Annie's Café
Annie's Café
Killarney, Ireland hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
Annie's is a small café featuring Starbucks products and other hot/cold beverages. If I'm not mistaken the restaurant opened in spring 2010 with the arrival of the "Europe in the Air" ride next door, but it may have opened during the previous season in 2009. It was originally part of the Turvey Manor Fun House, which opened in May 1975 when the area was Hastings. In the early 1980s it was converted to a coin-operated arcade, changing the name to Turvey Manor Arcade and also going by the Gamery. By the mid 1980s this portion of the arcade became a make-your-own recording studio, known originally as Sing-A-Song and later changed to The Court Composer; this lasted into the 1990s. When the area was converted to Killarney in May 2001 this space was used as an Anheuser-Busch BrewMaster's Club, which was a "beer school" experienced that offered free beer samples to those that signed up in advance. The club last operated in fall 2008.
