Great drinks and food. Full stars because this is not typical bar food. Everything has an Asian twist. Our first two dishes were stellar. The beet salad has a light dressing with puffed rice. The Korean BBQ wings were not spicy at all, and had more of a bulgogi-style marinade with an umami punch. The bulgogi fries was served with an egg. A bit salty but a fun variation. I would skip the pad see ew as it was too salty and dry, and lacked veggies and finesse. I had a pilsner, F....., that would be an elixir for any ailment. Not a huge draft list but enough variety to please everyone. There are two daquiri choices and a soda fountain. read more

Great beer, food and atmosphere. This is a must stop while in Ann Arbor. I loved the Korean flavors.

Great hangout place for after work! I've only tried a few beers but they've all been great. I've had the metaform grape and metaform peach, both delicious and basically juice if you're afraid of beer. I tried the cliff last night and it was good too. The food looks amazing, my friends always get the fries and they rave about them. It can get super busy, so get there early to grab a table if you're a bigger group. I've only been on Thursdays but the line to get beer can get long, can only imagine what it might be like on the weekends. The space itself is nice, there's an outdoor area and a half indoor/outdoor area with long tables. Dogs are only allowed in the outdoor area. The bathrooms are really nice and clean. Parking can be an issue, especially when it's busy so just be prepared to find street parking and walk. read more

There's nothing else really like this concept in Ann Arbor - therefore it is a must try! Homes Brewpub is outfitted into a unique space, with an option for customers to order at the bar, grab drinks, and take a number back to their tables. Most tables are long, bench-style tables that encourage sharing, and they also have some individuals tables towards the back. Their patio has fire pits and is dog-friendly, which is a big plus so we can bring our mini aussies along! Now to the food & drink. We cannot get enough of our beer sections, love to try their new Smooj flavors, and salivate over the asian-fusion menu. Food always comes out hot, and items come out as they are ready (which you may want to know beforehand if you are with a group). My absolute favorites? The Toga Fries (plain fries tossed in togarashi seasoning, ask for aioli on the side), the Gogi Burrito (bulgogi, beer cheese, fries, goodness), the fresh salad option (I recently had a delicious papaya salad), and their Poke Bowl. We went the other night and tried a side of Coconut Ranch with our fries, and I can't stop thinking about it. This our go-to place when we want to "go out" for drink/eat and avoid downtown, want to bring our pups along, or want to meet friends for a brew. Everyone can find something to enjoy on the menu (kids too -- if you scroll down on their online ordering menu, you'll find the 'Secret Menu' with plain wings, fries, etc. as well as some other sauce options!) I can't wait to try the Homes Campus soon which is down the road! I've noticed that they partner with some of my favorite pop-up trucks (Lucha Puerco, Basil Babe, Juicy Oistre... the crew that works with Side Biscuit, York...all of the favorites in town)! read more

What can I say about this please other than how absolutely lovely. The atmosphere and drinks are. The service is absolutely one of the best. The fireplace during the summer is so nice to be around. Surrounded by friends. One of my favorite worries at all time. read more

