LIVE

Right next door to the Delonis center. Make sure you bring $20 cash for the cover and an extra pair of shoes in case you step in human excrement on your way out. Thankfully the transients focus more on the cocktail bar staff and customers in regards to aggressive panhandling

It seems they haven’t dusted the ceilings in years. This is all falling in your drinks. In addition, I asked the bartender for an old fashioned, and she was rude, saying “we don’t really do old fashioneds.” It’s the oldest drink in America. What are all the bottles for, then? They make their money off of Gin and tonics, vodka sodas, and beer. I wouldn’t call this place a “bar” and I would steer clear.

Great service and amazing staff. I forgot my clutch on New Year’s Eve and when I filled out the lost item form online they responded the next day letting me know they had it. It feels great to know there are still businesses hiring staff that have integrity, respect and amazing core values. I will definitely recommend this place!

Went here the day before New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve and had a blast! The dance floor was spacious and the music was superb. The bar service was great as well. We made lasting connections with folk who work there like Ethan, our favorite bartender, and are looking forward to partying there in the future!

100% never female friendly. I asked the bartender, who looks like rebel wilson, for a water after my friend had too many drinks there. I actually watched the bartender pick up the normal little cup for tap water and change her mind, grab a water bottle, and then try to charge me $4 for a water bottle when every other bar in AA will give you it for free. 40 year old married men are there constantly and they will grope you, and it’s not even worth it when you’re getting charged $4 for a water by rebel wilson.

I absolutely love LIVE Ann Arbor so much! The music is great, the DJ definitely knows what hes doing. Mike, the bouncer is one of the nicest and best people there. He always greets us with the best smile and is super friendly. Live would not be the same without him. I also love the coat check lady. She works so hard and even checked up on me in the bathroom. My friends and I all love this place

Lived in Detroit for 4 years, been to all the clubs downtown, royal oak etc but nothing beats the atmosphere at LIVE. Only drawback is that the DJ is not that fresh and always plays the same playlist. Might wanna go to Necto and Cantina just to get a change of pace sometimes.

Some friends invited me out here for the first time. I couldnt find anywhere to put my coat, so I asked if I could leave it on top of one of the booths along with all the other coats. When I came to grab it at the end of the night, my friends waited while I sifted through piles of coats to eventually realize that mine had been stolen. This was a branded coat I was given as a gift from a long time friend. A simple Carhartt winter coat, but it meant a lot to me and I just got it. When I came back to ask about the coat and see if it had turned up, I saw that there was a coat check sign printed on computer paper near the entrance. Im not sure if that was there the first time, but it was an additional charge on top of the cover. So if its a cold night and you dont want to wear a coat on the dance floor, be prepared to get either stolen from or ripped off.

Just had bottle service with VIP booth for a birthday party. Wow!!!! Mike made it easy and very helpful to book. I requested a few things and he made it all happen. Club was packed which I was concerned with faster horses, art fair fair, and no classes because it’s summer at U of M. Had a blast. I highly recommend having your next party here!!!!!

Experience was Amazing 🤩 and the Staff and Chefs were so approachable and were feeding the hungry with the nights leftovers and took the time to speak w/us abt the Oldies time on Friday eves and the menu @ The Last Word! Thanks for a great night guys!

Woulda been a little better if the bouncer in the orange wasn’t letting random people cut the line because they were friends. Literally watched him let in SEVEN PEOPLE after they asked if he could make an exception bc they were buddies. Like?? Naur.Atmosphere was fun, all other workers were fun besides him. Great music and really clean bathrooms ??? Actually shocked to have clean bathrooms in a club! It’s nice to see security walking around too. Great bartender.

Came in with a few friends, and one of the two female bartenders that served us was so beyond rude to every one of us that that alone almost ruined our night. Then she charged me double my total on my card for my drinks, so ontop of tipping her I got charged twice for my drinks as well. It was so stupidly expensive for mediocre drinks and with such inappropriate behavior from the bartender, that lets just say we were extremely regretful for going here for our night out. Ive tried contacting multiple times to get my money back that was incorrectly charged, but never received a call back unfortunately. Therefore, the review of my unfortunate and disappointing experience.

