    cider

    cute place with board games and serves cider and mead. got rh raspberry cider and the ginger one and they were good! was able to snag a seat and play board games for a few hours which was fun! also had a tv playing the game.

    Love this place! Enjoyed a delightful evening here after dinner with a friend, a flight of meads and ciders, and a few boardgames out of the few dozen they have at the meadery. The meads and ciders they carry here are light and bubbly, on the drier side and not too sweet. They switch it up with a variety of seasonal flavors that keep you coming back to try something new. My friend really enjoyed the seasonal blueberry maple on nitro. Staff as usual is welcoming and friendly, it was particularly nice for them to let us finish up our board game later in the evening near to their closing-up time. Bathrooms are large and clean, it seems like originally this space was part of a commercial building so they retained the larger bathrooms. Street parking is generally available if you don't mind walking a few blocks, or there are a couple lots/structures around too. I LOVE that they have community events here, it's truly a boon for the neighborhood to have a pleasant spot to gather for trivia, boardgames, meetups and yoga.

    Updating my review to add a few things: 1. Wifi does work! I was being an idiot and didn't have the correct case for the password. 2. Mulled mead is my new fave winter drink 3. Trivia nights are soooo fun Overall highly recommend and will def be back!

    Great spot to gather with friends! Beautiful interior that feels very light and airy, and definitely a unique offering in the area with their meads and ciders. It feels like a fun alternative to all the other options around for beer, wine, cocktails.Flexible menu that allows you to get a full size drink if you know what you want, pre-set flights, or build your own. My friend was also able to try a small taste of a drink before committing to a full size. For my first time here, I wanted to do a flight to try more! Limited food menu that felt a little random (cheese plate, chocolate, oh and also a beef lasagna?) but honestly not complaining, everything sounded good. We stuck to drinks for this visit though. Blom also hosts a lot of events for the community, which I think is great. Board game nights, comedy, creator workshops, yoga, trivia, and lots more. The only thing for me is that I don't think I actually like mead that much... but that's a me issue! I would definitely recommend folks check this place out, potentially try something new, and decide for themselves if they like the mead :).

    Stopped in for a first time visit. 5-star on service. They were friendly & quick. Vibe was energetic and happy. It was Thursday night trivia and the place was packed. The reason for the 3-star is two fold. First, I just didn't love most of the ciders. We ordered the flight of 8. My two favorite were the pear-ginger and the absinthe, particularly the absinthe. Overall the ciders & meads are all very light and subtle; nothing remarkable to me. If that's your thing, you'll be happy. Second reason is the seating along the wall gets uncomfortable after a while. Stool seating that has no backs or place to rest your feet. Minor things (sort of) but if you're going to hang out for a while, comfort matters. Then again, we're probably a bit older than the usual demographic so take that for what it's worth! :)

    Mead - a classic Midwest drink! Absolutely delightful to see a meadery in Ann Arbor! I have come here a couple times and though I don't drink alcohol, all my friends who have tasted the honey wines and meads here have absolutely loved them! Many buying more of their pre-packaged cans to-go and I have also bought several as gifts for other friends as well who enjoy sweeter alcoholic beverages! What is even more wonderful about Blom in particular on top of their unique way of making their meads is that they make their own non-alcoholic drinks as well, my favorite being the Switchel which is their house made soda and is so sweet and so delightful going down! They also offer a whole selection of snacks and other foods to enjoy as well! Their pot pie in particular is DIVINE! Aaaaand to top it all off, they have a whole selection of games you can play from while you enjoy their food and drink AND their entire spot is dog friendly! The interiors are so beautifully designed and they have a patio and open up their garage-style doors during the nice weather so that their whole space feels outdoors as well. This is a wonderful place to visit with friends while you're in Ann Arbor if you want to enjoy quality snacks and drinks and have some serious fun! It's located in a bit of an odd location at the base of an apartment building, a block off of Main Street, so it's not conducive to the best people-watching, but it feels tucked away in a special way and I really love it!

    Came to try a 4oz pour of each of their meads which was delicious. Pours were reasonable priced and flavor descriptions were accurate. They had wifi and was able to get some work done while enjoying their meads. Cashier/bar service was quick and simple.

    I am a big hard cider fan. Was exciting to see a place dedicated to this. Good selection with flight options. Honestly, I only liked two out of the five that I tried. They are really carbonated and dry. The place is cute and lots of seating option. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also have free board games. Was only in town for the day but looked like they do events/yoga here. None of the ciders were good enough to buy any to go.

    Hi, are you all dog friendly?

    Hi there, Natasha! Technically we are not allowed to have dogs in the taproom...

    Are there board games available to play, other than during Thursday Board Game Nights?

    Yup, our board games are available all the time! On board game nights we have a game guru available who can answer questions, form groups, suggest games, and so on. We also have raffle prizes every week! But you're welcome to come in and play them…

    Since a really long time we wanted to come here for trivia and because their timings were 8pm…read morebeyond it was never to be on cards until now that they moved it down to 7.30pm and we took a team there. I took a flight of meads and all were good with staff being very passionate about each one of them. Trivia host is great, he kept the audience engaged. I however like the paper version of quizzo better. There is absolutely no food options unless they're hosting a food truck or so which they don't do it every day. Snacks like bagged chips may be available but you can also bring your own food from outside. Now the trivia enthusiasts we are, we will probably not make this as our destination but instead go elsewhere because most of the crowd seemed a little too drunk that we personally couldn't enjoy much but that is just my personal opinion because it is still a very popular place with lot of events they have over the week. We may come back for a tasting experience but maybe not for an extended time stay like trivia. Although people who enjoy meads this will be a very good place to go to.

    We came for the Always Sunny in Philadelphia Trivia. I am not much of a mead drinker so I wasn't…read moresure what to expect. They had a variety though and it's easy to find one you like! The staff was super friendly and the trivia host had us all bellowing with laughter. It was a very fun night! They do not serve food but do have food trucks that come by. Unfortunately the food truck was late and we were leaving as they were setting up. Overall this was a fun place with a very unique vibe and I think everyone should check it out and show them some love!

    It's a challenge to accurately rate Blake's Lyon Twp, having grown up with Blake's in Armada, and…read moreexperiencing recently what it has become. Also never went here when it was Erwin's. I'm glad there is a Blake's closer for all my friends that didn't grow up on the east side like me, but I want it to be a bit more like the Armada location. I get they aren't open all year at this location, but even during October, a indoor dining hall would go a long way! Was pretty chilly sitting eating my wares from the food trucks, which were delicious, but the Armada location's restaurant is even better than what the food trucks offer. Also yay for GF doughnuts! Lots of kids stuff, and food for them. Would LOVE to see them make improvements so they can be open longer! Heated dining tent? Convert one of the buildings to indoor dining? If you're new to Blake's, and don't know what hard cider to get, I suggest Apple Pie, Strawberry Zen, Caramel Apple, or Peach Party!

They had four different flavors so I asked for a dozen of the four doughnuts - an equal number of each, thinking they would give me three of each one. Ordered a dozen and they only gave me 10 - they gave me four plain and only two each of the cinnamon, caramel, and caramel with nuts. I didn't look until I got home. Not a big deal but just make sure they have your order right before you leave!
