Babs' Underground Lounge

I've been here twice and both times my drinks have been good. Of course, I had wine so it's hard to mess that up. My husband did not like his Old Fashioned that he had. Way too much bitters. Even I could tell that it was off just by the color of it. The ambiance of the bar is fantastic though. I love the underground vibe there.

I don't normally do this but when I went tonight I got treated poorly by the bartending staff. Typically I can brush most things off but when it's the staff being rude and seeking some sort of conflict I can't let it slide. Maybe it was just a bad day for the bartenders but I can't recommend bad service and paying seven dollars for a beer. The ambiance is alright and smelled a little funky. Almost like puke. If I went in the earlier hours of the day perhaps I would've had a better experience. However, rude service, expensive drinks, and funky smells do not suit my night life experience go somewhere else to spend your money at. There's too many options in the area to be treated poorly by staff.

Babs has that cool speakeasy vibe with young college atmosphere. The group I went with called it a speakeasy but for those of us who have been to an actual speakeasy, it's not. It's labeled! Anywho, pretty decent drink menu and I think they had some munchies. Pretty chill place that I can see someone coming to who is down to go out on the town but doesn't want to hit up the club. Great people watching also.

Wow!!! On our way to Toledo, we stopped to do a little sight seeing in Anne Arbor, MI to check out the University of Michigan and came across this gem. I have to say Bab's is a pretty amazing speakeasy bar. The ambience was definitely gorgeous but the best part of the EXPERIENCE was the customer service. Megan was phenomenal and is a true mixologist. You can tell she loves her craft and takes a lot of pride in her creations. I would highly recommend visiting Bab's to have the same experience we had. Definitely try their Banana Coconut Espresso Martini, The Angry Bird, and their Raspberry Rain Martini.

I heard about this place and was curious about it. I recently on a whim decided to go with my coworkers and lowkey when I saw the entrance door it kinda looked like a therapist office. Inside there are pool tables and has a nice bar and big space for people to chit chat. The bartender Anthony is super nice and showed us the different drinks. I have to say I enjoyed the la anciana the best strong but sweet. They own different establishments as well so overall good vibes. If you want to play pool you can get the balls at the bar. It closes at like 2 but nearby is the fleetwood diner so that is always a plussss

I love that the place is actually underground. Swanky! Good cocktails and they have pool tables. A nice date night spot.

After our lesson than stellar dinner, we came here for nostalgic reasons. Ann Arbor was my stomping grounds around 30 years ago, then, in the mid-90's, a friend and I were called in off Liberty Street to check out a new place just opening call Bab's Liberty Street Piano Bar. And Babs was the one who hauled us in. It was a great place. Though it didn't last very long, then I heard of this place. Turns out it was the same Babs, though she sold it several years ago. But it remains a great place! We had a couple cocktails and enjoyed the covid stricken atmosphere which they've done well to adapt. And the barten. . .wait. . .he was a real mixologist if you ask me. Great info and accessories on their version of a Toronto. She opted for margaritas. Great work guys!!

I've been coming to this place because I really enjoy the music and the atmosphere. However the service from the bartenders is terrible. I was told that the bartenders "don't work for free" and refused service over a tipping dispute for a $10 bill. The bartenders then continued to discriminate against me even after I told them I would just give them the tip they felt they deserved and had me thrown out of the bar by security guards forcefully even though I was prepared to leave calmly.

cool bar with great drinks and enjoyable music. Megan is fantastic and free pool on Tuesdays.

Amazing service and great music. Megan makes the best cocktails in town. By far best bar in town.
