bouncer told me to get out of line because I questioned their actions and I said no, I was standing in that line for two hours and did nothing wrong. He had a female bouncer come grab me by the arm when I wasn’t resisting getting out of the line and being compliant and she literally threw me on the cement ground face first and started laughing. I was physically assaulted and no one seemed to care. All the other security acted like they didn’t see anything. I knew he had the female do it so it wouldn’t seem like physical assault, but it was. I called the company and no one cared. I’ve never been physically abused like that in my life and I’m forever traumatized. Except for sports events, this place brought me to the decision I will never go to Detroit for anything again. Mentally scarred.

    Honestly this is my first review ever. I’m just so overwhelmed with the disaster that has happened tonight. 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 wife’s jacket and second was mine but they gave my coat away to some random person that had NO TICKET and had said they described my CANADA GOOSE coat. My wife was furious because she had gotten me 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 mishandle my coat, my car keys and my apartment key were in my coat. So that being said I had to wait outside in 22 degree weather with just a T-shirt on for 30 mins until my friend came to pick me up. Then I had to call maintenance and pay the guy a $25 fee to have them come open my door to get inside my apartment. I honestly have never wrote a review at all but it clearly was such a bad incident that occurred. I’m pretty sure that the person that took off with my CANADA GOOSE coat will not return it. I’m definitely looking forward to how this will be handled.

    My birthday is Sunday September 8th. I booked 2 booths side by side and was paying for 6 bottles of champagne. I got a room at MGM for that weekend for my birthday and i just received a texted saying my booths were sold already. I feel like the guy sold them to someone he/she may know and booted me out. I had family and friends coming and plenty of co-workers from Chrysler. I’m highly upset and now my birthday is ruined. Now you missed out on thousands of dollars. I felt that was very unprofessional and i love coming to this club now you get 2 thumbs down from me and I’m telling everyone i know not to come here.

    On a Friday... This spot doesn't accept debit nor credit cards for an entry fee, only cash. Their atm close by charged me four bucks and Chase bank charged me some more. And on top of that the cost of entry was thirty bucks. at around 11:30 PM. Didn't buy not one drink (not that I needed it). So, I cannot comment on that aspect. The upwards stair climb leading to the increasingly loud music gives you the impression that the cost of entry was worth the price. And it isn't. But it wasn't too disappointing either. The place is filled with the stuff that can get you high so "use that to your advantage." However, I don't smoke plants. So, I didn't like my lungs and clothes being saturated with it. I admit the black women here look good, dressed nice (some hood, some not). And a few were some of the best looking black women I've seen at a spot in a long time. Many "taken of course." But still approachable nonetheless. The music is Hip Hop all night. Cool... What I'm used to. There were some non-black women speckled here and there. Which was a cool offset from the norm. However, this spot hosts a mostly black folk crowd. And... also, the Detroit police are downstairs waiting. Which seems to be a common practice with this nightclub. So, be... ware!

    Paid $20 cover fee. Had a friend who wasn’t paying that to get in so she was trying to give me my car keys. I tried asking if I could step outside to grab them from her really quick and then come back inside and the worker was saying $10 re-entry fee. After questioning that after already paying $20 to get in, another worker started yelling at me and becoming unnecessarily rude saying I was holding up his line and then I was basically forced out. Just very disappointing for my first time there and to overall be treated like that

    Great atmosphere, it's like two clubs in one. On one side the DJs playing House music or throwback jams, then on the other side of the club the DJs spinning something completely different. In the summertime you can go out on the patio and there's a completely different DJ playing different music. I love it there's something for everyone.

    This is the legitimately one of the most mediocre table experiences I’ve ever had. I visited some university friends that live in Michigan and we picked this place based on popularity of online reviews. Booked a table in advance, showed up on time. Host led us to the wrong table (where another group was already seated) and no employee came to rectify until we asked a bouncer. Then, 35 minutes went by until the server came to take our order. Another 20 minutes went by until we got our bottles. This place wouldn’t last more than a month in a major metropolitan area. Save your time.

    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.

    I went here months ago but I am just now writing this review because my experience is still not sitting right with me. It’s literally a joke amongst my friend group how bad this place is it’s honestly the worst nightclub in Detroit. They’re trying to charge LA, Vegas, Miami club prices when they’re in Detroit. $20 to get in with cash only and a long line outside only to get in and be half empty. The drinks are were beyond over priced. $17 for a half shot of patron I need this place to get serious. Just a complete utter mess! very rude staff and rapey customers, fights just all types of nonsense. If this was the only place to hangout on the weekends I’d just stay home.

    Trash place. Whoever promotes here needs to sit tf down! Flyer said everyone comes in free and they still charged us 20$ It’s not just that, we reserved a booth and when we got there they said they were sold out. Do yourself a favor and go to royal oak or Ferndale and you’ll have a better time. Also security needs to stop getting all tough just because they got some flash lights

    Refused to serve tap water. Gratuity was charged by default on bottled water. Music was painfully loud, (I usually like loud music, this was a health hazard). Certainly not worth the $20 per head cover charge. We left shortly after arriving. Will never return.

