Best Gay Bar Ann Arbor Near Me

Mahin MUA: really rude staff. especially the bartenders & security.

julie harbert: The house cast is outstanding, bartenders are fantastic and all the staff is really great. Always a great time and a fun crowd. Special guests have been phenomenal.

Alec Wimpari: Great security, kind staff at bars and front. Love coming here on Friday for the LGBT events. Will be back ASAP

DJ Seoul Detroit: This was my favorite club when I was attending EMU and living in Ann Arbor. I recently came back to check it out and stayed all night. The amount of bars they had made it so that I wasn't ever waiting to get a drink even though it was packed. Red Room is my favorite place in the whole bar.

Mike Duggan: Worst club in the area? Unlike a lot of bars, you can’t leave and come back I wanted to go grab my insulin pen from the car and the security guard told me that I had to pay Another $20 to reenter. I’ll never come here again.

Lionel Mufor: I worked with the team for 2 years organizing events with our school club. Polite, professional and involved. Great experience with the staff and the club itself is very spacious and has a soothing atmosphere, good music and soft lights. Great spot

Cody Pinchot: Best goth night in the Detroit area outside of City Club!

Scott Mundo: If you're looking for where the people are on Friday nights, look no further then Necto. Pride Fridays are always buzzing with people on the upstairs and downstairs dance floors. Yes, I did say two dance floors! I've been going to Necto since last May and it's always been clean and the staff have always been so friendly! One time there were some guys that were following my girl friends and making them feel uncomfortable. I told a staff member and the situation was quickly handled. Necto is definitely a safe and inclusive place. My favorite place to be though is downstairs in the 'Red Room'. DigiMark, the DJ for the Red Room is always playing banger after banger that me and my friends love to dance to. I've also been blown away by how many events Necto has on Fridays! It feels like they're always bringing in special guests, having themed nights, and having lots of drag shows.Though there are things they can improve on, like providing water at a lower cost or for free. My friends and I always learned to drink a water bottle before coming in and we haven't really had any issues with thirst. It was just a little annoying the first time we came and had to find out the hard way. Other than that, if you haven't already. Check Necto out! Or if you have gone to Necto and it wasn't your vibe, try going on pride Fridays! Because it does make a difference. Anyways, Enjoy this picture of me and my bestie with DigiMark in the Red Room having the time of our lives!

Tosh Mckie: Necto is a really nice club and Friday nights always leave me feeling seen, appreciated, and safe, but music could be TEN times better and maybe switch up the DJs? Instead of the same DJ playing the same old boring songs from fifteen years ago. So many new queer artists who make DANCE music for DANCE clubs. I only go to necto for pride Fridays, but lately it’s lost the flare I like. Also the bartenders are always really great, bouncers and security is full of hot guys too♥️

Akbar Arsiwala: I had the pleasure of working with Nick and Scot to host a fundraiser for a mental health nonprofit. Not only were they accommodating, they provided the venue at cost so we could maximize our donation.On the day of the event, I had nothing but positive experiences with every staff member I met. We ended up exceeding our fundraising goal and got a lot of positive feedback from attendees.Overall, Necto is under incredible management and we'll definitely be back to host other events.

Fabian Gonzalo Barrero Florez: I was disrespected several times in this bar last night, I was drinking my beer quietly and I went to ask a worker where the bathroom was? At that moment he called another and took my bracelet without reason, so I decided to continue having some beers again these two characters arrived with more staff members as if I were a criminal without having done anything and they took me out without leaving me finishing my beers despite having paid for them. The worst bar I've been to in my life and where I was humiliated for no reason

Aisley Ellis: I was in Ann Arbour visiting for a weekend and went to Necto. I was glad that as someone under 21 could go in ( with cover and wrist band) and still enjoy the night life. The photographer Reno was AMAZING and captured the best pictures of us before the drag performance ( which was AMAZING). Most people gravitated to the outdoor area which left the dance floor bare and less energetic. it was hard to join people outside as the hallway leading outside was full and trickled with vomit. I also was very surprised and disappointed that cups of water were not free. Especially with the obvious amounts of under influenced guests, not providing water highly turned me off.

Nemo Bean: Your going to be sad when you don't have access to any food well you are here, not even a bag of chips. You want a bottle of water? That's $4 sir. Then the staff will continually walk by and stare into your soul for no reason other than intimidation. The dj's play the worst music. They also started basically strip searching every person walking into the door now so get ready to spread em! What an uninviting environment.

