Great beer selection and an incredible food menu. It's great to have a place like this in this part of Ann Arbor. You can avoid some of the hassles of downtown (still love to go there) and have a great food day drink experience without worries about where to park. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at a big plus. Try the Kung Pau wings! read more

RAPPOURT - Bars Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

This is my favorite spot for happy hour on the north side of town. The beer list is huge and there are constantly new brews rotating on and off. They previously only had beer and wine (a good selection, my wine buff friends tell me), but have added liquor within the last year, which was a great addition. I've snacked here but I can't vouch for whether or not it's good for a full meal. Wings are good, as well as some of the other finger food apps. There are some board games to play while hanging out, as well as some TVs if there's a game on. Service is good too! read more

We ordered take out and the toast cheese sandwich is good. But the sauce was too light. But it's overall a good meal;)

The truffle fries are definitely the bees knees people! The other reviews are speaking the truth. A lot of different beers on tap to choice from as well and wine for days. The staff was super friendly and informative of questions I asked and atmosphere was awesome with crafty lighting fixtures and paintings on the walls. read more

It is typically quite loud in there, but the draft selection is excellent and the specials are often quite delicious!

What a find! My husband loves craft beers and he was not disappointed! Liked that they offered to let us try the selections we made first. We really like the menu as well. The bartender recommended the spicy chicken wrap, it was delicious especially paired with the truffle fries! My mother orders the Kung Pao wings, perfectly cooked and seasoned! We really recommend everyone to try this place out. The staff is wonderful and super helpful! read more

I give this place 2 stars solely because of the nice beer selection and friendly/helpful staff. If it were based only on the food, it would easily be 1 star at best. Before I continue, I will say that the poutine was tasty; a lot of other places seem to mess it up somehow, but it was good here. That being said, I also ordered the shrimp w/ risotto, crab cakes, Rappourt burger, and moussaka lasagnette (lasagna). I thought long and hard about it, and I can honestly say that, although pretty to look at, the shrimp w/ risotto is probably the worst dish I have ever eaten at a restaurant, and the first to compel me to leave a review anywhere. The risotto was overcooked and mushy, as were the beans it came with, and the entire dish (shrimp, beans, risotto, sauce) were completely flavorless. Not an ounce of seasoning to be found. The risotto tasted like water (which is almost impressive, considering how risotto is made), except with an unpleasant texture. The only thing that led me to take a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th bite was the hope that that bite would be better than the last. I was repeatedly disappointed. The crab cakes had the problem of simultaneously having too little and too much. Too little in the sense that there was nothing (herbs, seasoning, vegetables, or other things usually mixed into crab cakes) inside besides crab and bread crumbs, and too much in that there seemed to be more breading than actual crab meat. The result was a very doughy patty with little flavor and a sickly texture. The lime aioli it came with was fine, but the problem there was that it came with only two blobs the size of a penny. For $15, it would also have been nice if there were more than two crab cakes, seeing as they were not large portions. The moussaka lasagnette, according to the menu, is supposed to come with lamb, fried eggplant, and goat cheese. What we were served tasted fine, but also included only one of those three. Absolutely zero eggplant or goat cheese was to be found. We kept searching the dish for the missing ingredients, thinking maybe there just weren't large pieces. When brought to a staff member's attention, even though we had accidentally eaten much of the dish, he was very kind and took it off our bill in good faith. Unfortunately, the second best dish we ordered was the burger. It wasn't awful, but it was extremely greasy, and fell apart immediately upon taking the first bites. The bun was very plain, and the only topping that could be tasted was the tomatoes. I do realize that not every restaurant is intended to be a gourmet dining experience, and that some places do some things better than others. I am also a big advocate of being understanding when mistakes happen in the kitchen, as it is often very long and grueling work. However, there is no excuse for food of this low caliber. I would have been disappointed even if it were half-off. It is possible that today was a very off day for the kitchen at Rappourt, but I am confident when I say that I will not consider coming here for anything other than perhaps a few beers and possibly a side of poutine. read more

