Best Lounge Ann Arbor Near Me

Samuel Nelson: One of my favorite haunts, literal cozy cheers type bar must add to your bar crawl!

Z: great drinks great bar

Sam Koussan: Great place, went for the first time to hang out with some friends and coworkers. Had a very drinks and shot some pool. I would go again for sure.

Alexandra Touchstone: Love it hear but it’s way too crowded on the weekends and you can barely get a drink

Daniel Salas-Escabillas: Place was okay. Drinks are kinda watered down and although it's meant to be a speak easy, it's pretty rowdy. Also the line to get drinks is horrendous. I recommend tipping well if you want stronger drinks and quick service. There's pool but dudes kind of high the table and don't follow the quarter rule.

Ankit Singh: 🍹

Vazir Fatehi: Nice ambience, fast pace drinks serve and great staff. The crowds come in late so if you're in early there's no wait line 👍🏻

Lawrence Reeves: Fun lowkey spot, Crystal was pretty mid at her job, just kidding she was fantastic!

Steven Fields: 2 large pool tables, a shuffle board, huge bar, low lights, with good music! Bartenders are on point with the drinks, definitely one of my favorite places in town!

Meg Daniels: Looks like you're walking into an office then all of a sudden you're in a dim lit underground bar. Simply dope.

Rudraj Koppikar: Good prices for better drinks. Can get stuffy when its at capacity and there's limited seating.

Riley Noble: Didn’t let us in even though we’re 22 and didn’t even check our ids. The bouncer was a horrible person.

Dustin M: Very small and crowded.

Eddie Jung: Best bar in Ann Arbor! The vibes are great and the bartenders are even better. Love bringing all my friends here

Leah Hunter: Horrible experience and service. Short black bartender with dreadlocks was rude. He messed up our drinks and didn’t even refund us or make new drinks. $45 we’re talking about here… goes back and forth with him and tells me he’s packing a firearm? Had to call police. Horrible. Who threatens someone with a gun just for a refund.

Blaine Lewis: Very over crowded based on the # of bartenders and servers. # of people in the building far exceeded fire code. Not sure the value of cramming so many people into the place that it causes bad service

Eric Krall: Great atmosphere for drinks and socializing

Tara Turner: Not a good experience, racist bartender:(Came in with a group of friends and went to the bar to order a drink. After standing in line to order the bartender asked the people in line behind me what they wanted (group of white males). There were very few black people in this bar. I let the bartender know that I was in front of the group and he was very nasty. He leaned in and let me know that he did see me, but that I would have to wait to order. The bartender was a white male as well. Maybe this place is good for certain kind of people, but not so much if your brown. Never got a drink... Thumbs down on bab's underground!

Tony Nelson: Prices were very expensive. It crazy crowded but it was fine.

maddy willis: Dark and moody atmosphere! I like that there are 2 pool tables and thr drinks are great

Cecil Schinco: It was a fulfilling experience.Our bartender server and staff was on point.We were in the middle of a chic library space trying to solve generational language and discovery.So that one star unseenIs me.Collapsing into a grateful blackhole.Or being an elitist on accident.I had Cacio e pepeAll i make is spaghetti.Al dente like to the fang.If they married pasta water to itBravo.Ps. You don't have to graduate to check it out.Thats the best part. 👌But your attitude is 95 the experience.Dont be a critic.

KT McBride: Used to be a really nice spot for happy hour, but they recently took out the pool table and now only the beer special is the pilsner. Probably won't be coming back

C E: I used to love this joint for happy hour but they just removed their pool table along with their biggest draw :( now I'm off to other places since the table was 90% of the reason we frequented in the first place. Also HH is only for the pilsner now so .... yeah....

Laura Brownstead: Fantastic, knowledgeable bartender with good recommendations and flavorful drinks. Good atmosphere with lots of seating and a pool table!

Dennis: The music was wack.

Chris G: Great drinks mixed correctly. Bartender was friendly and helpful!

Karl Upman: Ended a night here after celebrating an engagement and was pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable and welcoming our bartender was. I don't think we had another experience like the one Alejandro (forgive me if I butchered his name .. was a long night haha) gave us. If he's there ask for something custom and be ready to be impressed

Mat Ducharme: Staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable!!!

Brian Rutherford: Only stopped in for a couple beverages. The staff were great and Friendly. Thank you Kayla and Kadie.

Bruce Geffen: Not too bad for food and drink.