    I've been there before and had a great time, but last weekend my friend planned a bday party there. They reserved a booth for us and we were a group of 30. Only half of our group got in without cover (mind you we ordered four bottles). Someone tell me why they needed so much money from us. I'm still furious with how things were taken care of. I don't recommend this venue to any big party. If you're less than 15 it might be worth it. We felt like we were ripped off, and so we'll be sticking to the other fun clubs we've been celebrating at. DO NOT come here if you're planning on getting a booth somewhere for a party of 10 + because they will rip you off. And to top it all off everyone who worked there that night had a stick up their ass, and I was pouring my own drinks all night at the booth. The service was garbage.

    I had Stephanie as a waitress for my birthday party at Annex with all my friends in a booth recently. She made sure my experience was special, as this was my first time at the club. She was very attentive and quick with service. She even took the time to take a group picture of me and my friends, despite being super busy. She made my birthday so special! I will be returning soon! Great music and atmosphere. Highly recommend celebrating a birthday at Annex!

    As a person in the service industry I know how much liquor should be in drinks .. I paid $69 for four shots and they gave us under an ounce per plastic shot cup .. the cup is definitely and specially shot sized and it was under a ¼ full .. and that was disrespectful because it was patron 😒

    This place offers open bar on Fridays from 10pm-11pm and the bartenders seems unhappy about it . My friends and I went this Friday July29 and the only male bartender that was working he wore his hair in braids and had a hat on I didn’t get his name but he was so rude to us , after open bar we brought drinks and one was not good so we tried to get to get his attention to make the drink over and he repeatedly ignored us and when he finally came back over I told him we was trying to get his attention for a while and he yelled at me I was busy I have things to do if you want you come work back here you can and he walked off without resolving the bad drink issue , his tip was already included in the bill so I feel as his service was bad because he is getting tipped anyways so he don’t care about his service to us . I come out to have a good time and he turned my night upside down for being mean and yelling at me because he made a horrible drink

    I went to One Super Lit Brunch. The ceiling above our booth was leaking water from the rain. The food was cold when we got it. My catfish was overcooked and had too much Cajun seasoning (didn't taste good, either). We had a server at the first table. We were eventually moved to our booth when it opened. Because we were in a different section we should have had a different server. Well, we never did. Everyone just walked past our table. Also, the DJ needs to curate a playlist that they can scroll through. Some songs were played 3 times within the first hour we were there.

    Annex is an amazing spot on a Friday. The music and views are amazing. Get a total first before you’re poured a drink to make sure your bill is right because it’s hard to hear at times and carry cash.

    This is the type of place where the waitresses will over charge you for drinks if they can. The music is so loud that, even on the side of the room opposite the speakers, you can't hear more than 2ft away. The bathrooms look like they were annexed by Russia and the shots are short. Skip this place.

  • 2/5 K W. 4 months ago on Google
    I came here as a guest for an event that I helped host. I was encouraged to bring a +1 so I brought one of my best friends not knowing that my friend would later be treated like a second class citizen by the security here. In short, this place is transph*bic. And the security guards are rude as hell. You cannot host an event for a community grounded in social progressiveness and then discriminate against said group. Also, the bar was severely understaffed. I’m not sure if they let more people in than they could realistically serve or what but it would easily take 30-45 minutes of incessantly trying to get a bartenders attention before you could get something as simple as a canned beverage or bottle of water. Otherwise, the atmosphere here was nice. But if I’m going out to spend money I’d rather not do it somewhere where I’m going to be admonished like a child for trying to use the restroom.

    I heard about annex through a group on Facebook. It sounded like this would be a Latin fiesta or some kind of salsa party. I was mistaken. I feel like there was false advertising. All that said I appreciate annex in the fact that they had a wonderful staff for security, wonderful staff for bar, and a whole lot of fun things for friends celebrating birthdays. My last comment is I do not appreciate the customers that smoked pot And cigarettes while inside the club. It made it hard to breathe. I had to leave earlier than I expected. I don't think I will be back unless a best friend or a very close relative asks me to go and help them celebrate an event.

    The atmosphere is nice. The free drinks for 1hr is priceless. Then they have their different events. Now what I will say is that they don't open on time. At lease the times that I have went. We had to wait on the staff and the DJ to get there to get in. And there are too many people at the door giving access to the club. But wh, it's a club. What do you expect. They aren't about customer service. They are about packing a house. Oh well...

    As an entertainer, I am around the night life every single week. I’ve been to many places in the country and I have to say the service from Stephane at the Annex is absolutely TOP NOTCH. She’s kind, polite, knowledgeable & efficient. She truly enhances your experience in an already exceptional environment. Request Stephanie & enjoy your experience . -DJ Ryan Rousseau

    Clearly Detroit's best VIP Dance Club! Hot girls, fun themes, Vegas style Bottle Service, and famous DJs.

  • 4/5 Felipe R. 8 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere with good costumer service. They could improve the bar service by having a couple more bartenders, but other than that, it is a great place to go with a big group if you get one of the VIP sections.

  • 5/5 Ali A. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place, great music and the bartenders are friendly and always in a good mood. Do t get me started on the attractive females that go there or the gogo dancers they have dancing. Me and my friends had a booth and i like how they are semi divided so the section next to you don’t overflow on yours.