I’ll give 1 star because I have no option for less. I will be suing this club for domestic violence. Security is very unprofessional and abuses their customers. Absolutely uncalled for what I went through last night over a 1/4 spilled beer. It’s a bar, drinks get spilled. The actions of the security at this moment and time, I have never seen in my 28 years of life. Working in the music industry for years I have worked with so many bars and clubs and still never seen this type of behavior. Honestly these little kids that call themselves adults need to be fired. The reviews precious make sense. It’s sad the owners hire such individuals. It’s a huge reflection on the people running this outfit.

DJ plays a wonderful music makes the Saturday Nights awesome.It is not over crowded until 1 am. Free entry before 10pm after 10 $5. Drinks are affordable.We do not get a place to sit and enjoy the environment, As there is always advance reservations

We were at Live for a drag show, which was super fun, however the bartender was extremely rude. Not only was he terribly rude but he tipped himself on our debit cards, even though we explicitly did not tip him. This is stealing and he should be fired.

This place is great! Mike at the door is super friendly and nice. I also miss the girl who did cover and always wore a mask, I hope she comes back.

Mixed bag at this establishment.Liquors: Mostly low-mid range, prices are high but not unreasonably so for a bar. I didnt see many taps, and what I did see was not impressive, but did not look at the bottle selection.DJ: The DJ was okay, nothing special. This doesnt affect my rating TOO much as the DJs rotate, but still.Bouncers: Great guys. One of them had to make me leave, but allowed me to get my coat from coatcheck, drink my water, and explain to my friends that it was okay and that there was no reason to visit this establishment if they want to treat customers in this way (more on this below).Bar staff (front bar): Great! Went to them for my second drink, very friendly.Bar staff(small bar to right of floor): Extremely poor service. I asked for light ice, he started pouring Gin into a glass packed TO THE TOP with ice. I tried to tell him to stop before he started pouring but he kept going, so I yelled a little louder (its a club) and he got irate. Yelled at me that he heard me and to let him work. He then proceeded to dump out some of the ice. Why it makes sense to dump out the ice after its been covered with Gin is beyond me, Id rather it stay in the glass. Im pretty sure he was just annoyed when I asked him to correct. A few minutes later my friends joined me on the floor and they also complained he was rude to them, without prior knowledge of my experience. Some time later in the night, I was feeling parched and a little sick so I went to the bar and asked for a water. After hearing what I wanted, the bartender then asked the guy next to me what he wanted, and proceeded to make him a drink. That guy also asked for a water, so the bartender then filled two cups with ice and a splash of water. He only filled mine about 3/4 of the way, the other guys was filled to the top. He then had to go out of his way to hand me the one with less. Was this a perceived slight? Its possible, but after his previous rudeness with not only myself but my friends as well, I sincerely doubt it. I always tip for water when the wait staff provides good service, but Im not going to tip for rude behavior. I quickly drank the small amount of water in the cup, and knowing I was going to get ignored, grabbed the wand and started filling my cup with water. He saw and threw me out of the club, making a big scene about making me leave while I casually and calmly walked to the front, stating no problem, Im leaving while he pushed me and yelled for security to take me out. I realize I was in the wrong for grabbing the drink dispenser, but I needed water and this guy was being a jerk about it. The bouncer made reference to the bartender being his boss, so this may just be a place I dont visit anymore.

Atmosphere was horrible, Bouncer was extremely rude, and I didnt like my experience overall.

Terrible experience, the bouncers were incredibly rude. After paying $300 for bottle service we were told I had thrown up in the bathroom and they were kicking us out. That was not true at all, nobody in our party had thrown up in the bathroom. When we tried to explain that to them they literally had 2 bouncers pick up my husband and throw him outside (he has bruises on his arms from being mistreated). The ironic thing is a male bouncer told me I threw up, how would he have known he wasn’t in the bathroom. And why would they kick out a full group of 20 people over that, they were clearly just making up a reason to throw us out. Either they’re racist or they were trying to give our table to another party, but I can’t believe we were treated so poorly. Live should really be giving us a refund for our bottle service and should really focus on hiring better management and employees.

This place used to be decent, but the DJing is out of control... and not in a good way. The DJ plays the same outdated tracks every Saturday and refuses to let any actual beat drop.. instead turning it into some bizarre house mix. Its not 2008 anymore.

