First time coming here and was looking forward to their pizza! Arrived on a Saturday afternoon…read morearound 530 and they weren't too busy yet. Snagged a booth and my party placed their order quickly. It was a bit dark inside but the booth was comfortable. I loved the outdoor setup and want to come visit on a cooler day! Food arrived fast and we all enjoyed our orders. The kiddos loved their chicken tenders and fries - the RANCH! Yum! Their mixed spring salad was great and I really enjoyed my guanciale and fig pizza (a little too heavy on the fig jam though so I did remove a lot of it). The others in my party had a pepperoni pizza that was great as well. Absolutely best crust I've had on a pizza in awhile! Overall very good, just nothing spectacular so giving 3 stars.

The U-shaped bar gives you both a view of the game and people-watching opportunities. Friendly bartender who made sure we were never thirsty. They also had some great food specials, including a double smash burger with cheese and grilled onions. If there's no game on, the outdoor patio looks like a lovely place to enjoy dinner. A few parking spots in front and more in the surrounding area.

The staff is great, all friendly & helpful. They have a nice tap & bottle beer selection & happy hour specials. The food is all top notch! The beef they use is sourced from Sparrow Market in Ann Arbor which is the best butcher & best quality meat I've found in Michigan! They use Zingermens for their breads & buns so that's also top tier. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious, perfectly seasoned & cooked exactly as ordered. The quality, attention to detail in flavor & execution is some of the best I've seen at any Bar/Pub.

Staff was nice and helpful. I had a sample of their various IPAs and their czech lager. They were all good, the flagship IPA, which they call SSD, was really good. I did not have any food, but they have a menu of fancy items like poke bowls.

I've been here twice and don't even live in Ann Arbor!…read more The atmosphere in here is great because it seems like they've got spaces for everyone. The fun yet not super loud outdoor space with fires going in the evening and benches all around. A great little casual area. Then you get the bar usually with a game on tv....and then another indoor seating area! The indoor seating area can get a tad loud on busy nights but for someone with bad hearing like me, we were still able to find a more quiet area. You order using a QR code on the tables and they have some great shareable options along with a tasty beer menu...especially if you're an IPA gal like me. My friend and I got two menu items .. the Bulgogi Fries with an egg on top and the Thai Arincini. I probably wouldn't get the Thai Arincini again but definitely want to try the wings!

Best hazy of my life, sours were unreal (dry, tart, packed with flavor), wine and 12/10 cocktails for the non-beer lovers in your life. A must visit brewery, one of the best in the contiguous US. High octane Wayne is about to take over the brew program too...things are about to get squirrelly!

Located on the southwest side of A2, long but small parking lot. It filled up quickly…read more There is an open patio outside with a gas fireplace feature. Inside is a room with tables, and a long bar with the start of a long row of brewing equipment behind it. I had a sample of many of their brews, some were good and two were really good. I also had the smashburger (they have a number of variants on their menu) and it was good. Staff was nice. And made sure I got a new order in before happy hour pricing ended.

The pizzas are unique: very thin, a bit on the softer side, but packed with flavor.

My husband especially loved the Ells German‑style pizza. l really liked the lavender lemonade!

While we were there, a family pulled in asking for help. Their boat trailer had somehow detached from their vehicle and was laying, tilted forward on the pavement.

In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

The team here asked us to order at the bar before being seated. I don't know if that is their normal process. If it is...it might work well for the restaurants logistics but it creates a less than desirable dinning feel for me. The order takers were very friendly and helpful. They hustled to process the train passengers. The seating area is a large open room. It feels like an old factory turned beer garden. The floors are a nice hardwood. Not much decor or atmosphere in this large room. They did have a singer as entertainment which wasn't the best. For food I started with the potstickers. These weren't your traditional Chinese potsticker. They were over fried and tough. The filling was vegan instead of pork. It didn't work for me and wasn't very tasty. Kinda tough and flavorless. The sweet chili sauce really helped. I also tried the BBQ Mac Burrito. The BBQ was good but not very plentiful. It was a bit hard to find that taste. The Mac & Cheese was nice and creamy. The noodles were soft. Served alone I think they would be fine. Stuffed in a burrito....not a fan of. Please be aware that they don't give free refills on soda. We didn't have table service outside of someone dropping off food. Overall I will give them four stars for opening up special for the train tour. Otherwise I was rather unimpressed with this establishments process and food.

I liked how open it was and that there were a lot of tables/seating and that you could see most of the tables. There is a bar and a good amount of tvs. You can sample any beers or ciders which was nice! My friend and I tried: - apple cider: this was pretty apple-y, nothing special but it's the one I ended up ordering - sangria cider: a little too sweet for me - cherry cider: it didn't taste like cherry to me - mint chocolate chip malt: I was so intrigued that I had to try this. Confirming it does taste like mint chocolate chip! Food we ordered: - chicken Caesar wrap - ahi tuna poke bowl: I thought there would be more seaweed or lettuce but the base was white rice. It was a fine poke bowl but I don't think worth $20 - Korean rice bowl: my friend added shrimp Service was okay. They were busy but things took time to get to us. I would probably come back again.
