Best Tapas Bar Ann Arbor Near Me

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.

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

Mitchell Davidson: Drinks are fairly good and reasonably priced (I recommend the amaretto sour). Solid option for college students who don't want the club-like atmosphere of Rick's and Skeeps. Also, a great choice for GameDay!

Evan H: a bit pricey for the quality

Dan Gilbert: The bar itself honestly is pretty good, nice indoor/outdoor seating and big bar. However, the staff, mainly the bouncers are the most disrespectful, unprofessional, and physical group of people I’ve ever come across in a bar. I have seen their bouncers physically confront people on multiple occasions and get, no less than what I would call, violent. On women mind you. Not the kind of business I want to support.

David Lieber: Great trivia night Wednesday night, with cash prices. Friendly staff and good food

Tara Turner: Fun place to stop in and have a drink! It's outside so be sure to bring a coat in the evening. They have heating lamps that keep the space pretty warm. The staff are friendly and is right next to pizza house (late night snack) 😉

Juan Thompson: Gar Bar Happy Hour and outdoor seating area are amazing... But the staff suck. The bouncers are always on some weird power trip - they will cut friend groups in half in line, question real IDs heavily, and just kinda mad dog people in general. cover is also super inconsistent (ranging from 5-20 dollars at any given time/night)

speedy vargas: Great place love coming here

Caleb Vance: Loving the Happy Hour and concept! Can’t wait to watch the game there this Saturday 🙌🏽 #GreatHappyHour

Emily Rouse: Amazing drinks and cool atmosphere

Christine Comer: Decent beer selection and lots of seating. Good happy hour.

Bethany Cardona: great happy hour!

Anya Skala: The concept was cool 😎 the bruchetta was okay. Staff was meh. 🤷‍♀️

Henry Walters: Nice patio!

Taylor S: I would give this bar zero stars if I could. They signed up to be a part of a bar crawl with waived cover and then still charged cover. I find that to be very inconsiderate and rude. I was a college student not too long ago and I understand that they take advantage of those who are driven by popularity, but have some integrity. The rest of Ann Arbor does not respect you.

Rick L: Awesome place, I reccomend the drinks there.

Emily Weaver: Garage bar, infamously known as "Gar Bar," is one of the most obnoxious, inconsiderate establishments in Ann Arbor. Not only do they BLAST music every night of the week past 2 am (even when calling them to politely ask to turn down the music and bass that's shaking my window panes), but they play atrocious music as well. In fact, "What Does the Fox Say" is playing right now.. now imagine it on a Monday night at midnight with bass that I didn't even know the song had. Have some respect and turn down the music when multiple people call and ask or at least play decent music.

muhanad almaliky: Loved the atmosphere and our server was super cool and friendly.

David Patterson: Love the open air atmosphere, especially when it’s not an ideal time for crowded indoor bars

Greg Tyler: Inside or outside it's just a cool place to hang out!

J K: Home football Saturday, night game. At 2 pm there are 2 bartenders for a pretty full house, and neither of them is what you’d call quick.So they set up a line to order drinks, but then dont enforce it so anyone who wants to jump the line can.Anyways, if you’re gonna have a sports bar in Ann Arbor, hire some servers on fall Saturdays