First review of 2020 goes to updating my review for Homes for their NYE Tiki Party!! About a week out, we still didn't have plans so when I came across the event on Facebook, we sprung for it! My husband and I can't resist a good tiki party. For $75 a ticket, it included: 3-course buffet, 2 drink tickets. The food was Homes quality. I also liked that they spaced it out -- 8pm for apps, 9pm for entrees and 11pm for dessert! SNACKS * Miso Deviled Eggs - Not very miso-forward but a solid deviled egg! They also had a version without bacon. * Togarashi Pork Rinds - As I mentioned in my previous review, I love Homes' togarashi fries! Their pork rinds are no exception. This totally needs to be on the menu! * Hawaiian Trail Mix - the spiced fruit bits were interesting. I think my standards are just high because I've had homemade japanese chex mix. APPS: * Shrimp Cocktail - Loved the wasabi cocktail sauce that camewith this! * Tuna Poke Tacos - These were AWESOME. Served in a taro shell. They were nicely filled and the poke seemed pretty fresh! * Tempura Sweet Potato Skewers - these were surprisingly good! I didn't try the awesome sauce it was served with as I thought it was pretty good on its own. * Tiki Wings - No complaints! I appreciated that it wasn't dripping in sauce but still had good flavor. MAIN: * Hawaiian Sweet Roll Slider Trio -- solid execution! *Fish Stick Slider - This was my husband's favorite because he said it reminded him of Filet o' Fish. *Kalua Pork Slider - Very fatty pork bits as it should be with kalua pork. *Vegetarian Loco Moco Slider - Awesome flavors on this. If you didn't tell me that it was veggie gravy, I wouldn't be able to tell. DESSERTS * Blank Slate Baked Alaska - this was awesome!!! It had ube and matcha ice cream & the meringue was beautiful. Super impressed. * Hawaiian Jello Mold - Honestly, I didn't try this. It was pretty though! * Pineapple Upside Down Cake - There was an interesting smoky aspect to this! I was also really impressed by the DJ, Prophet Ecks, who is a turntablist! I was impressed by the boxes and boxes of vinyl. The energy and atmosphere was fun enough for us to make it to midnight. All the folks working were GREAT too -- seemed like they were having fun/actually wanted to be there! They also did a fantastic job of coming around to clean up. We'd definitely go again! read more

HOMES is the cutest place ever located in Ann Arbor, but off campus, so you get all walks of life there and not just students. It's dog-friendly, which is always a plus in my book, and it has parking, which is doubly a plus in my book! It has super cute indoor and outdoor spaces, so it's pandemic-friendly (when indoor dining is allowed again). They have digital menus you look through, and then when you're ready, you get a number and wait for it to pop up on the screen (like at the deli counter in a grocery store) and then go up to place your order! Therefore, there's only like one or two parties placing their orders at any given time! Did I mention that the aesthetic is so CUTE?! Shipping containers upon shipping containers, brewery vats (not sure if that's the technical term), cute ways to carry your beer flights back to the table, etc. And most importantly, THE FOOD IS GOOD! As someone who doesn't drink, this is very important for me :) read more

For a great patio experience and some bar food that is out of the ordinary, check out Homes Brewery. Located on the western side of Ann Arbor, it's a unique spot with some delicious food and beverage options. I visited recently on a sunny day with a friend when we wanted to enjoy the weather and try a spot we don't usually go to. He had been to Homes and had talked it up, so I was equally eager to try it out. After arriving and waiting in a short line, we ordered our food, then headed to the bar to grab our drinks. I'm not a beer person, but they had a small selection of wines and I found one that tasted pretty good. We grabbed a seat at the long tables outside (meant for sidling up to a new friend) and admired how many people had their happy-looking dogs out there that day. It was just a short wait later before our food came, and this is where this place really stands out from your local craft brewery. We got the Pho Brisket Buns, and boy oh boy were they tasty! All the flavor of Pho in a flaky bun, with some toga fries on the side -- that's my kind of brewery food! The next time you get a hankering for a new place in Ann Arbor, check out Homes. Like me, you just might find your new favorite place! read more

First things first if you're new to Ann Arbor and want to have great time out with classmates or colleagues this is the place to go to! The vibe is amazing once you walk-in, there's a lot of seating available! I came here with some classmates after we did a escape room together and it was the perfect place to cap the night. The drinks were amazing, they are known for their sours! I got the Hurri, and not pictured here is the boozy cider! Both were amazing. My classmates and I shared the sides and those were also great! I highly recommend checking this place out, especially during the upcoming summer time! read more

We tried to show up a half an hour early for trivia, but had to wait over an hour for a table, and missed trivia entirely. You can order food/drinks from the parking lot but flagging down the server while out there can be hit or miss. We decided to order food once we were seated inside. While the food came out pretty quickly after that, I found it to just be ok. My wife could not eat her fries because they were so over-seasoned and basically inedibly salty. The kimchi fries and wings were ok. Idk that I would come back. read more