Went here with some friends for the first time. Super rude bartender named Hannah begged for tips and was just really rude to me for no reason. She also seemed drunk behind the bar. Won’t be going back bc of her.

Great music, shady staff, security is so rude. This would be my go to club if not for rude staff, frfr. You get the bartenders and DJ who are on point. Security is rude, except the chunky guy, and they blast your business at the door....sigh. This aint it.

Im giving them a couple of extra stars because theyre awesome enough to host Nerd Nite, and since Im not their usual clientele the rest of the month. That said, as a bar, its terrible. Lets start with their beer selection. Its 100% bottles and cans of big macro junk. Its 2014, and they dont have a single craft beer available in the place. They had a few decent bottles of liquor, so I decided to go with a whiskey sour instead. Suspicion confirmed: a shot of whiskey, topped with sour mix that isnt sour out of the soda gun. Gross, ok, next drink lets be safe, a scotch on the rocks. Should have done it neat, they filled the whole glass up with tiny ice cubes that diluted it before I ever had a taste. As I ordered, I overheard someone beside me reminding the bartender that their drink was supposed to have bitters in it. Hmm, I dont see any here, they must have moved that downstairs...Speaking of which. The sting of this was worse knowing that downstairs, from the same owners, is whats probably the finest cocktail bar in the region - The Last Word.Im not asking for much. Keep a stock of some Two Hearted or Founders Porter or something. Anything.

My debit card was hacked by one of the bartenders last night. Used it at this bar.... nowhere else all day . A couple hours later, I started getting weird charges on it from fast food places near Ann Arbor and Downriver. Someone who works there is copying cards.

If I could give zero Stars I would. Accidentally bumped into a lady on the way to the bathroom who grabbed me by my shirt and yelled at me and I told her dont touch me b****. Come to find out that was the owners daughter she got physical with me I didnt touch her one time she went and lied and said I shoved her they said they would check security footage and never did. They also would not give me my debit card when I was trying to exit the place they told me they will bring it outside to me and I told him Im not going anywhere until I get my debit card right now. Two of the bouncers got really Rowdy with me got in my face screaming at the top of their lungs and made threats towards me. So they brought me my debit card out and I was angry and I told them that I was not leaving a tip at all due to the horrible service I was given so I put $0 in the tips space. Checked my bank account today to see that they took $8 in tips out from my bank account that is illegal and I will be looking into further legal proceedings to handle this matter due to the how horrible the service I was given. I would not recommend this club to anybody there were multiple fights! Ive never in my life had felt the hostility that I felt in this bar.

Service is a poor quality... we asked for a drink and the barman said he didnt have any ice. But he gave many drinks to his friends.The DJ. For us we called him, DJ 20 seconds. Each music he played, switched after 20 sec...First time, last time in this club...

Had a great time. Ramsey was one of the best bartenders Ive ever had take care of me. I told him what I was in the mood for and his creativity took over. Hes a magician.

Came here based on a recommendation from a taxi driver as a good place to dance but was extremely disappointed. Loud, dark atmosphere with little to no dancing. Bar service was okay and drinks were fine but probably wouldnt return since there are so many other better options in the area.

Best dance club I have been to in my life. Great music the entire time I was there a good dance floor and good drinks. 10/10 would recommend. Just a great time and a good atmosphere.

Last word is great but Live not so much. Bouncers were very rude.

Bouncer was rude to my husband and was confrontational. When paying for cover the bouncer was rude and condescending so we left and went to other bar. Not worth the wait and not a fun atmosphere, very rude staff.

Was pleased with such an awesome bar staff. Could not decide what to order and the bartender the night I was there came up with someone that was absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, clean and presentable club.

Our group went here last night, the staff were rude, the place was dirty, the drinks were mostly ice than liqour and my friend got kicked out for standing up for himself after being the victim of sexual harassment. They sided with the assailants!

Dance floor was nice, yet the bartenders and bouncers were a little rude. Saw multiple people have various issues throughout the night. Drinks were pricey and werent particularly good.

Can you please play a real good music...all musics they are playing here are so outdated. There are tons of amazing EDMs out there. Its always so hard as an international audience to really dance with hiphops. Music here is so minus to everything else that it could gain great points. Search for a really talented DJ and listen to whats hot around the world!!!

