Tanvi: Atmosphere: 5/5More
Chuck Venditto: Great spot, great karaoke Thursdays!
Heather G: This is what LIVE wishes it could be
Steve Searl: Great vibe
Thulani Moyo: New DJ blew it out of its space
sarah: Justina and Lauren were amazing! They took good care of us. It was our first time in and we felt so welcomed. We’ll be back for sure!!! Come check them out. The vibes were immaculate!
Joshua Polaczyk: Cute little basement bar with a simple drink/beer menu and cool neon signs. Love the dragon over the bar. Check it out if you want chill vibes and don’t care too much about the drink choices.
Joseph Livermore: Exuberant
Steven Fields: Always a good time! Drinks are kind of pricey, but it's downtown so that's expected, staff is really nice and attentive.
Tara Turner: Very cool vibe! Love the neon, music was great:) Easy to walk up and get a drink. Definitely check them out for a fun Friday or Saturday night out!
Michigan RoadRunner: Most eclectic place i've ever seen. Music selection could be better
Marcus A: Love Lo-Fi!
Meg Lorencen: I love this bar so much. The neon lights? 🏻 🏻 🏻
Zach Bell: UPDATE: Lofi management took the time to review video and identify the fraudsters for our Credit Card Company to pursue. These guys truly CARE about their Customers and we look forward to visiting next time we're in Ann Arbor. Well done!BEWARE - had several bogus charges from this bar - they apparently support criminal use of stolen cards by not requiring a physical card or checking Identification.
Realtalk 4eva: I must mention, I have been to this place three times, and only one time could I dance to the music. I like dance music, and today's dance music and this club was not it two of the three times I have been there. I went last Friday, and they had some type of rock thing, ugh, IDK, some weird music. I came in, no cover charge, and had one drink, hoping that the music would change, but you could tell it was not happenin. I left after my one drink. It has been the same two of the times, terrible music. I keep tryin with this bar in hopes of being able to dance because I have been there when the music was on point, like frfr...EDM, Diplo stuff and a combo of it all, but most nights, blah! Nice bar inside, has so much potential to be so packed!
Ryan Wright: Solid music scene. Douchey tall guys
MH W: Friendly responsive bartenders, good tunes, no cover! how else would you spend Black Friday?
Jase Joshua (MauiPlayz): Dope spot
Steven Hensel: This is the kinda place you can wander into any night they're open and have a good time. Lots of dancing, solid karaoke.
Pamela AA: Went there with a group for the first time a couple weeks ago and they had an amazing DJ (mixing disco 70s with new hits), we were dacing all night.Their closing time is later than most of the bars around.
Cara Noelle: Nice little bar, good drinks and overall good time.

The Habitat: what do users think?
James Bransford: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
McKenzie Coburn: Chicken sandwich is superb. Awesomeeee old fashions. Amazing ambiance that feels upscale and casual at the same time. Live jazz = heck yes!!!
Patrick Koehn: Part of the Weber's Hotel, an extension of the restaraunt. Fantastic service, really good food. Even the iced tea was great - most places outside of the South get it wrong, so kudos to them!
Jeremy Yoder: I liked the atmosphere, the service was good, and the food was great. My steak was a little overcooked, but hopefully that was a fluke. Will be going back.
Nisreen Saadi: Food and music are good.Service was less than average. We got there and had to wait long before someone answered to us, although place wasn’t that full. You do feel ignored.When we were standing at the middle entrance of the bar, the waitress Olivia came and rudely asked us to move saying we can’t stay there as trays come and go (not true) and cutting us off while trying to ask for a table. She was continuously focusing on moving us out of there and saying everything is at the hostess outside…the hostess of the adjacent restaurant so irrelevant and unclear for the clients. We go out our names at the restaurant entrance and ask if we can sit at the bar wait while a table clears up. They say if we sit at the bar we lose our table reservation!! We had to sit outside in the middle of nowhere and they put a red rope to ensure we don’t stand at the entrance!!When we sat and ordered, I asked for strawberry daiquiri, she said the blender is broken…and I asked for other cocktails she said the blender is broken and didn’t make other suggestions so I ended up just water.Anyway, we came for my husband birthday and unfortunately we didn’t have a good evening as the waitress OLivia set off the mood.