Drinks, incredible. Great selection, and something a little different than what you're used to. Highly recommend the Blackberry one! Food, also incredible. Each item has a Korean twist to it. I got the fries with bulgogi, and it had an egg on top. Wow, it was very good. The side size was good enough for me. Atmosphere, I really liked. Inside and outside. Outside has fire pit area which was cool. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great and unique flavors! The Bibimbap sauce was the right amount of spicy and the veggies were well seasoned but cauliflower was a bit al dente. "A little too much cheese, but tasty & gone" is all the reviewer had to say about the hoagie. The fries were crispy with pesto and a lot of chicken and fresh herbs. Beers are great. Can taste the unique flavor profiles of each pour. Easy to drink, and delicious. read more

very cute ambiance, excellent music and overall good vibes for a group of friends to hang out. i will say i thought the food menu was kind of interesting - a lot of asian fusion happening but we were a bit scared to try some of them (pad thai cucumber salad??) we ended up ordering the szechuan lime edamame and korean bbq wings. the lime was a great addition to the edamame, korean bbq wings were also good. i asked for a side of ranch for the wings and they only had the coconut ranch which kind of tasted like ranch with coconut milk lol read more

A surprise find for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed kicking back and grabbing a beer here. They also have what seems to be a Korean inspired menu with bulgogi and kimchi fries. I also heard the wings are bomb. They have a nice large outdoor fire, which gives me bougie camping vibes. Overall a great escape for you to forget you're in Ann Arbor for a little bit. I definitely want to go back. read more

Awesome little spot with PARKING! Large outdoor patios that are doggo friendly and cool indoor outdoor spaces! The food is yummy--asian fusion bar food (think bulgolgi fries/kimchi fries) and the beer is tasty! Covid-wise, they are doing a great job! You wear masks until you get to your table. The menu is viewable via phone QR code, and then you get a number to get up in line to order. There was sanitizer everywhere, and everyone was wearing masks! read more

It was a good vibe. Seating is very casual so you may have to squeeze in with other groups but was a great time. I got a regular beer but definitely feel like the specialty beers here are the SMOOj options. Out of all my friends drinks, I thought those were the most unique and fun. I think food wise, you can't go wrong with any of the fries. read more

Homes is my go-to for great drinks, amazing food, and a great environment! The outdoor seating area is so nice and is really just a great place to gather with friends. Pros: nice servers, fantastic food, fun drink options, great ambience Cons: the location is a little random and a little far from the Ann Arbor downtown area Their bulgogi fries and togarashi fries are phenomenal! read more

THE place for a fun date night or to take out of town guests. You can't beat the drinks + the food. The overall ambience is fun and open. It has a bit of a warehouse feel to it. And did I mention you can bring DOGS? Huge plus in my book. The food is unique and phenomenal. It's not an expansive menu but they do what they have really well! My husband loves the poke bowl while I'm a huge fan of the pad see ew. I need to try the kimchi or bulgogi fries still! And the drinks are exceptional. Everyone in this area has probably heard about the smooj and it is deeeelicious. There's a frozen option you can get at the actual location but I'm a bigger fan of just the can. They add additional alcohol into the slushie ones and I don't think it needs it. Their beers are great too if you're looking for something not as sweet. And the staff are all very friendly. Don't miss this place if you're in the Ann Arbor area! read more

A must try in Ann Arbor! My sister takes all of her guests here when she visits since it's such a crowd pleaser, and we certainly were pleased! I had been before on a previous visit to AA, but fiancee had never been. We stopped by on a Saturday evening ~6:30PM, and it was definitely busy! Luckily, with their open seating arrangement, we were able to snag a few seats at the end of a table outdoors, which was clutch. The ambience at Homes is typical of any brewery - large outdoor seating area with a similarly sized large indoor area and lots of open space. Very modern yet industrial vibes. We ordered our food and beers inside at the bar; our beers were poured right away and our food was brought to us at our seats relatively quickly for the size of the crowd. In terms of the good stuff...my fiancee and I both opted for flights (you can order basically any of their drafts as 4 oz pours). I focused on the sours, whereas he focused on the IPAs. In my opinion, the sours are the way to go at Homes! My favorite was the cynosure - it was so smooth and the flavors of raspberry, blueberry, and lemon perfectly meshed with the hints of vanilla. An awesome summer beer! I also really enjoyed the king cold brew - I was expecting a dark, heavy beer but was pleasantly surprised with the light colored, very refreshing take on a coffee-based beer. Well done! My fiancee really enjoyed all his IPAs, favoring the same same different over all the others. As she was the DD, my sister just went for the blurb sherbert, which she loved and was impressed by the marriage of the blueberry and basil into a refreshing beer. In terms of food, what makes Homes so cool is it's focus on Korean-style food, a very unassuming match for their beer selections! My sister and I both went for for the tuna poke, which was very nice. I loved the inclusion of roasted pineapple as it gave a sweet vibe to the dish - I only wish there was more pineapple to really bring out the flavors. The tuna was decent quality - I've had better cuts, but given that it's a brewery first with a restaurant, the caliber was totally appropriate. My fiancee got the kimchi fries with the bulgogi burrito, and he was still talking about both a week later! He loved the spice in the fries and the unique inclusion of bacon, and he loved that the burrito also had fries in it. Outside of the carb overload, he really did enjoy the flavors that melded together in both dishes. We all really enjoyed our meals, and the accompanying beer was the cherry on top. Overall, we loved our recent visit to Homes and we will 100% be back during our next visit! We were raving about the beers and food to all our Philly friends, and we are still thinking about our experience. Thanks for a fun and tasty addition to our recent AA trip, Homes! read more

