Nice vibes being an underground lounge. Server was very nice, but be prepared to wait especially on busy Saturday nights. Looking forward to coming back.

Nice but it's darker than in the pictures and there are not enough seats.

I had an unfortunate experience here. If you’ve ever been to a bar where the manager and employees just act like they have the power to do anything then that is at this bar. The manager was so aggressive I was actually scared he was going to start assaulting people. On top of that the cocktails were expensive and not good at all. I would save your money and go somewhere else. There are a lot better places to go in Ann Arbor.

If it were NYC, LA or London I’d give it a 0/5 stars. If it was in Toronto I’d give it 1/5 stars. If it were in Chicago I’d give it 1.5/5 stars. It’s kinda the best you can get in a lame small college town. Ann Arbor sets a low bar so I’ll give it 5/5 for what it is

My favorite bar in town is now tainted. The bouncer here is really rude and unprofessional. I entered the door with my sparkling water bottle. There’s no trash can outside, so while I was entering, there’s a trash not to far behind the the bouncer at the door. He was corrupt, he demanded me to pay $200 to dispose of it. Very displeased with his sour attitude.

Two Pool tables to rent by the hour when we were there. The Nicest Security Guards ever. The Two security guards we met and they were helpful in helping us find Fleetwood and directions to webers and other restaurants to eat at. Our waitress was very attentive and our drinks were spot on.

Always a fun time here. Great selection of quality spirits and craft beers for most people's tastes. The staff is always friendly, engaging and professional. Have yet to play billiards, but guessing you have to show up earlier than I typically am able. Have your ID out when you get here to make the doorman's life easier.

Welcoming, comfy, true jazz club feeling. Crack bar staff can handle anything with ease and style

Went there for a date night. Wasn't sure I was in the right place but they have a guy at the door telling you where to go. I didn't think it would be as big as it was. Very spacious, black with low lights. Nice vibe. I forget the full name of the drinks we ordered but I ordered the julep one and boy was it strong. They did not skimp on the liquor at all. I can usually throwback some liquor but this was a sipping drink. My date had the hanky panky and I forget the name of the other one. But he liked them both. Will definitely be back to try out other drinks. I wish I would have remembered our server. She was nice and offered her opinions on what to get and checked on us to ask what we thought. Very pleasant.

Worst experience I've had in my 44 years in Ann arbor...I got my Christmas bonus... And went to 'babs' to send a portion of it to play pool..I was ther for 2 hrs, never offered a drink, the guys next to me made fun of me, worst experience ever... U unless your rich and can prove it... Stay away...
