In general, I find Solon a bit of a suburban wasteland of spread out strip malls and chain stores. The Annex, however, stands out as a fantastic dive bar. I would go to this bar anywhere, but I appreciate it all the more since it provides welcome relief from Applebees, Tony Roma's, and the like. When I'm in town visiting my folks, this is most definitely my watering hole of choice. I've never tried the food, but it's a great spot for cheap drinks.
