Keep it simple, stupid. Annex does.
If you drive by Annex, you ask yourself "why does that house have a big parking lot?" Well, that house is not a house but in fact it's a dive bar with a limited food menu. But with that limited food menu, you really do have some simple but spectacular bar food, focusing on burgers and fries. The burgers are fresh and stored in the kitchen fridge. The flat top is basically in the bar so you get a front row seat for your dinner. The fries are potatoes that are pressed a few minutes before dropping in the deep fryer, so you literally can't get a fresher fry. You want fancy? I think there's other places that can accommodate you, because Annex definitely isn't that.
You can probably show up by yourself, but it's probably best to bring a friend or 10 because it seems like everyone here knows one another and knows the bar staff. Apparently there's a ton of regulars, but everyone was nice and they served beer, cold beer, so what's not to like?
If I could give a draft beer, burgers, and fries joint 5 stars, I would. This is as good as it gets for something so basic yet so good.
