Once you're in, the venue is astonishing because it doesn't look like it could house a full stage and bar area from the outside, but it sure can! The food menu is alright, just bar food to keep you going as you drink. If it's crowded, you may have a wait for a server as my table did, but I'll definitely be back. Come here for shows and entertainment. You'll be surprised at the headliners. For instance, comedian Joe Torrey will be there in December.

I found that their drinks are expensive, the dance floor is hard to dance on, and the vibes just didn't hit for me. I would come back only for someone who's never been to try it out, but I would push to go somewhere else when choosing a place for a night out linedancing.

It you've never been to the Magic Bag, it's a strange set up. The crowd area is split up into tiers…read morewith built in seating around the edges of these tiers, and then open areas in between the seating for dancing or gathering. The audio for show we went to could have been better. The bass was blown out and all instruments were super low in the mix. In my opinion, the drink were a bit over priced too. The bathrooms were clean though.

The bartenders were great and I was shocked when a waitress actually was working the floor. Hanna was excellent, she was very kind and efficient. Great job Magic Bag, we will be back for more fun times!

Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.

This place is "off the map", in a way. Younger locals know that it's a place where you can see an…read moreart opening or hear a band play. My first experience there happened to be a photo shoot that my friend Sarah did for her Alter Ego exhibition. I was very impressed by the studio space -- it was very roomy. In one part I saw Roost Roast's coffee roasting equipment (but no sign of Roost to bug him for a cup!). There was also a desk hosting a vintage typewriter and a curious manuscript. Another section had interesting tye dyed shirts? My friend Paul's spot had some equipment for music, and it was actually his band that I got to see perform later on in that space. It was very nice, you'll see familiar faces around town. It's non-smoking, but that's ok because the porch is a very cozy place to light one. You get a great view of the night sky -- plus it's juuuust far enough from downtown to be able to kick back and relax.

Love that there's a parking lot and that it's close enough to downtown for walking, but far enough that it has that tucked-away, off-the-beaten-path vibe. The porch is a cool place to hang out and strike up a conversation with a stranger. There is only one small bathroom, which is definitely a bummer, but I can deal considering the opportunities Yellow Barn affords for the talented go-getters in this town.

The Halfass holds such a special place in my heart, that I'm not sure that a simple review can…read morereally do it justice. Sure, it sucks that that new management came in a few years ago and painted over a lot of the old scribblings. The place has luckily regained more posters & records covers, etc. to adorn the walls. You know what? The kids here are still kinda the same -- at least in all of the important ways. When I played a show here a coupla years ago, I met a super-cool gal who reminded me of a reflection of myself at 19 or 20 -- into poetry and rock and roll. We chatted about X, and I knew that the Halfass was in good hands of this next generation. This is where I ate many greasy pounds of tempeh and curly fries in school. It's also where I poured my broken 19-yr old heart out to friends working behind the counter, then used my meal card to buy and down an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's. Not too much later, I got to do my laundry (the washers were right on the other side of the wall) while watching Low. Throughout the years the EQMC consistently brings in great bands -- both local and touring. They also provided a home for the first few ever Bang! dance parties. I first spotted my current sweetheart here. I brought him along to a show here to get the official stamp of approval from a best friend while seeing Saturday Looks Good to Me. Who knows -- without the trifecta of the Halfass, the Pirate House (RIP), and the downtown A2 Kinko's, my life may have taken a very different course. But thankfully, the Halfass was and remains there -- providing delicious greasy-ass food, pretty reliably great people, and a little incubator for musicians and students with plenty of all-ages shows.

The first show I went to here, I left bored to get a sandwich from jimmy john's. When I came back, which was nice enough that it was allowed, I came back in time for some punk to try to steal money after jumping on stage and 'rapping'. It's nice to have some of the Detroit bands out in ann arbor, but if you have a car, it's nothing you couldn't see every week in Detroit or Ypsilanti.

They had one bartender for a large turnout. We ordered two beers, received to whiskeys instead...not a complete complaint. They also charged extra money at the door for minors.