I've always liked this place, but tonight was different. Food was good except for the cold tough tortilla on the shrimp taco. When I wanted to buy over priced to go bottles, i was hassled about my tab, and basically called a liar. I chose not to buy them. When i asked for my tab i was grated with a very rude response. Obviously customer service is a problem, or at least was this night. read more

The atmosphere is really great and they have beer, liquor and wine. The food is mediocre. I got the wings and they were just okay. The beer selection is great so I would eat before I go. read more

I love their diverse beer selection. They'll have a good number of quality options for any type of beer that you like. I love sours, and they tend to always have about four options that also happen to be very tasty. Their fries are also on point. The bartenders are always nice, even when it gets super busy in here. Love to have this place so close to where we live. Oh, and their happy hour is great. Around 5 beer options each $3.50, plus discounted shareables (appetizers). read more

I think this place is off to a great start! You order at the bar first, then you find a place to sit at community/picnic-style tables. I ordered a Bloody Orange Honey pale ale which was delicious! They had a fantastic selection of local craft beers, I was truly impressed. We also ordered dinner, a BLT and a fried chicken sandwich. The BLT was insane, made with fried green tomatoes, pickled onions, and a fried egg to top off the deliciousness. It was comforting because BLTs are classic, but the added dimensions of the extra ingredients was perfect. The buttermilk fried chicken was cooked PERFECTLY, and was topped with a chorizo gravy which was so good. I thoroughly enjoyed the food! My only qualms are with the bread, and the breading! Both of the sandwiches had pretty unremarkable bread, I felt it was crumbly and didn't really serve a purpose other than delivering the food. I love a good bread with my sandwiches, so that was disappointing. And while the chicken was AMAZING, the fried goodness surrounding it fell off super easily, leaving a very naked chicken cutlet. Regardless, I'm excited to see this place develop, and I think it's off to a great start! Go and try it out, I know I'll be back. read more

We had a great time tonight at Rappourt Brew & Chew! My friend and I both ordered the Rappourt burger and truffle fries and got beers. We loved the food and would be back again to order another burger or try other options on the menu. Great service and friendly staff too. read more

Had a great veggie burger here at noon on a Monday and was served immediately. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Yay! A new place in northeast Ann Arbor! During their soft opening their beer menu is solid--currently loaded with tried and true good beer to please any palate (except the Bud Light lovers of the world), and I look forward to it becoming more and more expansive as time goes on. The food is also good. The truffle fries were crispy (and for that reason I imagine they'd be awesome in a poutine), and the beet and kale salad was tasty (and as someone who is OCD about salad greens, they were fresh and crisp), the mahi mahi was solid, but the enchilada... holy cow that was the best. The service is great--you can tell this is a labor of love, and they're doing their best to please. I'll miss the Wine Seller, but Rappourt will make those pangs go away fast. read more

Beer list is on point and the food is incredible! I really love the seating, I always end up meeting someone cool! My only gripe is that they didn't build it closer to my house. Really wish they would have thought about people like me who live so far away ;) read more

They're still open and STILL as good as ever. The wings they have here are ridiculous and we get a different flavor every time. The Brussel sprouts are a must. If you can get there while there are still truffle fries they are delicious. The selection of beer is incredible. Absolutely love this place and we look forward to coming here more often now that we've moved closer. read more

Those of us on the north side of Ann Arbor are so lucky to have Rappourt open up! We came here their first week open, and ordered Rappourt burgers and 2 of the different beers on tap. Seating is at the bar or at a long table, similar to a beer garden. The burgers were absolutely delicious, and our beers were both excellent. They have a huge range of beers on tap, and the bar tenders will give a sample if you want to try something to help you make a selection. Service was great. They also sell a great variety of wines. All around a perfect pub dinner date experience! read more

Happy to have a laid back, kid friendly place to eat & drink in northeast Ann Arbor. Impressive craft beer list & food was delicious. We had the kale salad & appetizers: risotto balls, Brussels sprouts. Yum. Our kids had chicken strips. Happy Hour all day Sunday! read more

Great atmosphere. Beer selection is solid, with some hard to find options. Food is very good also.

