13 Best Cocktail Bars near Dexter

“Sat outside, great night. Food and service were good and then hung out on the outdoor couches and listened to the live music“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting — perfect for a relaxed evening out. What really made the night special, though, was Jordan. They went above and beyond with personalized drink recommendations that matched each of our tastes perfectly. Every cocktail was spot-on — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented.

It’s rare to find a place where you feel both welcomed and truly looked after, but Nightcap nails it. Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just out for a good time, this is definitely the spot. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The Last Word is, without a doubt, one of Ann Arbor's top destinations for serious cocktails. This place offers a dark, cozy, and sophisticated atmosphere that makes it perfect for intimate conversation and savoring expertly crafted drinks. They truly excel at classic cocktails, and their namesake drink, The Last Word, is perfection every single time—balanced, complex, and refreshing. I also absolutely love their Islay Sour—the scotch drink made with Laphroaig and egg whites. That smoky, frothy creation is the reason I keep coming back“

“Neat little spot. 5 dollar cover. Had a speakeasy underground vibe to it. Bartender was super nice. It turns into like a dance club at night, which was stupid. I had absinthe the real way and really enjoyed that and it was only like 9 bucks. The drinks were super affordable.“

“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.“

“I drove 30 minutes in the snow and it was worth it. The host (young man) at the door was super accommodating. The wait staff was top notch, food and drinks were delicious and the live music this Sunday was perfect. I will definitely be coming back soon. Great job!!!“
