November 12 at 4pm
Bløm Mead + Cider · Old Fourth Ward • $
Forget what you think you know about mead: Bløm's pours are dry, bubbly, and sessionable. This happy hour knocks a buck off every 12oz pour, so grab a board game and settle in.
Vinology Restaurant & Event Space · Old West Side • $20
Sip through eight spring-ready pours — floral reds, crisp rosés, and chilled whites — while grazing on charcuterie and snagging a complimentary tote. It's a relaxed, social evening that feels like a mini escape into wine country without leaving Ann Arbor.
Uplift Ann Arbor · Old West Side • $$
Ann Arbor's queer gathering spot where everyone's welcome. Expect drag brunches, trivia nights, RuPaul watch parties, and a bar designed with accessibility in mind—movable tables and a lowered counter section.
December 5
Bløm Mead + Cider · Old Fourth Ward • $
The mead here completely changes expectations: dry, carbonated, and sessionable at 4 to 6 percent ABV, not heavy or cloying. Sip Michigan-made ciders and aperitivos while playing board games in a warm, community-minded downtown taproom.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
