Sad news to report today on Friday the 13th from All Shook Down: Annie’s Social Club will be closing her doors on New Years Eve for good. The announcement was originally posted via E-mail to the ever-popular SF Indie List:

Subject: This Weekend at Annie’s Social Club, plus some sad news…

We hate to do this, but there is some sad news we feel its better to deliver directly than to let the rumor mill speculate and distort. After almost four years of bringing you live entertainment, karaoke, booze, and good times, Annie’s Social Club is closing its doors NEW YEARS EVE. We have had a blast partying with you these past few years and will miss each and every one of you, and want to give you enough notice that you can come down at least one more time to have a drink, catch a show, and say hi to us, as, well, you are part of our family…

And, we are not going out silently into that good night, but instead will be raging and partying through the end, so come down, throw some money at us, have a drink, bang your head, lose your voice singing karaoke, and celebrate not mourn…

Over the course of Annie’s nearly four year history The Bay Bridged has been fortunate to see some great shows, review them for the site, and we’ve even had the pleasure of interviewing a few bands in their back room before it turned into Punk Rock Karaoke for the evening. We’re sad to see yet another venue close it’s doors in San Francisco…
