    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.
