Drinks & Nightlife
Legends Annex is a laid back bar to eat lunch at during the day or order for pickup (I highly recommend their chicken quesadillas). It is also fun to visit at night, especially on the weekend. There are tables and chairs outside where you can relax. They also have life size jenga and cornhole/bean bag toss games you are welcome to play with. This place is only 1.2 miles from my home!
