A classic beer bar with a nice atmosphere, jovial (but young) crowd, and genuinely friendly staff. Selection is outstanding but being a complete geek I struggled to find something I haven’t had. I went with a Shorts Pale ale and then a 4th Dementia. Seems the taps rotate very quickly. One bummer is the cigarette smoke, which gave me nic-fits the next morning.

Visited this place with the Ratebeer crew following the Michigan Brewer's Festival. Long list of beers on tap, with more in the bottle. Nothing too obscure or mind-blowing, but some good stuff nonetheless. Agree that the staff was friendly but a little slow. Had a good time, though.

Generic modern-looking ambiance, not unpleasant anyway. Wide selection, menu kept up to date, many taps and bottles for every taste and kind. Packed place, lots of students, rather loud crowd, but the good side is that all the beers were fresh. Pub food. Mostly efficient service condidering the crowd, plenty of Michigan beers, nice little samplers of draught offerings offered in packs. I didn’t expect much and was quite satisfied.

Outstanding bar in beautiful Ann Arbor. Lots of people here always. Decent sized bar, with lots of tables. Lots of taps. Lots of bottles, though the bottles are the Shelton brothers lineup that can be bought elsewhere. Bartenders are very knowledgeable about the beers and the craft beer scene. I heard it rumoured, and I did see staff sit down with people and help host little parties of people. Great little street with little groceries, Ben and Jerries, parking available. Mostly local Michigan stuff, but there were some good nationals as well, i.e. Southern Tier creme brullee. An ongoing craft beer party. The food is supposed to be very decent.

Easy to find location directly on State across from U of M. Street parking. Building is clean and orderly and lots of character. Bar on right and seating for food on left. Bar has large selection of taps of good local and national micros. Staff is freindly with good beer knowledge. Menu is apps, soups and sandwiches. I had the soup,very good. Good location, beer selection and food. Well worth the stop.

Medium sized pub on two floors with two bars. Judging by the crowd this is obviously the “cool” hang-out place in town as far as good beer selection is concerned. About 60 taps. Yes, yes 60 taps in Ann Arbor, that’s 6 x 10 taps. Of those 60 about 50 are regular taps (permanent on the beer menu) and 10 are rotating taps displayed on a board. The regular taps has about 25% of crappy macro and imported imported macro beers, 50% of standard American micros (Dogfish, etc.) and 25% of less common stuff. The 10 rotating taps were interesting. Up to three casks (but only two were plugged when I was there). Food menu is standard pub greasy food.

Stopped in on a rainy Sunday to catch the Bears game while in town on business. Place was mostly empty which was nice surprise. Deaftones playing on the jukebox. Bartender and fellow patrons were friendly and buffalo wrap I had was tasty. Found a rare Shorts wrap on tap and a couple of other tasty brews on tap. Kind a cross between an old college bar and beer destination. Best bar I have been to in Michigan and will try to make it back in before I leave town. Seems like they have quite a few beer events too.

Well, the heavy smoking going on in here really dampened the experience. Old worn-in looking place in a part of town where parking is tough to get and what is there seems to be all metered (at least that’s how it looks to an outsider like me). Worn in wood bar with brick walls and nice stained glass divider separating the front half from the back half. Nifty little bar, seating and foosball downstairs. Pretty small place but in no way is the draft selection small. They have the standard Michigan players like Bells, Founder’s, Arcadia, Darkhorse, Kuhnhenn and Dragonmead. They had Rogue Imperial Stout on Cask, YUMM. They have three cask selections and six nitro taps to go along with a couple dozen others. I love the 3L bottle of Stone’s 10th above the bar. Looks like they might be dusting it daily. It was straight out of the package clean. If you don’t mind choking on smoke while you enjoy their tasty selection then this place is well worth the effort of seeking out. I won’t be going back until MI changes the laws to "no smoking" in restaurants.

Small intimate pub with predominately college crowd. Beer selection is very good and fresh. The rotate the beers quite well and have a good selection of regional micros. I had a Bells Two hearted on cask. Yum. The one time I ate here, the pub grub was very good. Bar is very small, so try to hit this place on a slow night. One of my favorite (non-brewpub) beer joints in the country. Give it a try.

Overall, very impressive. The selection in the basement blows. I didn’t have any experience with the food. But, any place that hasthe selection they do on tap is awesome. I nearly lost control (but kept my composure). Some random beer drinker bought us our first round. Awesome!
