the room

A prohibition-era speakeasy and supper club in downtown Ann Arbor.

The building went up in 1868, and Main Street has been drinking in it, on and off the record, ever since. We took over in 2011, kept the lights low, and got back to work — a prohibition-era speakeasy and supper club, run like a good bar should be.

The kitchen cooks from scratch. The bar makes its own bitters and pours classic cocktails with a steady hand, plus a zero-proof program that gets the same care. And behind it all is The Whiskey Library — Ann Arbor’s deepest shelf, bourbon and rye alongside Scotch, Irish, and Japanese whiskey, kept seriously and poured without ceremony. On the right nights, a jazz trio plays.

No costume, no fuss. Just the room at nine o’clock, the way it has been for years.

The kitchen

Supper-club cooking from scratch — small plates through supper and dessert, cooked to order, changing with the season and the market. The menu carries tonight’s card.

The bar

Classic cocktails, a seasonal list, housemade bitters and ginger beer, a short wine list built to drink with the food, and a zero-proof program that gets the same care.

The Whiskey Library

Ann Arbor’s deepest pour. Bourbon, rye, Scotch, Irish, and Japanese whiskey, neat or on a big rock or in a flight, with Special Collections for the rare bottles. Browse the shelf.

The music

Live jazz under low light, never a cover. A standing weekly set and dated shows on the calendar — the live music page has the schedule.