They tried to charge me $5 at 1:30 in the morning when there is 3 people in their. Its a badd way to run a business because I woulda bought drinks. But since you tried to charge me $5 for nothing I took my money elsewhere.

Music sucked for over half the night. who plays slow songs when people are trying to dance. Also, the fire Marshall should be called because the amount of people they had In there is an absolute fire hazard even for being a club. If an emergency happened many would be hurt

Live plain sucks. The security is a bunch of rowdy, bigoted country inbreeds who think they can do/say whatever they want. I would stay away from live, so many other places in Ann Arbor with better service, friendly staff and better atmosphere.

This place had managed to win the Slowest bar on earth prize numerous times, service is very slow and inefficient , I literally had to wait more than half an hour at the bar and was put out of my misery by a friend who gave me one of his beers, otherwise I would have still been waiting. Ventilation is poor and so is the places floor plan.Bottom line - go to the nearby Cavern, Necto or Ricks!

Fantastic dance floor, hot sweaty beats and DJs mix like their lives depended on it. Bottle service rocks and VIP Areas make this just an awesome experience.

2014 - my daughter likes the place. How about explaining it here and putting something up on your website that gives clear information about the parking situation. Its not clear only because theres nothing said about it.Thanks

I would put less rating if I could, worst bartenders Ive I ever met, too hot,poor music... I would never come back

Bouncers were rude depiste only asking them for a drink a water. Cover charge is unessssary and venue is subpar

Geezer happy hour! Great music. Saw so many of my friends there.

Its LIVEEEEE

Great local venue. They have a variety of events throughout the month. Microbrew selection is a little weak though.

Absolutely disgusting. The bouncers are mean and the facilities are dirty. Do not come to this place! Many other places are MUCH better.

Exceptional bar staff, and vibe. One of the best bars in Ann arbor.

It says it’s open on Thursdays but I went there and they were closed??? Paid $5 for parking for nothing. I know not to come back. I’ll just stick with Necto

I really love this place. The cocktails are fantastic. The music is great and the staff is always nice.

Live is a great place to go dance! the staff is great, especially the VIP host Danielle.

The music selection needs a major upgrade. I get bored easily when it’s only top 40 music playing that’s not even that good.

It wasnt really poppin but five stars because the cover was FREE before eleven and there was a ONE DOLLAR drink and it was CLEAN.

Love the Geezer Happy Hour. Definitely will be back.

I got two lemon drop shots and it was $29. WHAT THE HECK! COMPLETE RIP OFF

It is good for dancing on the weekend. It is usually packed and there is a cover charge.

If I were younger, I would give it more stars, but the atmosphere is obviously for 20 somethings.

Touring thru Michigan this year i could rock this venue hit me updjbigton.com

Decent nightclub, drinks can be watered down, air conditioning is terrible, humid and really sweaty, even in decently cool nights.

Loved live...great atmosphere and lovely crowd in downtown ace deuce..

Nice Club, gets crowded at around 11 pm ish

Emailed with general manager. I want to put a card down on the booth rental. Please check your emails. Thank you.

Great venue for Nerd Nite and decent for late night dancing on the weekends.

Phantastic DJs they know exactly what to play to get everyone in the mood to dance and keep dancing.

Need better bathrooms other than that a great place to enjoy your night

Always a great dancing atmosphere here! Hotties too 👌

Better than ricks and Necto tbh

Happening club with electronic and pop music, bottle service, and large bar selection.

The bouncers are power-hungry police academy rejects.

Medusa is a great DJ hands down

Good trendy dance club. Lots of attractive ladies!

I had a horrible experience with the staff and security is rude for no reason.

Nina was amazing, thank you for your help!

Its fun if your purely drunk

Screw this place. Go somewhere else.

Really fun place for dancing and drinks.

I keep forgetting my card here 😐

They have slow service on top of untrustworthy employees

Decent bar/dance club. Nothing special

Best bar in Ann Arbor

Lively crowd and plays the latest songs

Stay hip

Even on a slow night people still dance

Very dirty

Probably the best in ann arbor

Happy hour prices.

Lives up to its name!

❤ Me

Drinks are awful.

Expensive college bar.

Great music

What dreams are made of
