It was my birthday weekend and I decided to come out to Ann Arbor to do a little barhopping and walk around the city with my family and friends because it’s one of my favorite places to visit when I’m in the area. It’s been years since I came out to Ann Arbor and I seen Bills beer garden had a really sizable and adorable outside seating area/ bar. Let me just say I 10/10 Recommend this beer garden, especially if you’re with a group of friends / family! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, modern, and really well kept. The bathrooms were really well maintenance and super clean. All the bar tenders/ servers were Very friendly And always make sure you never had empty glasses in front of you. It’s a very mature setting so I got really comfortable quick. On nice days it’s dog friendly and they don’t serve food, but you can bring food from the other restaurants inside which is awesome! I seen other people brought in board games that they were playing with their friends and it was just such a vibe! We got to bills beer garden at open and it filled up really fast! I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in town and I will recommend it to anyone I come across! 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 service. Great spot for pictures and to meet some friendly people :) Plus, there was plenty of shade and open seating. I’m definitely...

You can also bring dogs in provided that they are leashed - they even have bowls that you can grab for water. If you'll be in the Ann Arbor area after 6PM, I highly recommend grabbing...
Read moreCalled last call only 3 hours into their business hours, 2.5 hours before close, based on their listed September hours on their website. It was a very nice Monday evening, no weather, but when I asked why, I was told they close early because of weather. I was there for probably 30 minutes, many of the tables were occupied, so there was still a decent crowd and they turned away several groups of people after announcing last call. I like Bill's and have never had any issues with this business before, but it's extremely frustrating that they would close so early before their listed hours. Our group took our...
