| - Why do I go to the Green Room? Well, because it's close to where I live. And if anyone else lives in the Annex they can tell you: there really aren't many options. Or rather, there aren't really many decent options. Actually, there's really nothing decent at all.
Now, to the point: the Green Room is a reliable venue. You know it's always going to be there and it's always going to be busy. On Friday and Saturday nights it can be hard finding a table, and since the sound carries poorly, it's usually hard to concentrate or focus on any sort of constructive conversation with the person or people you're with. The good thing though: most people don't have constructive conversations after a couple of pints (though they always seem to think they do).
There are two floors, and of the two floors I prefer the first. Many people will probably tell you that the upstairs "is an entirely different vibe," and it is. Louder music, rowdier people. If you're into that, awesome! If there are no table downstairs, chances are you may-may-may be able to find one upstairs.
The best thing about the Green Room is the entrance, located in the alley. If you bring out-of-towers to the bar they'll probably say something like, "Are you taking me to get raped?" And you'll say something like, "No, I'm taking you to the Green Room." They like that.
