Uplift Ann Arbor · Old West Side • $$
Ann Arbor's queer gathering spot where everyone's welcome. Expect drag brunches, trivia nights, RuPaul watch parties, and a bar designed with accessibility in mind—movable tables and a lowered counter section.
December 5
Bløm Mead + Cider · Old Fourth Ward • $
The mead here completely changes expectations: dry, carbonated, and sessionable at 4 to 6 percent ABV, not heavy or cloying. Sip Michigan-made ciders and aperitivos while playing board games in a warm, community-minded downtown taproom.
Old Fourth Ward • $$
A cozy basement wine bar where board game nights meet rotating wines and shareable bites. Vault of Midnight hosts regular game sessions in this welcoming neighborhood spot beneath Grizzly Peak Brewing.
The Hidden King - Neighborhood Bar · Old Fourth Ward • $
A 140-year-old German beer hall turned cozy cocktail den, where historic Ann Arbor photos line the walls and chess boards invite you to linger. Come for the cold brew martini and house-made tonic, stay to lose track of time.
Browse Ann Arbor neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.

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.
