ANNEX
The Lower East Side is getting instilled with a dose of frat boy debauchery.
With the opening of the Doghouse Saloon at 152 Orchard St., a new era in the LES began; one of grown men chucking balls into cups, (beer pong players beware the swine flu) eating free hotdogs all-night-every-night, and drinking oversized cocktails served by waitresses in bikinis. And all this in a dive bar with skeeball, 10 TV’s, and cheap shots galore.
Taking over the spot formerly occupied by the ill-reputed Annex, the one-time concert venue has transitioned into a wood-paneled watering hole. There is a hint of clubby-ness in this saloon though: the basement has been refurbished into Cloak, a bar/lounge with a more upscale feel, its own doorman, and an amber glow inviting trouble in the dark.
