A comparable establishment of this quality would take an estimated 18+ months to create. The existing buildout, equipment, furniture, and licenses are valued at approximately $595,000.
Located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, this lively, modern, light-filled taproom is one block off of Main Street and two blocks from Kerrytown. The 2,900sf space with separate shared bathrooms is thoughtfully designed with areas for both taproom and production, and flexible options for events and expanded production operations. A glass roll-up door within the seating area allows for private events or community events, even during public hours. The seating area is equipped with modern birch booths, custom cherry tables, and modern finishings. Perfectly located to capture downtown foot traffic from game days, farmers markets, Midnight Madness, Summer Fest, Art Fair, and general downtown townies and tourists alike, especially as part of the Main Street Social District.
With weekly events such as board game night, trivia, yoga, and comedy, the taproom is known for its bright, stylish, and welcoming environment. With all recipes and equipment available to continue as Ann Arbor’s only operating cidery (serving beer, wine, and mead, as well), the space would also lend itself efficiently to future brewery or restaurant integrations.
