I asked for a fruity drink with vodka and he suggested a crimson and clover which was 10/10. I ordered a smash burger and hush puppies, the burger was a 4/10 due to the lack of seasoning and the hush puppies were doughy 3/10. The food was not the leader here but I enjoyed this bar 100%

I love mash, but this past year they've had a door-lady who consistently ruins the experience. I…read moream 25 (and look older) and she routinely grills my friends and I as if we're using fakes. One time I made a joke along the lines of "you can ask me anything on there, I memorized it all." And she threatened to confiscate my ID and give it to the police. Not because she suspected it was fake, but because she was offended or something? Another time I asked to step outside to smoke and she said if I did I'd have to get back in line (I only asked because she, for some reason, keeps the door of the bar locked from the inside). She also dresses in a militarized costume, as if she it gives her more authority or something. How annoying she makes the experience of going to mash is well known amongst everyone I know who goes. This woman epitomizes abuse of power -- so thank god she has close to none.

Mash offers a pretty solid bar-going experience in Ann Arbor. A group of us stopped by recently…read moreafter a night downtown, looking to find somewhere we could grab a drink and catch up. Mash fit the bill (pun intended hah) and did the job just fine. The drink menu is pretty expansive, both as far as liquor selection and cocktails as well. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that they have a few standard mocktails that they're known for! I tried the raspberry mock mule, and I'm happy to report that it's a hit. Great flavor and super refreshing, plus it offers a fun drink even if you're not drinking. The bartender was super nice and helped break down all the options as well. The crowd at mash is more collegiate than I was expecting -- I thought a whiskey inspired bar would driver an older crowd, but the bar was packed with early 20-somethings on a Saturday night. If you show up past 9pm on the weekend, there's a good chance you won't find a seat and will have to wait 20 minutes to get through the line at the bar, but Mash serves as a great place to meet up with the crew. As we were leaving around 11, we spotted a huge line out the door trying to get in too; it seems like the collegiate clientele have really designated Mqsh as the place to be on a weekend night! Overall, I'd recommend Mash -- I'm looking forward to going back and trying out more of their menu!

They don't serve any food though, so might not be a good choice if you're hungry. - Dogfish Head Grateful Dead IPA: 10000/10 (an amazing, refreshing IPA that isn't too strong! Medium-bodied, pretty fruit-forward with notes of pineapple and mango. Honestly one of the best IPAs I've had in a whileee) - Kasteel Wit: 9/10 (light-body wheat beer that's also super refreshing and flavorful!) - Hacker Pschor Oktoberfest: 10/10 (great marzen) - Rhineheist Cheetah lager: 8/10 (decent lager) - Guinness: 6/10 (the Guinness was wayyyyy too watery!!!) - Ferndale Project Apple Pie: 9/10 (actually tastes like apple pie and vanilla! It's def on the sweeter side though, so you might not like it if you're not into sweet beer) Overall, I definitely want to come back and sit outside when the weather is nicer!

However, I made a grave mistake of ordering on the QR code/Toast rather than at the bar. I say grave because fellow bourbon whisky enthusiasts will cringe -- I was pretty stoked to see that they had Basil Hayden Toasted. So, I ordered it but also selected "add water" with the anticipation that it would be like a dropper of water. Nope, they made a cocktail out of my 2oz pour of Basil Hayden. Whiskey water. At that point, it could've been Makers Mark or Jack and I wouldn't have known the difference. User error though so I did make sure I still tipped accordingly and NOW I know. I'll be back though.

For being an old Rite Aid it's very nicely spaced and capacious. 12 full bays along all the sides with trackman systems, waitstaff, full kitchen with a one page menu, and a good time. I had them make my own cocktail and they gladly complied. Bourbon- honey- lemon- soda. Solid refresher. Also tried the shrimp tacos; 2 tacos for $15... they were decent however two different types of tortillas aren't necessary so I had them bail the corn tortilla and go with the one flour. The shrimp could've been better; they were not well cooked and a bit slimy. The avocado crema was decent. My buds had smash burgers and they said they were decent. The people who work there are great... even sarcastic and funny. Perfect for my type of humor. It does add up a bit but $165 for 3 hours of sim time isn't bad and the systems are nice. Really dig all the unique seating options and tvs everywhere. I'll def be back to golf and to drink! Best new spot- best spot in Waterford.

I did a night at the Book hitting all three of the Japanese inspired spots and while the other two also fantastic, this was the spot that really blew me away. Dark luscious woods, bright red accents, soft lighting throughout except at the bar. Opulent to the point of decadent, gorgeous to the point of Ann Margaret. The drink menu itself was curated perfection with a wide variety of options not only in what the base was, but also strengths and flavor profiles. The bartender was knowledgeable and beyond helpful and while I got here early before any of the crowds would hit, I can only imagine he would be just as helpful to everyone. You can sit right at the bar, or the any of the low, lush couches that fill up the room all around the bar. I can't tell you how much I loved this spot and I will be back over and over and over again.

It's been on my list for a while now and I would say it was the worth the wait. So, if you're waiting, stop! Just go! This trip, I went the appetizers route. Next trip, I might get a few different heavier options. However, I will always get the whiskey glazed Brussels. The pretzels were a little harder than my preference. The basket of fries was very hot. The Brie was pretty good as well and they definitely serve enough of it for a table to share. Whiskey: Well I actually ordered an Apple pie martini because it caught my eye on their featured menu. I then (mistake on my part) ordered two smoked manhattan's. Those were great. I preferred the smoked vs not smoked. And all were decent or standard sized glasses. The atmosphere is perfect for recapping your day or catching up with people. There's a lot of space and plenty of seating options. There's definitely a cozy feel to this place.