Great gem of a place! I loved my Mojo Chicken Tacos and hubby loved the burger. Nice clean place with amazing choice of craft brews. read more

RAPPOURT - 46 taps of great beer and some wine. - Bars Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Good bar food, nice drink selection and they have cocktails now. Nice environment in a nice neighborhood that needed a bar! TVs for sports as well. The brothers who run the place are nice guys on top of it all. read more

I have lived in NE A2 for many years and have never been so excited for a new addition to the area. Beer, burgers, sandwiches, more beer, salads, entrees, even more beer, beer. This place has it all in a charming, understated space. Enjoy a meal and a few Michigan brews at rappourt and you won't be disappointed. This place will swallow my pay check. read more

There is a great wine and beer selection at this much needed pub near North Campus. Unfortunately, the food that is dressed up in hip ingredients falls flat. We had all of the starters as well as wings and tacos. Everything was just ok but definitely not outstanding. My soft taco shells hadn't been heated, the slaw was overdressed in a mayo sauce, and the menu should really indicate that the chicken on the tacos is a fried chicken tender. Bleh. The truffle fries had no hint of truffle oil or parmesan, and everything else was just a fried, tasteless ______ (fill in the blank). Even the brussel sprouts seemed fried and blah. This place is new, so I hope they figure out how to make good food. read more

Yes! Finally, a gastropub with emphasis on the gastro; "Chew" is a third of the name anyway... Gutted doesn't even come close to describing the disappointment I felt as I tasted my first bite of the Mousaka Lasagnette. The dish was completely devoid of seasoning; this was especially upsetting because it was such a cool menu idea! My cohort's burgers looked equally unappetizing, and my fiance's Fried Tomatillo BLT was completely ruined by unfathomably thick, stale ciabatta (though the sandwich's other contents were delicious). The beer selection is fair, and if one is to stick to foods from the deep-fryer, then Rappourt is a completely acceptable option. My hope is that the kitchen catches up to the rest of the establishment, soon; the staff is friendly, service is good and the restaurant seems to be pretty clean. Ann Arbor has better options for food, and better options for drink; to master both would make the place a slam-drunk. read more

Good beer but waited over an hour to get served our burgers. Brought it to bar tenders attention and he said two more minutes. No apology or anything for our order getting overlooked. Brought it to another bar tenders attention after another 15 minutes and food finally came out. She gave us 50% off the bill. The food was okay but definitely not worth the wait. I've had better burgers elsewhere. read more

I visited Rappourt Brew & Chew with my girlfriend and some friends from work for dinner, and had a mixed experience. I'd been meaning to try Rappourt for a while, since it's really close to where I work and has a good reputation. After we parked at the shopping complex, we quickly walked through what looked like a mini mall and entered Rappourt. The environment in Rappourt is very 'hip,' with a mixture of bench seating, wood paneling, warm lighting and a lengthy bar. The crowd seemed pretty young, and most groups were small (no more than five people each). We ordered immediately, and quickly paid at the bar. I ordered a Centro City Grinder, which cost me $11 and comes with fries. We sat at a table, and patiently waited for our respective orders. After literally 40 minutes, we were finally served in rapid succession; needless to say we were famished and irritated. My Grinder was better than fast-food chain versions, but nothing I would write home about. The fries however, were sublime; they perfectly balanced the potato-flavor with seasoning, and I regretted not ordering fries exclusively. Overall, I'd recommend giving Rappourt a try for the fries alone, but make sure you aren't time-pressed during your visit. read more

See all

I like this place- big, spacious. Food was delicious and beer selection was top notch. Can't wait to go back! read more

RAPPOURT - Kale and Beet salad- very BIG and very good - Bars Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I tried the Rappourt burger and it had a different twist to it that I definitely liked. Loved the atmosphere which was chill with big tables that are great for big groups. read more

Good stuff in a convenient area. Amazing beer selection (competes with any in Ann Arbor) and the food was good.

