House salad
Natasha A.

I came here on a Saturday around 8pm, it was busy but not overly so. There were a lot of empty tables outside. We were sat quickly, and it took quite a while to get a drink, and even longer to order. I got a tequila drink that was not great and I didn't finish it. I also got a house salad the smash burger which was definitely not smashed just cooked. We also got the hush puppies which were good.

One Two Punch
Linda I.

I was really impressed with my most recent visit! We were downtown and already feeling hungry around 4:45ish on a Friday, and wandered into Raven's Club, unsure if we were going to do early dinner or more like a snacking vibe. We ended up going for it. Husband and I got two of their large plates and split them. Both were beautifully served, generously portioned, and very tasty! The Churrasco Flat Iron Steak was cooked perfectly to order, with unique accompaniments like grilled tomatillos, stewed beans, and a zippy chimichurri sauce. The Shrimp & Grits was phenomenal, with juicy flavorful shrimp on saucy grits, and an extra pack of flavor in the sausage and hot peppers. Both dishes had a spicy kick, which I enjoyed! To drink, I got the One Two Punch, a seasonal cocktail with mezcal, pineapple bell pepper syrup, basil, and lime. Super tasty and nicely presented. Felt a little milder in the alcohol content.

Great seasonal cocktails. Love the vibes, nice and chill. Service was great as well. Next time I'm in town I will visit again

REALLY great spot! We came on a Sunday, and they had live jazz music. It was outstanding, they were unbelievably talented! The service was great as well, it was beautiful inside, and the drinks were great! My husband got the in the pines, and I got the water of the woods. Both good, but we both loved mine best! It had a wonderful and refreshing sweetness to it!

Delicious menu and great time! I came for restaurant week and had such a wonderful experience. I got the spicy Brussels sprouts which were amazing as well as fries and the pimento cheese dip. Next the soup was also great. A super flavorful tomato soup. Lastly I got the vodka pasta which was just superb. Wonderful flavor with a good kick of heat.

Happy Hour
Diego A.

Visited this spot for a work happy hour. It was 19 of us. Drinks arrived in decent time. The server and host were courteous and nice. The cocktails here are pretty good. I tried their Old Fashioned and it was definitely one of the tastier ones I've had. The greatest part about The Ravens Club is the atmosphere... the vibe of the place. The lighting and the fixtures that make that lighting happen are carefully picked and positioned. The wall color and decore and the accents and details are all impressive. I dug this place. PS: The team I was with ate various appetizers that all seemed delicious. I only tried the truffle fries and they were good but a bit soggy.

We came for drinks last night. I've previously enjoyed an evening out with friends on football weekends & had a favorable impression. It's vibe is classy and inviting - low lighting and intimate interior. Good cocktails, which were enjoyed last night. Service was great. The knock to three stars is due to the excessive noise last night. I don't recall it being unbearably loud on my previous visits. But last night was different. The music was noticeably loud when we arrived and went to blaring by the time we left. No reason for it to be that loud. As a result, nearby groups were shouting further making conversation very difficult. It was as if they had an identity crisis- classier vibe or college crowd? I hope the noise was an aberration because with the cozy booths and inviting atmosphere this could be a terrific place for those wanting great drinks without the screaming college bar experience.

Steak was supposed to be medium rare but looks at least medium rare. But flavor was good.

First things first- our servers (Sammy inside, Jordan outside) were awesome and both get 5 stars. This was the first weekend of in-the/street seating. It was full when we arrived so we went inside. VERY dark. But Sammy made everything great. Went outside for dinner. Ordered 2 apps and a steak entree to share. Took way too long to arrive and everything came at once. Plus the steak was overcooked- ordered medium rare and was delivered at least medium if not more done (see picture). But everything was still good and we were not unhappy. Downtown Ann Arbor is really fun!

Classic old fashioned and a signature cocktail.
Eatconomy S.

One of the best cocktail bars i have ever been to. Dim lights, jazz music, and amazing cocktails. The bartenders are fun and personable.

Cabin on Saturn
Ainsley E.

