The atmosphere of this place really took me a minute to digest. The brick and stones invoke a cellar or damp basement but a barkeep named Don quickly turned this into a warm and inviting perspective. He told me stories about the Mets (his favorite team) and New York! I couldn’t imagine hiring my a better bartender than Don!

Came here because someone told me this is the only establishment in Ann Arbor with an eight foot tall Don. Instead I found that, on this night, there were eight one foot tall Dons. The night was great but would appreciate posting a schedule for when eight foot tall Don will be there.

They don’t have food. Bring your own food. All good

Service was solid, with the server delivering our order within a minute after using the QR code. Enjoyed the game in their patio that was warm thanks to the heating eliminate. Overall the bar was ok in my opinion. Something with the atmosphere vibe clash. Maybe the modern look, mixed with a sports bar balance threw me off?

Has a good collection of beers and is super tasty. But inside the room there’s a strong (bad) smell of some kind of detergent… kinda ruining the vibe. But sitting outside enjoying beer is really nice.

Often come here to people watch. Great selection from fruits to IPAs and efficient service whether with the table qr code or at the bar inside. Can get a bit loud inside and when it's hopping there's little seating (not a bad problem for a business to have..) Appreciate heated covered seating in the tent and lamps by tables.
