Echelon Kitchen and Bar · Old Fourth Ward • $$$$
Echelon's Wednesday and Thursday tasting menu unfolds across five courses—from Kanpachi Crudo to Wood-Roasted Maitake to Wagyu Bavette—with wine pairings for each dish.
Old Fourth Ward • $$$
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.
Old West Side
Fine dining from a food truck sounds like a contradiction until you taste the wood-roasted prawns and chilled corn soup here. The chef brings serious global training to every dish: complex, layered flavors that keep you guessing in the best way.
Blue LLama Jazz Club and Restaurant · Old Fourth Ward • $$
Blue LLama pairs live jazz performances with a menu of Afro-Caribbean dishes. The lounge features a piano-shaped layout where every table offers a clear view of the stage.

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.
