The Annex Cocktail Lounge

Befitting its name, the Annex Cocktail Lounge was originally created as a space to handle overflow from the adjacent Tinderbox Kitchen not long after the restaurant opened in 2009 in Flagstaff’s historic Southside. “The Annex has since become its own destination for cocktails and small plates,” says Marquess, who prefers a seat at the bar to chat with the bartenders as they build an array of inventive, seasonal cocktails like the Tell-Tale Heart (vodka, sage, mint, lemon, stone fruit, and bubbles). “They have the most beautiful cocktails, but I’m also a sucker for their Grapefruit Shandy made with Mother Road’s Tower Station IPA, Desert Rain Gin, and fresh grapefruit juice, as it pairs perfectly with their famous Annex Burger.

Located on Flagstaff’s happening and historic south side, The Annex was originally meant as an overflow location for the adjacent (and very popular), Tinderbox Kitchen—however, it has since made a name for itself in the city’s cocktail scene. Known for its carefully created cocktail list that’s both inventive and thoughtful, The Annex is famed for its picture-perfect drinks and friendly bartenders that make guests feel right at home.