Met up after work & had hard cider and Kimchi fries. Be prepared to share a table with other guests during busier times. It was very loud so we couldn't really hear the conversation next to us.

I'm biased here. They specialize in beer styles I love and they pair with excellent Asian inspired food. The vibe is super comfortable and relaxed. Been to Trivia night a few times and it's fun. The outdoor space is great too. Vibrant, upbeat and making excellent beers. Best brewery in Michigan as far as I'm concerned read more

Yup, I'm a fan. This place came recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. It's a cute, trendy vibe and I like the outdoor area with the lights and the fire pit. Nice, weekned vibe. It also has a community-type feel. The tables are kinda close together and they also have some community-tables where you can share with people you didn't come with. Kinda reminds me of Frita Batidos in that sense. I wasn't a fan of the wings at all but I loved the bulgogi fries. I'm going back soon just for those fries. The IPA was also amazing. There was one that tasted fruity and sweet but not overly sweet. I'd defintiely go back and soon. read more

Arriving at Homes, I feared a wait to get in. I could see people standing in groups just outside the door, the parking lot was full, and even the adjoining Walgreen's lot (where a sign directed Homes patrons to seek overflow parking) was filling up. Fortunately, there were plenty of seats inside, and even a few to be found on the patio area, an obvious draw on a warm midsummer night. The line for service at the bar wasn't too long. In a little over five minutes we were headed to the patio with our five-beer sample flight. The MBA King Cold Brew double cream ale was impressive, though not a summer quaffer by any means. The Citra Flow session ale was a bit of a nonentity, but the three hazy IPAs were good, and it was tough to pick which to order in a pint. We ended up going with the Confetti Cannon and Pipes, both of which were a little drier than most versions of this style, piney but only mildly so. The sweeter, pineappley Same Same Different was enjoyable, though really not so different from many NEIPAs I've had. We didn't order food, but the dishes we saw going by looked and smelled great. Some of the reviews here gave us pause about eating here before, but seeing it close up pushed those out of my mind. Soon... read more

