    They have a great variety of cocktails! Classics, modern, and even tiki. Plus their whiskey selection is solid.

    The Penicillin is definitely a cocktail classic. Two types of scotch, ginger, lemon and honey syrup come together to pack a punch up front, only to round out and leave you wanting more!

    Osborne!! Andys only! Really, the cocktails here are so thoughtfully done hat you can taste it and see it in all the staff. Great atmosphere and certain days has live music.

    Amazing cocktails. Great ambiance. But don’t skip the bar menu: the fries were good, but the peppers were incredible.

    Cocktails, obviously. Great whiskey selection (half price on Wednesdays?!), good fries (though this may be correlated with half price whiskey).

    The Chef has a way of using fennel in the food that is remarkable. Highly recommend the Oysters Rockefeller and a Moscow Mule to drink.

    Nice little prohibition era cocktail bar. One of the best whisky selections I have found in the area.

    Great cocktails and spirits list. Yakitori was good, skip the beignets unless you like your beignets to be more like paczki/challah.

    although dark and a bit far, the ambiance of this bar is pretty neat and well makes up for the walk/uber

    Some of the best bartenders in town (all nice guys!) and a really underrated gastropub menu.

    The last word cocktail with the barrel aged chartreuse and the pink spruce gin will blow your mind. In a different vein wednesdays are now tiki night for the summer.

    The beignets were wonderful. The "Blue yer mah boy" is highly recommended.

    Favorite spot in Ann Arbor. The music is always on point from Wu-Tang to The Cure to LCD Soundsystem.

    Also, order the custom drink I always do - limoncello with vodka and ginger ale!

    On the drink menu pay attention to the chapter categories. Chapter 1 drinks are light, Chapter 3 drinks are strong!

    Must have been a fluke but our service was unacceptably slow. Very disappointing after waiting to get in. Cocktails were very good, though.

    The address here is wrong. It's actually around the corner, on Huron - the /other/ unmarked door at that intersection.