Note: This review is about the space only. I did not eat here. I just wanted to say that my date and I walked in here on a Saturday evening, hoping for an intimate date-night dinner, but that is impossible here. All of the seating is either at the bar or at tables that seat at least eight people(?). There are no two-tops or four-tops. Perhaps if you're the kind of extrovert who doesn't mind being seated with a bunch of strangers, this would work out. I am not that person. If you're looking for a place with some intimacy, I cannot emphasize this enough: THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE. We took a look around, were instantly put off by the seating situation, and walked right back out. If the food's good, I'll never know, because this place was not built for people like me. If I ever hear that they've changed up their seating so it's possible to get a table for two, maybe I'll give it another try, but not until then. read more

Awesome beer selection. Rappourt burger and fries are excellent, as are the brussel sprouts. Northeast AA really needed a place like this! read more

Terrible portions for such high prices. The fries were really good though. Also, my stomach didn't feel so good afterwards.

I wouldn't entirely classify this place as a bar. While it serves drinks and has "bar foods" it's certainly more than just a communal place to gather and drink. The vibe is very welcoming and relaxed. The tables have benches as well as stand alone chairs and the bar top has ample seats as well. There are multiple TVs playing sports with volumes on mute as to not interfere with your own concertations. And ample beer selection and and excellent sangria. The best part, there was happy hour. Yes happy hour on a Sunday. I would certainly come back and try food. read more

Great food, I had the BBQ wings and my boyfriend had the firecracker shrimp sandwich. Multiple wine/ beer options. And great prices. Nice hidden gem in Ann Arbor:) read more

Good service! Great choice of local beer! Decent prices! I love their happy hours.. and probably the most favorite place in Plymouth road.

Great atmosphere and beer selection, but food is probably 2 starts. I tried a couple of different dishes but no flavor, boring...nothing stands out. read more

Really chill atmosphere and quality food. I had A2 burger, it was outstanding. Per the recommendation of several reviews, we tried the truffle fries. We thought they were nothing special. The beer selection is fantastic, with over forty tap handles (including Founders, which had multiple handles). read more

I am the harshest critic ever. Just read my reviews and a 4 star one is rare. This place is full of great beer and has a quaint, charming atmosphere. A little rough around the edges as it is new so I won't take away any points here. You order at the counter and are given a number for your table (shared, probably, with strangers). As you wait you can sit back and sip on a delicious brew (Strawberry Short's Cake FTW) and anxiously await that BLT. Now, this BLT is perhaps one of the best I have ever had. With a fried egg, a lemon-something aioli, and crispy bacon, I died and went to heaven. I wanted to devour it in one bite. Also tried the fried chicken sandwich with chorizo country gravy which was just ok but the chicken was cooked perfectly and the skin was extra crispy. The fries are a must here. Beer-battered with no need for any condiment, these are fries. These are what fries are meant to be. If you want beer, a great BLT, and the chance to listen in on strangers' conversations right next to you, this is a good place. Thanks, old wine store! I'll be back! read more

I come here every few weeks with friends and it never disappoints. This is a modern looking bar, complete with a loft appearance with visible beams and mixed wood/metal tables. The beer selection is very extensive and rotates pretty frequently. The garlic fries are amazing. Seating is generally not an issue and the waitstaff are friendly. Also, it's the only bar that I know of in the north part of town, which is worth major bonus points. read more

The menu offers a variety of fresh and new inspiring ideas when it comes to food. I had the chicken ciabatta and added honey Dijon mustard to it. It was excellent, I also tried the poutine fries and the risotto balls. All were wonderful. The decor and atmosphere were clearly planned out and reflected a modern theme. This is a restaurant serves beer, I by no means like beer but they had a large selection of cider and wines available as well. Service was friendly and very attentive. I will be going back! read more