Gary Bushong: Good everything!!
Michael Christensen: Fantastic jazz here on Friday and Saturdays. There is reservation only areas and first come first serve. All the food we had was great and lots of drink/dessert options. Would come back forsure!
Cedric Grady: We stayed at the hotel and didn't feel like hitting the town so we went here because it was connected. Nice atmosphere, the waiter was good, the food was ok it is a bit overpriced.
Thais Anne Peterson: Stopped for dinner Thanksgiving day. We really enjoyed being able to order from the regular menu instead of having turkey as our only option. Best French dip I've had in a long time. Great service despite big crowd.
Kenyetta Williams: Very nice place. Great atmosphere
Vince LaRosa: Two of us ate there. WE ordered oysters, 2 steamed Lobster, including steamed shrimp. When we left we each had leftover food.The waitress took it to the back and mixed both our orders in two containers which each container contained some of the other's food. Food was pretty good, but not compared in no way with my previous visits.
Daryl Freese: Great drinks and food! Sorry about that. Thought I had selected 5. Was delicious and will be back for sure!
Holly Davison: Loved the jazz band that was there the night we were there, the bartender was great! Enjoyed the engery here. Looking forward to going back and maybe even stay in the hotel next time.
DNNY O: Jazz on Fridays on Saturdays starting at 9pm is very vibey! No cover charge but first come first serve. Drinks are strong but pricey. Can also get steaks or other snacks.
Lutitia Crawford: Great Food ,Nice Dance Floor , Great PeopleMusic is a good mix and the Live Bands are. Amazing
Trooper Long: The Habitat serves up delicious food in a warm friendly environment. I enjoy the happy hour specials and the live jazz ensemble featured weekly. My favorite cocktails there are the Manhattan and the Negroni, but there is a full menu of wine and beer and spirits. The menu here is separate from, and smaller than that of Weber’s proper. This is one of my favorite spots for a burger, too!
Robert Guysky (BBQ_BOB): Outstanding food. Webers Habitat is an excellent venue for music as well. The renovation of each room, and the pool/play area is superb. Can't wait for more artists to resume playing live.
Bill Williams: Wonderful food. Our server Erian was the best.
Randy M.: This bar is an extension of Webbers Hotel. The wife and I love the hotel and the restaurant and decided to come in for some drinks and food/appetizers. I loved the atmosphere, the wait staff was great, and, of course, the food was top notch A#1. Most importantly, live entertainment and dance floor on some nights.
L S: Amazing service! French onion soup was amazing! Prime rib (medium rare) was out of this world delicious! And you can't beat a loaded bake potato! Would definitely go again! Price for 3 without drinks ran about $100 without tip (each having an app or salad and main entree which included lobster, the prime rib and the market price fish!)
Matthew Hierholzer: This place is the Bees Knees

The Blind Pig: what do users think?
Steve B: This place was awesome. Extremely affordable place to drink off the radar. They have the perfect grungeband basement.
Official YoungLink: Amazing Venue with two bars, one Down stairs and the other on the Ground Floor. Both offer great and strong drinks at a great price! The show was amazing and highly suggest coming here for a great night! Very well ventilated as well!
Will K: Great show featuring The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die.
Katie Hammond: This old place
aubrey allen: Went to Ann Arbor to see 38 Spesh and he killed it. Great show, superb lyricism and showmanship. I got to see some Detroit and Chi-town Legends in the building too. Shout Bizarre and Big T!!!
Alice Fox: I have had nothing but great memories from this place. It is a great spot so is the 8 ball underneath
Gregory Brandon: Great venue for live music
joie fuertez: Do not come here. I had a terrible experience with the service this place provides.
Cathy Morris: We had a great time here watching a Grateful Dead cover band. It's a really cool venue. There's a completely separate bar area in the basement.
Emma Huber: Was touched without consent by a performer. Was then treated extremely aggressively by staff (which after reading reviews seems like a common experience). I hate to leave this review cause I appreciate this venue a lot, but felt extremely unsafe despite being in a group. Especially young women, I would only go here for big events with a crowd. Had no problems when I was here for a bigger event. Left in tears at a small one.