Gusalyo: Nice

Maggie Gilbert: He did an awsome job

Wesley Hedden: Shawna is the best!! And I would give her five stars all day but the reason there is only 1 star review is because of tenya she is super rude

Chris Lathery: I’m only giving 1 STAR on the night that TANYA is here....we were in town for the UA and she was extremely rude and unwelcoming....but I will say we came back on Tuesday and SHAWNA, is amazinggggg. She treated us VERY well. If it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t be coming back!!!!!!!!

Iris Rodriguez: Muy bueno!

Andrew McDonald: Came with friends to enjoy the patio on a fine summer evening. The local beer with good and the food options were enjoyable too!

Adrian Roselli: Came down from hotel right before closing. Only got the tomato / onion / burrata salad (a bit heavy on the balsamic, but good). The complimentary bread was a nice touch. Service was good considering I came in at the end of the night.

Phillip Park: Nice Michigan theme - great food

Kasey Kohn: This restaurant has a genuine old charm to it, while beng exceptionally clean and new. Nicely upholstered booths and chairs, oil lamps at each table, artwork on every wall. The lighting is dim and romantic. The staff was very nice. We had the french fried shrimp and the 9oz filet. All were very good portions and were quality products. Even the bread brought to the table was warm, soft, and was seemingly homemade. Very good experience. We will be back.Update as of 6.12.17 - returned for dinner for a second time. Found an entirely different staff than the first visit, but to be fair there was only ever one staff member we saw during our first visit.The staff are very green, experienced a number of problems during our visit, and generally it was not a great experience. The ambience is still great, but I found the manager to be somewhat awkward in her social skills, our waiter was nice, but probably had too many tables for his experience level, he didn't check in much, my order was brought out incorrectly and I was told by the waiter the kitchen messed up, when the corrected order was brought the kitchen said the waiter messed up and my bill would be adjusted, my bill showed up and the adjustment was not made, I had to wait while that was corrected, in the meantime I was brought out a creme brule to find it had no actual bruled sugar on top, and finally when I asked to have my parking validated at the hostess stand... They stamped my parking ticket, but the valet still charges you for your parking (unlike any other validation I have previously experienced). This place is over priced for what you receive. Overly whipped starchy mashed potatoes, a $48 steak that was not very flavorful, and not much else.The highlight of the entire thing, and the reason I offered two stars rather than the 1 everything above would have earned, the Caesar salad made table side. The waitress did a great job, she explained everything very well, she was enjoyable, and frankly that was the best food I had all night. So thank you salad lady, you were the glimmer of hope.

Todd Nelson: Even though I had dinner with my son-in-law, this is a great place for a date night :-) nice ambiance. Big portions, so go hungry! Our server, Joelle, was very pleasant and attentive. Love how the Caesar salad is made fresh at the table! Good menu choices, to include comfort foods!!

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

Miguel Gironza: Gave th place two chances. The first time the service was so slow. It took an hour for the waitress to get to us. The second time we ordered food. Waited two hours and were told the food was not made and they ran out of food. This happened on a Saturday night. Wish we knew because we had to get to a comedy show and with every place busy we couldn't eat.

Eve _: We just got back from dinner. Some observations- food could be very good if it were brought out from the kitchen on time- service is very poor- inattentive help- long wait times without very many customers to justify this. Also, if you are sensitive to smoke, the minute you walk in you can smell the cigar smoke from the basement lounge. It isn't strong and was not really a problem during dinner but it would be for someone more sensitive to it.In particular: we ordered the chips trio. The guacamole was tasteless and hard. I think someone forgot to salt it. The chips were oily and not crisp.My partner ordered the jerk chicken and liked it. I ordered the brisket tacos with pineapple. They were not hot but when I sent them back they were tasty when they returned. The coconut rice was delicious.If they want more customers for meals they might want to reconsider the name. If I hadn't read about it in the Observer, I would not have considered the Havana Cigar and Cocktail Lounge as a place to go for a meal.Hopefully this is growing pains but I can't imagine going back unless it was for drinks and an appetizer.

Nicole: I have a friend who loves to come here whenever he is in town. This is always our first stop of the night for our group of friends when he comes by. They are big whiskey drinkers and I'm not really a fan but there is always a delicious cocktail waiting for me. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very pleasant.Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Grace Su Ming: Nice atmosphere, dark lighting. Avg alcoholic drink $13, whisky bar. Lots of drink options. Large bar. Grilled cheese was okay (not enough cheese). Spent $28 for 1 drink and grilled cheese with fries, on the expensive side. Vegetarian and gluten free food options.

