6 Best Beer Bars near Ann Arbor

“I'm going to have to keep this short as I have a endless supply of kind words about Hidden King. This place is the definition of hidden gem. The service was absolutely amazing, the inside looks like you're traveling into this super secret club with games at every table. Mark (the owner) is such a chill guy to talk to and very much approachable along with the rest of the staff. The drinks are also absolutely amazing. They have a bunch of creative spins to all of their drinks. If you also don't want to drink they have an assortment of teahaus teas that you can grab too. This place is just such a hidden gem and such a cool place to be.

10/10 - I tell everyone that would listen about Hidden King and how awesome it is.“

“Good place to eat and get a beer. Anthony was our server and did a good job. My artichoke dip came out without the dip but Anthony quickly fixed it. And it was really good. The girl at the door seating everyone seemed really odd. I told her we needed two seats. She grabbed the menues and silverware. We followed her to our table. She put the items on the table and left without saying a single word to us. I usually expect them to say follow me or tell me who will be our server. She didn’t say a word. Seemed mad. But it is a beer and burger place. Maybe I expect too much of people.“

“Amazing service! Maddie M. was our server and got all our food ordered correctly and it quickly came out. Food was extremely well done and she continued to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back! :)“

“Friendly, Fun, and enjoyed the selection of drinks.“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“Slows now inhabits what used to be Blue Tractor's... which was nice... but out of the 14yrs I've lived in Ann Arbor, I only visited 3x and once was because a friend asked for it. It wasn't bad... but it didn't stand out, like now it does as Slows. The food REALLY stands out... the only thing keeping this place from putting Satchel's out of business is how tender they make the meat... it's definitely not bad but not quite as tender as Satchel's. The overall taste and tenderness is on par with your typical popular Texan BBQ restaurants, but up North. The BBQ sauce collection is really nice... the flavor is dead on, though I wish sauce like the North Carolina one would be a little thicker... but the flavor is fantastic! The thing that really makes this place stand out is hands down the sides! This place has sides literally like nowhere else. Between my wife and I we got 4 sides combined and I can't even explain how good all of them are! It's literally an order of magnitude above the second best sides I've ever had in all the BBQ restaurants I've ever been in. We're talking about the green beans to the mashed sweet potato... I really can't imagine how they can make all their sides that good. I'm definitely coming back to experience all the other sides. I can definitely tell the people behind the kitchen absolutely put all their soul into making this place unique and amazing... so if you are reading this: just give those meat a tad more time... thicken up those BBQ sauces and you guys will become unstoppable!“
