the bar
- What is The Whiskey Library?
- Our whiskey program, and the deepest shelf in Ann Arbor: bourbon, rye, Scotch, Irish, and Japanese whiskey, kept seriously and poured without ceremony since 2011. Neat, on a big rock, or set side by side in a flight. Ask for Special Collections if you're after the rare stuff. Browse the Whiskey Library
- Can I order a whiskey flight or a tasting?
- Yes. Flights any night — tell the bar what you like and we'll set a few side by side. Guided tastings for a group are arranged ahead of time through the private events page. The Whiskey Library
- What kind of cocktails do you make?
- Classics with a steady hand — the drinks that earned their names — plus a seasonal list, housemade bitters, and a ginger beer list of its own. The bar is happy to take a request. See the cocktail list
- Is there a zero-proof menu?
- Yes. The zero-proof program gets the same care as the cocktail list — housemade bitters, fresh juice, real technique. Spirit-free, never an afterthought. Zero-proof
