Uplift Ann Arbor

My partner and I went for the Sunday brunch. $30 a person. They had bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, and fresh fruit buffet style. Coffee creamer. Alcoholic beverages cost extra at the bar. There were 4 performers and they were all great! One of the owners was there and checked on us twice. Everybody was super friendly. The drinks were good and so was the food! A great cheaper fun date for a Sunday with a partner, friends, or just something to do by yourself!

Wow, this place is really nice and the staff here is amazing. I actually grew up in Ann Arbor and not having anything like this except maybe for Neo it’s nice to have something that’s more of a hang out spot and more down to earth. I came on a Friday night and even though it wasn’t busy or packed I kind of appreciated that buy more. I got to really hang out and get to know the bartenders and the DJ was a 10 out of 10. Whatever old-fashioned they had on the menu was so good. I had to get a second one. I highly recommend coming here. I love that you guys are curating more LGBTQ plus spaces and right in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor.

Out on a Friday Night. Lots of new bar staff - drinks are weak and not that great, had to wave down bar staff even though bar wasn’t that busy, took one drink order at a time instead of serving me and my 3 friends at the same time. I wasn’t very uplifted here. Came from out of town and the atmosphere was ok, a lot of uptight people just standing around with only a few dancing.

The staff are friendly. The bar is nice enough. However, the events they hold never seem to start and end on time. Makes it hard to plan when to get there. And when you do get there, they are either not set up for the event you are going to or the earlier event they had that night is still being dismantled. The bar staff dont seem to work together to get things done very well. And the men's restroom eventually by the end of the night had either urine or leaky urinals all over the floor. I think they need better management that can be on top of things and also help their staff be more efficient.

Food and staff are great so they get a five. During the day of the dead celebration the opener for the show kept walking through the crowd and groping people both hands on the hips instead of going around, including my partner. They stated how gross it made them feel after they gave a long winded explanation how touching REQUIRES consent yet they did not notice or stop the OPENER from doing that in the crowd several times. I saw three other girls who got grabbed making faces cause it was also uncomfortable for them. A safe environment Is for EVERYONE. So they get two stars unfortunately for that experience.

This was my first time trying this place abd the last drove 48 minutes away Thursday Feb 12th checked the website said there was suppose to be a drag show event. Walked through the door wasn't greeted 2 guys behind the bar looked confused. I walked up to them and after them conversatting briefly I was told they were having a private event tonight. Can't speak on anything else food drinks ect was turned away. Maybe update your website instead of making people drive long distances for nothing.

This gay bar offers a lot of events for lesbians and sapphics, which can be hard to find, so it's very appreciated. There is one bartender who is rude, but all the others are nice, and I haven't had an issue with. The patrons are usually very friendly, but sometimes it's a hit or miss on whether people dance, usually in relation to whether they're playing good music. Overall, would recommend though.
