Best hazy of my life, sours were unreal (dry, tart, packed with flavor), wine and 12/10 cocktails for the non-beer lovers in your life. A must visit brewery, one of the best in the contiguous US. High octane Wayne is about to take over the brew program too...things are about to get squirrelly!

Inside is a room with tables, and a long bar with the start of a long row of brewing equipment behind it. I had a sample of many of their brews, some were good and two were really good. I also had the smashburger (they have a number of variants on their menu) and it was good. Staff was nice. And made sure I got a new order in before happy hour pricing ended.

I couldn't get a definitive answer, but I think they probably belong separated. Why this isn't more popular is beyond me. Just like the restaurant above, it is a typical traditional look and feel of a Rathskeller. IDK if old Bavarian pubs had giant Jenga, but The Rathskeller does have dart boards and plenty of seating for alcohol influenced socializing. Great German and domestic beers, decent mixed drinks and a serious collection of different liquors. A pretty vast menu of signature cocktails to help you. The Rathskeller is a cozy, intimate dive to have a legitimate chill with your peeps and a few drinks. 11/24

Lots of European, classic, and "old world" varieties you won't find in the other brewpubs around Ann Arbor. Food is a fairly standard, brewpub affair. Solid bites, though perhaps not exceptional. Smash burger is okay. Poutine is generously portioned and I like their fry texture.

Staff was nice and helpful. I had a sample of their various IPAs and their czech lager. They were all good, the flagship IPA, which they call SSD, was really good. I did not have any food, but they have a menu of fancy items like poke bowls.

The fun yet not super loud outdoor space with fires going in the evening and benches all around. A great little casual area. Then you get the bar usually with a game on tv....and then another indoor seating area! The indoor seating area can get a tad loud on busy nights but for someone with bad hearing like me, we were still able to find a more quiet area. You order using a QR code on the tables and they have some great shareable options along with a tasty beer menu...especially if you're an IPA gal like me. My friend and I got two menu items .. the Bulgogi Fries with an egg on top and the Thai Arincini. I probably wouldn't get the Thai Arincini again but definitely want to try the wings!