Omar Elsahn: Best club I have been to.

Alexandria Drwal: the music prior to midnight was pretty good. idk what happened after midnight because it turned into 2012 type music and the people there were kinda rude(patrons not staff). maybe just the area but it wasn’t a completely terrible experience i just personally wouldn’t come back. 2 drinks were $40 also

Xyborder: I love this place

Jenn T (Jennthomas06): Factory Monday nights are amazing! Fewer people than the weekend crowd, great music and dj's- alternative, edm, and more.

Sofia Nava: I always have the best time with my friends! Last time I went I lost my ID and was able to get it back the next day. They are super attentive and friendly

Heather Beadles: It's been almost 15 years since a Factory night for us, so we weren't sure what to expect...But oh dear, such lovely beats to stomp to and such wonderful floors on which to stomp upon; we were not disappointed. 😊🖤

Joseph Ferullo: I will never be back to this “establishment”and I’m going to make sure everyone I know is aware of what actually goes on at “Necto”especially after reading one specific review before leaving this review! It sure seems like that one of your male bouncers has a problem staying out of the WOMENS restroom, I had a friend go last night and while using the restroom, she saw a male “employee” peeking thru the restroom stalls! This really goes to show that you do not take any complaint’s serious if this is still happening, and all the other stuff that isn’t properly resolved in the end that you keep on getting bad reviews for lol!

Ma FeelMe (ANGELINA): Stay hip

Eric VanDeventer: This place is great! Mike at the door is super friendly and nice. I also miss the girl who did cover and always wore a mask, I hope she comes back.

Terry Garza: Love the Geezer Happy Hour. Definitely will be back.

Christian Dean: A man with a goose that shot fire almost burned my face off but for $5 it was worth it.

Pinkey Lam: I absolutely love LIVE Ann Arbor so much! The music is great, the DJ definitely knows what he's doing. Mike, the bouncer is one of the nicest and best people there. He always greets us with the best smile and is super friendly. Live would not be the same without him. I also love the coat check lady. She works so hard and even checked up on me in the bathroom. My friends and I all love this place

mike ebbert: Exceptional bar staff, and vibe. One of the best bars in Ann arbor.

Marilynn Thomas: Geezer happy hour! Great music. Saw so many of my friends there.

Jacob Mayer: Screw this place. Go somewhere else.

Andreas: Nice Club, gets crowded at around 11 pm ish

Brandy Muzzy: Woulda been a little better if the bouncer in the orange wasn’t letting random people cut the line because they were friends. Literally watched him let in SEVEN PEOPLE after they asked if he could make an exception bc they were buddies. Like?? Naur.Atmosphere was fun, all other workers were fun besides him. Great music and really clean bathrooms ??? Actually shocked to have clean bathrooms in a club! It’s nice to see security walking around too. Great bartender.

Alexandra Touchstone: Best bar in Ann Arbor

Noah Walker: The music selection needs a major upgrade. I get bored easily when it’s only top 40 music playing that’s not even that good.

Troy D: Went here with some friends for the first time. Super rude bartender named Hannah begged for tips and was just really rude to me for no reason. She also seemed drunk behind the bar. Won’t be going back bc of her.

Natalie GRUBBS: Just had bottle service with VIP booth for a birthday party. Wow!!!! Mike made it easy and very helpful to book. I requested a few things and he made it all happen. Club was packed which I was concerned with faster horses, art fair fair, and no classes because it’s summer at U of M. Had a blast. I highly recommend having your next party here!!!!!

Rayna Longo: I got two lemon drop shots and it was $29. WHAT THE HECK! COMPLETE RIP OFF

Chiren Moore: It seems they haven’t dusted the ceilings in years. This is all falling in your drinks. In addition, I asked the bartender for an old fashioned, and she was rude, saying “we don’t really do old fashioneds.” It’s the oldest drink in America. What are all the bottles for, then? They make their money off of Gin and tonics, vodka sodas, and beer. I wouldn’t call this place a “bar” and I would steer clear.

Josh Colina: I keep forgetting my card here 😐

Julian Tabron: Better than ricks and Necto tbh

Andrew Hulett: This place used to be decent, but the DJing is out of control... and not in a good way. The DJ plays the same outdated tracks every Saturday and refuses to let any actual beat drop.. instead turning it into some bizarre house mix. It's not 2008 anymore.

Paolo Mutia: Medusa is a great DJ hands down