As for beer goes, I tried six of nine they offered, but my favorite has to be Same Same Different... but this review is more about their food. Between four of us, we ordered the following items: * Edamame * Okonomiyaki Fries * Kimchi Fries * Korean BBQ Chicken Wings * Togarashi Chicken Wings * Sichuan Chicken Wings * Pork Belly bao with Toga Fries * Bulgogi bao with Sesame salad * Katsu Sando with Sesame salad * Bibimbap with Bulgogi Yes, this is lot of food, but don't worry, when it comes to portion size, it's very small... Before I start, it's my understanding that their menu changed since they opened, it seems that their menu is fusion food with Korean theme. I want to say that most of all the food we had were very salty and sweet, which goes well with beer... all the foods are marketed towards the American palate. So, here's my honest feedback of each food items. - Edamame - They tried to take this dish to next level but they should kept this dish to it's simplest form - boiled and topped with sea salt. I would recommend they remove the sesame oil from the dish. - Okonomiyaki Fries - I like the idea of this dish, but it failed to deliver. First, the fries came out cold, which meant the dish was sitting there until it got picked up or they used cold fries to make the dish... I expected the dish to be piping hot, just like Okonomiyaki. Second, the use of sauces were lacking. I expected sauces to cover the entire dish, just like real okonomiyaki. What would I change about this dish? 1) use hot fries, 2) add fresh shredded cabbage, 3) drench it with sauces, 4) top it with bonito flakes and 5) top it off with more sliced green onions and either leave the pickled gingers out or set them on the side. - Kimchi Fries - sorry, this dish gotta go! Placing cold kimchi on top of cold fries is not a good combination and the Kimchi they used was very salty. I did not see any cheese in the dish, the gochujang sauce was too sweet and like the Okonomiyaki fries, the dish lacked sauce to fries ratio. What would I change about this dish? 1) Saute the Kimchi with Onions in butter, 2) give customers options to add extra protein and 3) use more sauce... to build, hot fries, sprinkle cheese on top, sautéed kimchi and onions on top, lots of sauce, top it off with either green onions and nori - remove the gochujang sauce. - Korean BBQ Chicken Wings - this was my favorite, you get 5 wings per order and this dish reminded me of kangpunggi, I would definitely order this again. - Togarashi Chicken Wings & Sichuan Chicken Wings - if you like spicy wings, then these two will satisfy your taste buds. - Pork Belly bao with Toga Fries - this was decent, but can't say it's the best in town. Pork belly was the only thing I liked from this dish, the bun was bit dry. - Bulgogi bao with Sesame salad - Salad was that, salad, but bulgogi was very salty. Overall, the bulgogi didn't go well with the bun. The meat looked like it was overcooked cooked or the cooked meat was left on the flat top until an order came in. - Katsu Sando with Sesame salad - I like their concept, but something was missing... I still can't figure it out... the whole dish didn't come together for me... the flavor balance wasn't there for me. - Bibimbap - If you like sweetness then this dish is for you. The veggies to rice to the gochujang were all too sweet, we only consume as much as we could before giving it up. Please get back to basics of the dish. If you need help, let me know!! Overall, decent place, but unfortunately, I can only give 1. 5 stars based upon the food they serve - too salty and sweet. Service was also a miss, as some servers were walking around looking for tables with the numbers... I had same server walk by my table few times before that person finally realized the order was for us. Ordering food and beer was challenge... you can order both at the bar or use the overflow line, but if you opened a tap and want to cash out, you can only do it at the bar and not from the overflow order line. I hope they work on this as it can get hectic when the place is very busy. I'll be back, but I hope they work on their recipe and balance out the sweet/saltiness of their food. Until next time. read more

Stopped by Homes for a quick beer after a wonderful day hanging out in Ann Arbor. What a stellar find! Love the open air seating and overall vibe.

My review is just based on the beer. Love the outside area here with all the fire puts. It's probably great in the summer especially. Luckily we secured a seat at the bar. I'm not one who loves the whole communal seating. Homes was very busy when we came by today. The bartenders were great. We were greeted immediately and given waters. We tried a few beers. The Same Same Different IPA, Milkshake IPA, and the King Cold Brew. All were pretty different and I really loved the King Cold Brew. It was very unique.

I remember this place. Sort of... We were pretty far into our brewery tour at this point. I am pretty sure this marked 15 beers (,5 oz). I'm not really sure about too much else. Let's see. We got to sit on the patio. This makes me very happy! Aside from brunch...or breweries, sitting on a patio makes me happy! I love the spring/summer...I hate air conditioning. I love beer. So this place was perfect. Now I have one more stop after this. And I'll be honest. I hardly remember it. So my reviews likely suck. But I had fun!! read more

We tried Homes on a whim and we were quite pleased with the decision! For starters, the guys really enjoyed the beer...I'm not a drinker so I can't give much of an opinion that, only that they really enjoyed the couple they ordered. I am a huge fan of poutine, so we ordered the Chicken Basil Fries and Bulgogi Fries. They have two sizes and I did the large, which was a really nice amount of food! The flavors were nice and I would definitely order the Chicken Basil again!! The service was good as well, friendly, and patient as I tried to figure out what to order. I will definitely go back to Homes!! Oh, and eating outside was nice as well!! read more
