Lo-Fi

Great venue for live shows and for dancing. I appreciate that it's a smaller space so it definitely feels more intimate and not as chaotic as other places might get. There's a good amount of seating and their drink prices are reasonable. Great service, great music and a chill vibe!

Lo-Fi is a cool little spot to grab some cocktails and do some dancing! The dj was playing some top 100, the place was jam packed with college kids looking to let loose on the weekend. There are plenty of cozy seats for those needing to take a break. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat, and inviting.

Accidentally bumped into this cool place while we wanted to go to Nightcap. If was Friday night around 1ish am and we were having trouble to locate nightcap since we are very new to this town. We saw a man entering through a door with a lot of music. So we guessed it could be night cap.After entering, the place didn't look as a chic lounge as we thought it would be , since we were still thinking it's nightcap. However, we settle for a drink and were enjoying the vibe of the place. We got strawberry Moscow mule and a regular Moscow mule, both were not the best but okay. The thing that hooked us to this place was the great music. The DJ was fantastic. Even though not sure of where we were, we stayed back for the music. Finally around 2am, we headed back and talked with the bouncer on the door who said us that nightcap is on the floor above. But, we are glad we stepped on to Lo-Fi. What a delightful find - a true serendipity.

Alright so me and my friend decided on this place after trying out two clubs in ann arbor and not really liking either one of them. When we got here, the bouncer was super cool but he made it seem like it was soooo busy and we waited outside in line for probably 15 mins. However when we finally got in, the place was dead! I mean, there was maybe 15 people on the dance floor and the bar area had about the same amount. The DJ also played horrible music (backstreet boys, nsync, etc). and at around 1:30, he played some slow song and the whole dance floor left lol. The bartender made the drinks STRONG here too which ended up being a nightmare for my friend lol. Needless to say, I would not go back here unless they had a different DJ.

Been here twice for special events/concerts and it's FANTASTIC. It's the downstairs bar by the same owners of Night Cap and it still has same commitment to quality and style but more suited for mixing, mingling and dancing. The decor inside is amazing (love that neon dragon!), the drinks are excellent, and the vibe is fun. The space isn't HUGE so concerts are intimate and the DJ sets open up the floor for great dancing and merriment. But if you want something more low key, head up stairs to the excellent Night Cap. No matter what you're feeling you can find it here.

I came here with some friends on opening night and we really enjoyed ourselves. We weren't here very long as we did eventually go upstairs to go get drinks at Nightcap, but I'll run down my experience. The first thing I noticed was the all the neon lights. It's very flashy with bright colors all over. I LOVED the neon dragon, because who doesn't like dragons. Reminded me of Mushu from the movie Mulan lol.There is a dance floor, but what is really interesting was the music the DJ was playing. It was majorly Motown( which I love). Not the usual music you hear at your average club. I'm not entirely sure it the music changes genres as the night goes on, or if this is strictly a club/basement bar that plays oldies.In comparison to Night Cap, Lo-Fi gives you plenty more room, dance floor and more causal vibe. I'll have to check it out again to have a more full experience but it fun for what it was.

I have been here three times and the experiences were decreasingly horrible. The first time I went it went smoothly.The second time my friend and I stopped by to dance. We decided to leave to meet with a friend at another location. While we were leaving the DJ began playing audio that repeated: "get the fuck out". At first, I didn't take notice of it as we were engaging in a conversation with other people on the dance floor. But clearly, the DJ was taking it very personally that we were heading out. He then began encouraging others to do the same to us and tell us to get the fuck out. We did nothing to disrespect him and were previously enjoying the music on the dance floor. It was embarrassing on his behalf as I just laughed it off. Regardless it reflected poorly on Lo-Fi because what kind of behavior is that.The last time I went, they harassed my older friend. They were born in 1988 and they should be more than old enough to be in a bar. He was harassed and threatened. Just because someone is as old as you and looks more youthful doesn't mean they're lying. If your job is to be able to tell a real ID, be able to tell what a real ID is. Additionally, my friend does not look younger than 25. So it was a ridiculous assumption.

I really really dig the vibes of Lo-Fi. I've been here a handful of times and have always had a good time. The nights I've come have not been too busy, but there were still plenty of people having fun. The DJs they get are super cool too. I can't help but want to dance around when they start playing smooth grooves from the 90s!!! It's just a fun place to be. Drink prices are competitive with other local spots and honestly a little bit cheaper and tasty. If I lived closer to Ann Arbor this would be my go to spot! Friday and Saturday would be the best nights to come down and see what they're about. I recommend getting a group of friends/family together and bar hopping in Ann Arbor, then obviously stopping into Lo-Fi for some great music and a chill ambiance.

** similar to a comment below***J the manager kicked me out because I defended another girl that she was physically body slamming and dragging.When I intervened and asked "is she okay? Why are you pushing her?" She then proceeded to physically drag me saying, "get the f out" when I didn't do anything but ask her why she was harassing that girl.While I was stuck outside --others... all of whom are of the same race...said they were aggressively kicked out by Joanie. I asked Joanie to come out to have a civil discussion..and she kept on avoiding it, making me wait for a long time.Additionally, I was stuck outside without my friends who were literally in arms reach and asked the bouncer and Joanie if I could get them to go with me.Or if they could grab my friend. But they wouldn't listen. I was stuck outside with nowhere to go for a long time in the cold....all because I decided to speak up.Again. This aggressive treatment happened and I literally didn't do ANYTHING.

really good, cheap drinks. the music was very EDM / house which is so fun. very cool vibe with the neon signs and lights. dance floor was fun and there was great energy. highly recommend!
