This was a good stop on our bar crawl. The staff were friendly and helpful and fast. And the drinks were good. Only complaint is they only have 2 single person restrooms available for the whole bar and it was absolutely packed. So the line for the restroom was excessive.

Place is just a gem. Relaxed atmosphere. Beer selection... Incredible, of course. Staff is great, fun. Service is tip top. Order a beer and it's there literally in seconds, much of the time. Music great. Vibes great. Try to visit every weekend.
Love the Grotto, great beer, best destination for me and the doggo after a long walk. I mostly love the music but as someone older, I prefer something chill, fun and mellow, especially early afternoon.

Great beer and bourbon selection with rotating taps. A bit of a small location with limited seating when the weather is nice.

Great bar, great beer selection and chill space. Mellow enough that you can have a conversation if you want to, and the building is neat. Neighborhoody feel and right across from Fleetwood. Yes Ann Arbor has lots of bars but this one occupies a

Great place to go out with friends. They have a very nice selection of liquors and tons of beer on tap. Their digital ordering system streamlines your order right to the bartender. It makes getting drinks easy and fast, even on busy nights. Even easier to cash out at the end of the night too. Great spot.
Awful place with staff and management who can’t control their anger. I understand busy nights can be stressful on staff, but there are no excuses for physical violence towards customers. There are SO many great bars in Ann Arbor- find a better place to support.

Staff and management have difficulty controlling their anger. Witnessed a server physically assault a customer and when management was requested, she threatened physical violence as well. Truly appalling behavior. There are so many great bars in Ann Arbor- find a better one to support than the grotto

This used to be my jam. My place to go and try new things. Haven't been there in a few years walked in couldn't get eye contact from server asks for a menu told us we could go to a table still no eye contact. Normally I'd try three things to see what I liked was offered nothing. We were kind blown at the lack of service and disrespect won't be back. Pre pandemic we went once a week but definitely not anymore when treated like trash.

Just stopped in for a drink. Generous pours and great atmosphere.
