    Busy Saturday night, had a reservation but decided to sit at bar as a bit quieter. Excellent food, yellowfin tuna salad very nice, quick service, especially considering how busy, huge beer selection, price not crazy, what’s not to like?

    Outstanding beers and tasty food! Wish they had French fries :) This is a great spot to visit more than once on a trip to Ann Arbor. Very nice people working there. Top notch gastropub.

    They did a great job getting tasty dishes and great drinks to us in good time given the size of our party (9) and the busy restaurant (Friday night before a big rivalry football game!). A fun night, Kudos!

    Love the food and the waitstaff! I love the entire place…. Except the noise level. It always takes me a bit to adjust to the noise level.

    Great place to eat, although we do miss the formerly non-ABC beer list. Food was great and our server was awesome.

    I was a little bit nervous to try sessions room after it had been bought out by Arbor brewing. However, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. The beers were good, the food was pretty much the same. Had a really good time.
