Old Fourth Ward • $$$
Part wine shop, part dinner party, Spencer feels like a meal at your coolest chef friend's house. Chef Abby Olitzky's monthly set menu draws on local farms, paired with a James Beard-nodded wine list.
Old Fourth Ward
Three floors of Asian fusion ambition: casual plates downstairs, a moody sushi bar above, and Ann Arbor's only omakase, where chefs craft courses from fish flown in straight from Japan.
Ann Arbor
Rob and Stacey DeAngelis run a welcoming winery where generous pours and warm conversation flow as freely as the all-natural, low-sugar wines they craft.
Dicken
Hidden behind a brewery, Suite 103 is a dimly lit speakeasy where jazz-age tunes set the mood for creative cocktails and small plates. Sink into the vintage decor and let the 1920s vibe transport you.

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.
