Vibe is lively and cozy. Cocktails are fantastic - the Trinidad Sour was my favorite.

Bartender Morgan is rude and lacks manners which is a shame since it’s such a lovely bar.

This may be a hot take but I think this is the best cocktail bar in the AA/Ypsi area. Huge cocktail menu that keeps you coming back. They do the classics well and have plenty of originals. Glassware is fantastic without all the frills of some of the other places. The wall memoribilia is also amazing.

Great atmosphere. Love the retro videos they show on the TV. Servers are very cool. Just a chill place to have a drink and enjoy the evening. Bonus that they are open until 2a all week.

There were no purple flowers or umbrellas in the Hawaiian cocktail. The glass was packed with ice. There was hardly any liquid. I expected more for $13. The flavor was good. I couldn’t taste any alcohol. They have a canned heat candle which looks nice but the smell interferes with the taste of the drink. They didn’t have menus. The drinks were on a board high up on the wall in the back corner. I like dim lighting in a bar but it was dark in there. Best thing about it was the 70’s rock music playing. The 3 employees were stoic. The place was busy. Would be an ok place to meet up for a beer. Don’t expect fancy Hawaiian cocktails.

One of my favorite bars in MI. Andy and Morgan make this place great!
The perfect little bar in the heart of Depot Town, Ypsilanti Michigan. Great service & amazing drinks! Whether you’re stopping in for a quick shot, or meeting up with a friend for drinks... the Wax Bar is the dive to dive in!

The place is cool to be in. I love the decor. I didnt like that they don't have a menu to read with descriptions of the drinks. The bartender just told us to ask him, but the place was busy and it seemed like I would be rude to ask a lot of questions. Just print menus if you're going to offer 50 drinks. Also, the Paloma I had was not good. It needed something. Not just the fact that it seemed to lack alcohol in it. We had 6 drinks between three of us. None of us were wowed, but we still had fun. It's a nice addition to Ypsi, and one of the better versions of businesses at this address. Plan on spending $30 on two drinks.

If you want draft beer, go somewhere else, though they do have a great beer selection. The drinks aren’t cheap, but they use quality ingredients (they juice daily), and still better priced than what you would find in A2 for the same quality. Bottom line: if you want great drinks and an amazing staff, this is your place. Best bar in Ypsi. Plus it’s always amusing to see how short Andy’s (the owner) shorts are in the summer.

The bartenders here are super sweet and attentive. The drinks are good, reasonably priced, and have tons of variety. There’s not a ton of seating, but if you can grab a table it’s very easy to spend a few hours here.
