I appreciate their mocktail menu but the other options sounded kinda...weak? Like just some soda and bitters, perhaps. Happy to try another to prove myself wrong. Their small menu looked appetizing. Barstaff was very friendly and kind to allow us to sit and tap on a busy night. For the real ones: this place kind of has Bar at Braun Court vibes inside, but it's *on* the beaten path, I like Bar was. Kind of interesting! I'll be back to experience more.

I got a lychee one because I prefer sweet drinks and it was good but tasted nothing like lychee. The drinks were about $15 each. It has a nice ambiance and I was able to enjoy a conversation with my date without any loud music or distractions.

But it was super crowded so I ended sitting in the back section, which was more comfortable because there were less people. We got: - 2 small vanilla lattes with whole milk - pastrami sandwich: I was expecting better bread to be honest, it looked like a cafeteria sandwich in my opinion - large drip coffee It was a good vibe seeing people working and college kids working. The outdoor area was also open since it was a beautiful day out!

It can be hit or miss finding a spot with outdoor seating so early in the season, so I texted my friend and fellow Elite Tiffany S: "Do you know of any places with a patio that might be open today for lunch?" Her reply: "York!!" So off to York we went! I will say that parking seemed a little tricky as it's sort of tucked into a residential area - we got lucky with a spot on the street. They do have some designated parking in front but that lot was full. I couldn't really tell by reading reviews & looking at Yelp photos what this spot was like, but it's an interesting mix of coffee shop, wine bar, and deli. There is also a Ricewood BBQ window and I think a food truck in back. The patio has ample space and I was surprised to see it wasn't super busy. We had just eaten, so we weren't hungry, but they do have sandwiches, cheese boards, salads, and breakfast items. Everything sounded really good, so I would definitely come back in the future. We saw people hanging out and working, so Nate fired up his laptop and got some work done while I sat and read. I loved the murals and art around the patio. Also huge shoutout to the staff - especially the person who informed me that I am eligible for an Ann Arbor District Library card since I work in the city! They were super friendly and kind, which made our experience even better.

Pick a nice day, evening to go as we did get caught in the rain today and cover was sparse with the amount of people looking for cover.

Parking surprisingly wasn't an issue especially seeing how busy this place gets.

They don't serve any food though, so might not be a good choice if you're hungry. - Dogfish Head Grateful Dead IPA: 10000/10 (an amazing, refreshing IPA that isn't too strong! Medium-bodied, pretty fruit-forward with notes of pineapple and mango. Honestly one of the best IPAs I've had in a whileee) - Kasteel Wit: 9/10 (light-body wheat beer that's also super refreshing and flavorful!) - Hacker Pschor Oktoberfest: 10/10 (great marzen) - Rhineheist Cheetah lager: 8/10 (decent lager) - Guinness: 6/10 (the Guinness was wayyyyy too watery!!!) - Ferndale Project Apple Pie: 9/10 (actually tastes like apple pie and vanilla! It's def on the sweeter side though, so you might not like it if you're not into sweet beer) Overall, I definitely want to come back and sit outside when the weather is nicer!

Waxbar has been a favorite spot for the past few years, and even though it's changed ownership in…read morethe past couple of years, it's still an excellent spot to grab a drink and wind down for an evening. Waxbar's ambiance used to lean heavily into the record store aesthetic, but now embraces the neighborhood bar/ dive bar style -- the upside is that there's a lot more seating available now! The drinks are still great, and represent a fairly good value overall! I appreciate the low-key nature of Waxbar, it's always a relatively cozy environment, the staff are friendly, and you can tell the regulars love it and will stay regulars for many years (if not decades) to come. I've sampled a lot of their drink menu in the past few years, but in the recent shift of ownership, I haven't tried as many adventurous cocktails. The most recent trip to Waxbar included a Black Manhattan, which was fun and a nice spin on the standard Manhattan. I'll definitely be back!