Been coming here for years but took a long break over the pandemic. Sad to see there doesn't seem to be happy hour specials anymore (it used to be epic) but they still have the deviled eggs and cheese plate I came to love. Scaled down cocktail list compared to years past, but still solid drinks always (recommend the Cabin on Saturn and Old Fashioned). Cool loungey setting. They can accommodate larger groups but it's also nice to sit at the bar or a two-top for something more intimate.

High 75
Katy C.

I ordered a High 75, which is a French 75 made with Japanese whisky - it was delightful! I think I may try making these at home. Nate got the Cold War, a vodka based drink with the house made ginger beer. Both drinks were good and we would've tried more, but were sticking with one drink each at different bars in the area. It did take quite awhile before anyone came over to take our order. The first thing the server told us was that the kitchen was closed, which was sort of funny since the host also told us when we walked in the door. No worries for us as we already had dinner plans. The atmosphere of this bar is super dark and moody, with dark wood and carpet everywhere. It wasn't quite the vibe I was looking for, but we enjoyed our drinks and the service was ok. The food menu sounded good so I'd probably stop by again to try a meal and grab another drink.

White Smoked Whitefish Spread
Summer V.

Delicious food and vibe. I loved coming her for a small bite with a romantic feel. It's cozy and the drinks are really good. The white fish spread is to die for!

Moody lighting with large lamps
Samantha S.

I've frequented the Ravens Club a few times this past year, and I'm adding it to my go-to list for cocktail hour & light bites in downtown Ann Arbor. Why? Because I can't get enough of their Judge Holden cocktail: tequila, chili liqueur, guajillo, pineapple, and fresh lime. If I'm not in the mood for a spicy sip, I also love their take on a bramble with vodka. The ambiance is moody -- with old-school lighting, a long wooden bar, and exposed brick wall. I've only ever tried their starters while hanging out with friends; we definitely keep coming back to truffle fries, bacon brussel sprouts (huge), and cauliflower wings. Service is also consistent - fine & friendly!

Food was just okay. They don't tell you about the extra charge for music until after you get your check. It's a $5 fee a person.

We stumbled across this pub on our way to the ice cream place, and we decided to give it a try!…read moreOverall, we were impressed-- super cozy indoor/outdoor space, fast service, and an amazing list of draft beer options! 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!

This spot is pretty chill! I was thinking it was a beer only watering hole but they actually have…read morean AWESOME selection of bourbon. 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.

Ann Arbor is always such an interesting spot for a night out. During the school year, the streets…read moreare teeming with college kids bouncing around, which of course is what you would expect from a great college town. What I do love about Ann Arbor is that they balance out the drunk haunts of young adults with great restaurants and high end bars for the people looking for more than a pitcher of cheap beer. Rabbit Hole is one of those spots. Down the same little alley way as Circ Bar, this underground bar is tucked away, stone hallways and open up and lead to different openings that provide seating, a dance floor and an amazingly stocked bar. If you like bourbon you will love this spot. Our bartender was fantastic, absolutely worked with me on working out a drink. I know I took a pic of an espresso martini, but my drink was made perfect also. Another nice surprise was that it wasn't some crazy price on the drink (I mean any crazier than other places and quite cheaper than around my home), especially for Ann Arbor. Walking away from the bar is a dance floor, and surrounding it are booths in a separate rooms and tables on a level up from the dance floor. There are also two hallways that lead to more booths and tables in different areas of the bar. As you can imagine this is a huge place. We came on a Friday and it wasn't very busy, but school is out and the weather had just broke so not surprising. I really enjoyed my time and the company I was with, and I would definitely go back.

Another place actually open later, I needed to come and try…read more Rabbit hole definitely has a unique look. It reminded me of visits through caves I just needed some Stalactites. Definitely a bit confusing to figure out where to go. I wish I had been given some direction. There is seating against the wall throughout the winding halls. There is a dance floor and a couple bars. I loved the look which would definitely bring me back if I had also loved the Cocktails. The drink I ordered was way too sweet. I was underwhelmed. Most of their drinks looked on the sweeter side even the bartender mentioned. For my second I just ordered a glass of bubbly. It was also on the sweeter side but an improvement. For the prices, I really don't want to have to get up, find my way back to the bar to order my drink, then walk back to my seat avoiding the people and trying not to spill.
