Pierce Street Annex is a trendy kind of bar small dance floor. they do however have a great BBQ pit to make your own burgers. and they do have a nice staff.

Not that young of a crowd. However the bigger issue is that the dress code is apparently unmovable for religious tolerance. A medical student from UCI was not let in recently because he was wearing a turban. Google "pierce street annex no hats sikh" for the full story. Someone wearing head covering for the purpose of religion should not be barred because of a so-called dress code. What sort of ridiculous place is this?

Cons: Religious intolerance

This is such a great place! I've been there a few times now on Saturdays and Sundays. It's Really fun to go dance and on Sundays, the band is GREAT!!! Drinks are pretty cheap unless you order something with redbull. The bartenders are pretty cool and my favorate waitress Marisa is really cool and friendly. We always have fun with her and good conversation. Very upbeat. I absolutely recommend the place! See you there one of these nights soon. Oh yeah! One of the best parts is you can grill your own food out on the large patio. If you want to make something they don't offer, you can bring it in. I LOVE this bar!!

Pros: Great staff, a place for everybody as long as you're not stuck up, every type of person.

Cons: Redbull drinks are expensive

I like this place. I think it is fun to cook out on the patio. I just wish they had a website available other than myspace. Not all computers allow myspace.

Pros: Can cook your own food purchased there.

Cons: No website

We were just there Sunday 7/8/07 with a very large group of Harley riders. The staff was tremendous, friendly and attentive. Very capable of handling a group of 100 people who all walked in at the same time. The band was fabulous, the food great and we will definitely be back. A great place to go on a Sunday afternoon to listen to music, catch a little sun and have dinner...all at the same place. It's casual and fun. Thanks for having all of us Harley riders!

Low-class crowd, small space. Smelly, wet, and gross bathrooms. Definitely for the barely 21 crowd.

Pros: price

Cons: clientelle

must be the wrong place

We are a very large venue, with an occupancy of 450 people, so how is it a small space. Second, our bathrooms are professionally cleaned each day and we have bathroom attendants on Friday and Saturday. We send our Servers into the bathrooms each night to see if they are a problem. The average age of our crowd is 25 to 40, with many professionals in casual clothing. What night did you go in and why didn't you approach anyone?

The music selection is great and the drinks are moderately priced...but if you want a good time, this place is the place to check out...we actually went on a Friday nite and yeah, it was kinda packed, it still had a great vibe! Good looking people too!

I went to Pierce Street Annex last night at midnight because it was my 21st birthday. it was a tuesday but it was still fairly busy...my cousin had told me about this place so i figured i'd try it out. it's sooo awesome! the bartender kimberly was amazing, she was so sweet! everyone was super friendly and it wasn't expensive at all. i'll definitely be heading back.

Pros: cheap drinks, good people, friendly bartenders.

Cons: a bit of an older crowd when i went

I recently moved to OC and a girlfriend and I wanted to try out bars in the area. After reading a good review on (ta da) citysearch, we decided to check it out. It was an interesting Thursday night to say the least. This bar attracts an older, mixed crowd, which ranged from mid 20s to 70s. I was there with a girlfriend and a drunk 70 year-old lady tried to convince us to dance with her equally old friend. It was cute acutally, but we sadly declined. Friendly bartenders. Good parking. Good music. Spins mostly hip-hop and top 40 music in a decent sized dance floor. Pool tables. Cond0ms sold for $1 in the restroom---there's an actual dispenser. Interesting, no? 3 for $9 specials on Thursday nights. Very fun and recommendable. It's definitely not a trendy, attractive, single's scene but it's an ideal place to hang out with buddies after work and to dance.

Pros: 3 for $9 Thursdays, parking, no cover, music

Cons: less than trendy crowd