Peter McGarty: Uh a meal in downtown Ann Arbor for four for under $100 dollars. I didn’t think that was possible and to have it be this good too… Wow.Went here for Mother’s Day and started with the shrimp and the sprouts. Shrimp were very good and crispy but the Brussels sprouts were heavenly. Super crispy with plenty of bacon. I had the fish tacos and the fish was super crunchy maybe just add a little more sauce. I really enjoyed the corn tortillas they came in which were lightly fried to give them a little crispness.

Rana Siroosian: First time here.The service was great and the place had a good vibe.I ordered Tune Poke Bowl. It was good but it was different than the ones I’ve had before. There’s usually a sweet taste in the ingredients of the bowl but this instead had pickled daikon radish which had a very strong taste and I couldn’t eat more than one piece. There was only one & a half slice of avocado in the bowl which usually is more than that.The Brussels with bacon was really good but a bit oily, the coconut shrimp was very good.Overall it was a good experience and I would go back.

Gretchen Miotto: Absolutely delicious! Great service!

Wood Mama: Great place to go for a date or fancy night out.

Miles McDowall: Great cocktails, particularly any using whiskey. Their truffle fries are absolutely amazing - order them "with everything". Seating can be limited.

Cathy Morris: We stopped in for a drink and appetizer. We had the Soft Parade beer. Very good. We also had the Cauliflower wings. They were amazing! The Korean BBQ sauce was delicious! I can't wait to go back.

Sin Addams: The mocktails are legit. I promise to enjoy the food next time and let you guys know what I think!

林立立: Nice place to relax

Josh Theisen: A bit dark but nice atmosphere. Food was fine but the cocktails were really good.

Michael Sherman: We had a nice dinner. All meals were delicious.

Mark Chapleski: Chose this restaurant after looking at the reviews. Wow- this is the first time that i have witnessed a place that was so far off the rating! It is very dark wood and dimly lit old style bar setup- that part is fine just not a great setting for dinner. But the food was average at best. We had a larger group of 8 and a few dishes were passable (menu is somewhat limited). 3 of us ordered the chicken pesto pasta (relatively simple Italian dish so was looking forward to a good pesto) and the 3 chicken pesto dishes- which came out about 2 mins after all the others- were room temperature. The chicken was also very dry and cardboard like. My 18-year old som was starving so he went ahead and ate his- 2 of us sent ours back. After 15 mins the server came back (she was polite enough- but didn’t really care about the quality or ask if the second one she brought was better- which it wasn’t!) with the 2 new ones- the chicken was much fresher and actually warm- however the pasta was still room temp. The pesto sauce wasn’t great either. We will not venture here again- too many very nice places to eat in downtown Ann Arbor..

anthony straham: Sammy is the best server

Jason Butka: I'd give it zero if I could. The food took over an hour, the chicken was dry and flavorless, the hostess was insanely rude and had zero personality (I didn't have a run-in with her, I just observed it.... several times).Old Fashioned is okay though they go on the cheap with it (no Bordeaux cherry). Which is fine unless you charge a lot for them (they do).The waitress was nice and tipped well. Hope she gets a job at a good restaurant one day.Stay away.

M Nedloc: I thoroughly enjoyed this speakeasy atmosphere but modern-day décor. It’s dark, but warm but it is also very lively. This place is popular, many bodies fill up the place with a lovely and informative staff. I didn’t know what to get at first, but I had my server explain to me the options and which ones were popular among the crowd. I tried a few different things and everything that was handed to me was great in flavor. I think the portion size for what you are buying is very fair so don’t be afraid to try more, you won’t be saddened. The food menu does change so don’t be afraid to keep up, they even have specials on cocktails and even offer flights of bourbon and more. I felt very laid back here and left alone but very much helped by staff. I can see it as a good first date place where it’s energetic but also a place where you can get to know someone, be able to hear your party and enjoy every detail of the establishment. The only other detail I would keep in mind about this place is the parking, come early to arrive on time.

Laura: They provide some creative mix food of noodles or rice and meat. The taste is 7/10

Jaclyn: Solid drinks, not out of this world. Good vibes

jon keeler: Awesome staff!

Evan Carew: A great place to go for fun drinks, and it has a wide tap. While there last, my friends and I ordered a variety of appetizers which were all good. I would also say they have a great collection of bourbons.