Jeff B.: One of the best places small clubs to see a show at. I don't know where else you can go to see the caliber of bands they have and still be able to buy a beer for $5.
Adam Eldridge: Amazing place amazing people
Joel Watson: Really fun venue, good sound quality overall, and a really nice selection of drinks at very reasonable prices.
Mark Howie: Live venue. Doors opened at 7:00. Place filled up to point you couldn’t move. At 8:10 still no one on stage. Seems it could be a touch more organized.
Tracy Koenn: Rude bouncers and staff.
Michael Croteau: shadow of it's former self. employees are just awful. pipes leak on you. used to love this place. very sad
Pia Lombardi: LARGE venue bar upstairs and down . Beautiful murals along the right side. Safe neighborhood. Very clean. Fast service even when busy. Saw King Buffalo and a few other bands there . Highly recommend this place
Dawn McAfee: Had a blast, Jalen Frazier had it lit af!
Nick Szczechowski: If those walls could talk...J. Mascis...Nirvana and Pearl Jam played there before they blew up
Kris Thomas: This place slaps......Hard
Rob Traviss: Went there for a story slam after dinner. Loved it. Small venue, we were close to stage. No problem in or out. Large parking lot across the street.

Mash: what do users think?
Lisa Lindenfelser: Great bourbon selection and really cool underground vibes.
Jordan Lam: Live music, good vibes, friendly staff.
BrentB W: Good drinks, fun atmosphere and great band. Wish I could remember their name.
Behdad: Poor customer service at the front door.
Noah Reed: Such a fun time, we went for NYE and it was busy but the live music was amazing and such a good vibe, the drinks were decent and reasonably priced but it's really great if you just want to have a good time and listen to music and jam a bit!
Dmitry K: Awesome dancing atmosphere with a live band!
Jacob Hare: Its a great place for drinks and watching live bands. The atmosphere is great and the drinks are good for the price. The only caveat is that I would not order any cocktails that are not from their cocktail menu. The bartenders did not do a good job making any cocktail not on the menu.
Tim Farrell: Great underground bar. Excellent bourbon cocktails made by knowledgeable and friendly bartender.
Michael Parr: Fantastic bar, great clientele, great whiskey selection, great love music. 10/10 would go again.
Robert Davis: Love this place. Spacious basement and good drinks!
Jacob Khakshouri: Great cozy bar with live music for college students....
Arshon Saadati: Bartenders are absolute buffoons. Never waited so long for a drink in my life. After standing at the bar for 10+ minutes I waved the bartender over and was greeted with a “**** off”.Come here if you wanna see some goons on a power trip
Camille Hudson: Good bar burger, conscientious waitstaff
Joyce Patterson: Come for the great music, but if you're hoping to get your drink on, don't plan to stay long. The bar is packed, but so many people without a drink! There are no more servers, there's a line that the bartenders don't respect. So you wait long, get mad, and want to start fights. The bartenders are overwhelmed, and even yell at the guests! I was ready to spend, but could only get 3 drinks 2 hours.
Jordan Huey: Great place on weekends especially during the summer when the students are gone. Live music on weekends and a great selection.
Grace Su Ming: Variety of at home brewed beer, live music on some nights, places to sit and stand, I love the vibe, bathrooms were clean and had toilet paper, prices are on par we paid $12 for 2 pints of beer
Rust Belt Angler: Awesome atmosphere! Definitely have the “Smoke and Oak” you won’t be sorry.
Christopher Finelli: Great beer, cocktails, liquors, and live music. Great place to chill in An Arbor.
Bobby Williams: A wonderful night out in a beautiful atmosphere courtesy wonderful staff
Aleksandar Siljanovski: I have never been so disrespected by a bartender in my entire life. I ordered 5 drinks, got 2, was told to wait for more glasses. Explained that they could use any glass, like the the ones I could visibly see, but was told to **** off by the bartender. I moved to the other side of the bar, spoke to the manager, they responded with excuses. The other 3 drinks were free, however time and respect are worth more to me. I'm extremely disappointed. I've never been treated this way at a bar.The bartender was the only guy with a beard. Get rid of him. Or at least tell him to be a man and make eye contact when he uses that type of language.
C “C”: Great live music
