The Last Word

Love that they have the Last Word on their cocktail menu. The food is also much better than standard bar fare. Great speakeasy vibe. A little pricey but fun place to take out-of-town guests who are cocktail lovers.

We had a hard time finding this place but we finally did. There is a nice selection of Cocktails as you would expect. I prefer drinks that aren't over so much ice. Unfortunately most are from what my server was saying. I ordered a few to try. They were decent but nothing that blew me away. I can't have aquafaba and was pleased they could sub Egg white. They are accommodating and service was great. There's a weird musty smell everywhere that my husband and I noticed that is pretty overwhelming. The atmosphere was nice. It was a pretty slow night. I'm not sure how it is when it's busier. We were able to talk, it wasn't too loud. I tried the Space Bird. It was delicious, but it was served over a ton of ice so it became watered down. I would not order it again.The Rosie... Was decent. Just like a champagne cocktail but not great. Third.. Persephone's Garden, it was my favorite. It had a nice flavor. Personally, I think there are better cocktail bars in the area but I like that they are open until 2am here. The kitchen closes before 12 so we weren't able to try anything

I've been to The Last Word several times over the past couple of years. This time, came for a Monday late afternoon meetup with friends and had a great experience. Since it was only 5:30p, there were plenty of open tables and was seated quickly. Service was good - no complaints. I'm a big fan of their 50% off charcuterie boards on Mondays now. We ordered both their charcuterie board and cheese board. We also ordered two orders of their house fries and their mushroom ravioli. All the food came out fairly quickly and was very good. Just as a note, some of their food items can be pricier for the portion size, their bao buns among others. For drinks, we got the Tiki on the French Riviera, You're my boy blue, and Kentucky Sunshine which were all excellent. As a long time patron of The Last Word, I'm excited that they're doing specials on weekday nights (50% boards on Mon and they also do discounts for whiskey Wednesday I believe) and will definitely be coming back soon.

Super cute venue and space. Make sure to make reservations before you head in if possible~ we were not able to get seats right away but they have a standing full service bar area! As tables became available they would give us the option to sit at a table. Drinks are 14-20$ which is pretty standard and food options are pricier. The house fries have multiple flavors to choose from and we were not disappointed by the garlic Romano flavor of the week. Drinks: the space bird was deliciously refreshing with passion fruit notes and aftertaste of the gin. The founding father was sweeter and my bf loved it. Will def be back for round 2!

100% one of the secret gems in Ann Arbor. With a Tortured poet vibes, the bar is very nice to have good drinks and talk with friends. Liked all the staff!

Ambiance: Dark, moody, with a speakeasy vibe. The entrance blends in with the surrounding exterior so it could be hard to miss. The music isn't too loud, which is nice. The tables are seated pretty close to each other so you could definitely hear another party's conversation. The scent is what threw me off at first. It smells like the the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland lolService: Somewhat poor. I went with a party of 3 at 9pm on a Friday and the wait was ~45 min for a table. We stood at the standing bar and ordered drinks while we waited. However, we waited for about 15 min before someone took our order :-/ The drinks came out quickly thoughSpacebird ($14) // (5/5): This tastes SO good ! It's pretty sweet and fruity. I highly recommend!

This is a fun place for cocktails. Cool, dark vibe, though a bit on the loud side.Our group shared several cocktails and they were all good. My favorite was the Los Lobos, but you really can't go wrong with most of the menu.The small bites are pretty good. The charcuterie board was shockingly big and yummy, and the fries were well seasoned but a bit overcooked.Service on a Saturday night was on the slow side -- we waited a while for our server to come back, even while several of us had empty drinks. Something to keep in mind...

We've been wanting to come here for months and finally made it on a late Friday night for a drink. I wasn't expecting a Speakeasy...to be SO loud (with booming 90s music). We were able to sit at a table (maybe sitting at the bar would've made for a better experience??) which was fine and the service was great. I wish I could give a higher review but the drinks we got were just okay. We ordered an Old Fashioned (like their sister restaurant, Peridot's better) and a The Rosie.The food looks amazing so we may have to give TLW another try on a week day night (DJ Tuesdays & maybe Jazz on Thursdays??).

Great well balanced drinks, awesome ambience with very eclectic low key vibe. Awesome for a cocktail and appetizer with friends.

Ambiance is fantastic. Drink menu is eclectic and fun but be sure to make reservations, it's awfully difficult to get in without them - they are packed on a Saturday night!
