Looking like a Laurence Llewelyn Bowen interpretation of the Mos Eisley Cantina, and attracting patrons who wouldn't look out of place in a Star Wars movie, Anexo cuts a unique figure amongst the bars of Farringdon.

On an average Friday night, Anexo is like a gaudy purgatory for failed estate agents having one last sleaze before an eternity of fiery damnation. Cocktails are served thick and fast, with the highly skilled bar staff taking a mere 20 minutes to prepare 4 drinks.

It's not just Screwdrivers and 'dutty wining' though, a delectable variety of 'food' is available from a menu which appears to have been inspired by the waxy photographs of meat in Kebab shop windows.

The quiz machine in the corner offers the patrons a modest chance at self improvement, but alas, Anexo is not a place for aspirations, more a vacuum of sentience.

In all fairness though, if you like venues with good transport links, add an extra star to the above review.

Groupon deal allegedly worth £47.50. Bland food, couldn't order from half of the menu. Over cooked meatballs, potatos added to meat dishes so they could scrimp on the meat. Bravas sauce resembelled cheap ketchup. Generally grubby. Cheeky £5.94 service charge added to the bill despite the deal. Best thing about this restaurant nice sinks!!

Well 4 things! The menu was dirty and table was sticky, i told staff about this and just blanked me. The chef appeared from the kitchen to use toilet and didnt wash hands (my friend was in bathroom at same time) Next the food was shocking Meat was like rubber and was cold had to send food away. I wanted to complain to manager about this and was told to shut up we dont need your business!!!! i asked for my bill and extra drinks had appeared on Bill. Would not recommended!!!!

We have been to Anexo the other day and the food was absolutely gorgeous, we started with some olives and a plate of nachos, followed by some delicious Chicken Fajitas accompanied a lovely red Spanish wine, We would definitely go back to Anexo.

I will not come back here again! The menus where very sticky it was disgusting and some pages where stuck together.

The food was very boring and bland.
It was supposedly half price for it was a Monday. When we went to pay the waitress said it was full price, we asked is it not half price for there was a sign outside that we saw, which made us come that Mondays was half price, she said it is only on lunch. The sign clearly does not state that!

So to pay full price, it was not worth it!

So awful that we could not even book a table! We finally got through after leaving 4 messages to say they only serve food till 7 and we should call at 6 to book a table. I can see the 'For Rent' signs out the front already!

If you’re bored of pub companies then the indepentenly owned Anexo is the ideal antidote, offering quality food with a laid back spanish atmosphere.

The staff are extremely friendly and will always go the extra mile, the charm shines through the fixtures and fittings and soon wins you over.

I went for lunch this saturday in Anexo and was very impressed.

I had paella mixta and a impressive chorizo sliced sausages cooked in a red wine sauce all served by a wonderful waiter, very profesional and funny.

Anexo do some super tapas and the best thing is on Monday’s they do a 2-4-1 deal. Both the chorizo and patatas bravas were spot on, and the atmosphere was really fun. I’d definitely recommend Anexo for groups, as the small dishes are great for sharing and they have live sport and DJs for entertainment purposes.

Anexo is a great tapas bar close to Farringdon station. When I went here last month I had a selection of enjoyable dishes and even more enjoyable cocktails. I thought the waitresses were very friendly and helpful which helped an already pleasant evening. Anexo also has a balcony bar where we could enjoy more cocktails before attempting to burn off some of those calories on the dancefloor.
