14 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“

“What a great place. The vibes. THE MUSIC. The drinks. The snackies. And the best service from Vu and Landon. And also, can someone tell me what the artwork is?! (PS - drinks were so pretty but we had such a good time forgot to take pictures!)“

“Excellent atmosphere, had a seat at the bar and tried the family estate rye whisky for the first time, which was excellent. Bartender was prompt and attentive, and my small plates were great accompaniment.

Fried old bay chickpeas - quantity was a large and pleasant surprise, though each individual bean was a little small. Flavor and crunch were nice, never tried putting old bay on my chickpeas before, but definitely too much salt on these, which was a pity. Still a good drinking accompaniment though, and surprisingly addictive.

Prosciutto - orange cantaloupe and blackberries were pleasant alongside prosciutto wrapped around the melon slices, and balsamic glaze went very well. I think the honey tilted the dish a little too sweet though, the fruit was sweet enough. Some nuts or a bit of citrus might have been good instead.

Jupiter and Mars cocktail - a little disappointed by this one, was expecting a more spice forward drink, but the spice was more of an aside to the tequila and sweetness.“

“Mark is incredibly hospitable. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Lighting sets the mood. Lots of laughs and plenty of good company paired with table-side entertainment. Would recommend to anyone looking for anything from a casual date to a business meeting. Thanks guys will be back soon!“

“My husband and I were so happy to hear that the Nest was open again, this was our favorite spot a year ago.

Same great atmosphere we remember, just wish they had in house chefs. We were jonesing for locally sourced ingredients with a fine dining, home cooked meal touch and that wasn’t what we experienced with the new menu.

Bring back the previous chefs, please!! 🙏🏻“

“Enjoyed a couple drinks while listening to the DJ. Drinks were yummy, bathrooms clean too. I liked the exposed brick and small alcoves with tables. There was a small cover ($5 I think?) I parked in the garage across the street, staff were very friendly and helpful when making drink choices.“

“Had a fantastic time at The Ravens Club this past weekend! The speakeasy atmosphere is spot-on, and the craft cocktails are consistently excellent. The menu of American small plates is delicious, and you can really tell the owner cares deeply about the guests and the business. To top it off, the entire staff is absolutely amazing; So attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“the drinks were amazing, the bartender knew what she was talking about and was so so so friendly!! Then there was the food..... 100/10 would recommend! We had the tempura cali roll and it was perfect! Do yourself a favor and go here!!!“

“Easily the best restaurant in all of Ann Arbor. Ingredients are actually legit as in fresh and authentic, none of that frozen, microwaved garbage other fancy diners even get away with. everything is legit“

“Thanks for taking care of us today! Amazing food and hospitality!“

“A very popular location, good luck getting a seat if you arrive later in the night. They move the line for drinks along incredibly fast, don't be intimidated. Prices are quite reasonable for a nice draft beer. Young and energetic scene but some of everything in the crowd. Good beer, make some friends due to close proximity.“

“We had a great birthday meal with my daughter. Elijah, Jake, and Dylan all made our experience there exceptional. Drinks were out of this world as was the food and the service. Loved every minute of it!“

“I came from out of town and ordered the Miso Sea Bass. Literally the BEST fish I have ever eaten in my entire life!!! Cannot talk it up enough! Sooo worth the drive to get some of that!“
