Ann Arbor’s only Spanish restaurant serves traditional and modern tapas with a wide selection of Spanish wines. In the middle of the boisterous dining room is the large bar where bartenders create cocktails using complex techniques. The bright white bar top allows patrons to fully appreciate the exotic presentations.

Drinks & Nightlife

Underground locale is a true embodiment of the speakeasy genre — hidden and dimly-lit with vintage decor. Live jazz or DJs accompany the well-dressed bartenders serving selections from a book-themed menu.

Nightcap is a lot of things. First, and foremost, a place for those who know an excellent cocktail. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and technique expressed is unmatched. Whether you're looking for that bourbon that finishes long, the daiquiri that brings you back to the islands, or Fernet to bring your breath back in check... it's there for you. The staff are knowledgeable and warm-- be nice and they may show you some extra love!

Ann Arbor Distilling Company officially opened to the public in late 2015 and has quickly made a name for itself with its distinctive line of scratch made spirits using locally-sourced ingredients. The Tasting Room at the distillery features a dozen eclectic cocktails designed to showcase the distillery's gin, rum, and vodka, all prepared with house mixers.

Parks & Nature

This is a nice place to take a walk through the woods in the middle of town. All the trails are wide so you won't get lost. There's a little visitor center at the entrance where you can pick up maps and refreshments.
