Townies Brewery

I certainly have some nostalgia about Townies, but they are certainly making some moves in an amazing direction that make this place great!
3 years ago my husband and I had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at this location, so we love to come back for a drink every year for our anniversary. They now have nachos and tacos, and a couple more beers and wine in rotation as well that were great. We got the chicken nachos which were great, and the lower ABV pineapple sour which I really enjoyed. They also have a game room here, and a great patio. Parking is a little confusing, but outside of that this is an awesome spot to grab a drink and some nachos!

Really loved this place. Had some time to waste before a wedding reception; nice interior. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. The nachos were bangin and I really liked my beer. Would come back!

Ps their parking lot gives me anxiety

Horrible beer and food , better brewerys in A2 would not waste your time or money , bartender was arrogant and rude

While I still love the environment - super kid- and dog-friendly yard space (5 stars!). The food quality is extremely underwhelming (2-3 stars). You used to be able to bring in outside food, but now need to order from Townies. We've tried several different menu items since my original post, and have never had a single thing that we would order again. Either let us bring in outside food or up your food game, Townies! I really want to love and support you! Lord knows we need more family-friendly spaces for beer lovers!

Love the atmosphere and the beer!! Love the stoned wall and the outdoor patio. Dawn is the best!! A hidden treasure. Stop in and sit on the cozy and warm patio!! A wide selections of beer and free popcorn. We played euchre for hours. I can't wait to go back. This be the place that we will be visiting many times in the future! I can't say enough about this place and apparently yelp feels the same way because I have to keep saying stuff for it to post this. I am at the average length and it still wants more. Wow. Is this how all reviews are? I love this place and had a great time but I am sad that I have to keep writing to get this to post. Ugh!!

Ok, so since I have to keep typing to get this review posted. I will tell you alittle about myself. My husband and friends love beer so we visit a lot of breweries and go to a lot of beer feast so when I say you will like this place. U will LOVE this place!

We live about a ten minute walk from here and decided to pop in and try it out. So glad we did.

It's got a great set up: lots of seating, board games, huge garage door that they open up in nice weather to let in light and fresh air, and outdoor seating. They also have great beers on top of it all.

The bartender on our fist visit was Anthony. He had us cracking up right from the start; really fun guy.

We plan to come back and participate in their trivia.

If you live in Ann Arbor, or just visit, you must check this place out.

This place is great. In town from Ohio visiting family. Always looking to try new breweries.

The patio is AWESOME. It's about 55-60 degrees outside. Nice chilly fall evening. They have the garage doors open and the fire tables going. It's prefect. The fire tables are picnic tables made out of concrete. I assumed the seats would be freezing but there has to be hot water running through them or something because the benches are warm and toasty! Love it.

As a cider drinker, usually when we go to breweries I have to hope they have a bar for me, but here they have not one, but two in house ciders. I'm not into dry cider so I opted for the Appolonia & Blueberry Rain. Omg it's so good.

They don't have a good menu but they allow you to bring food in from anywhere as long as you drink here it's great. We will definitely come back.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect but this brewery offered a wonderful atmosphere full of friendly faces and plenty of places to warm up on a chilly fall day. My best friend and I took a day trip out to Ann Arbor to visit a few of the local bookstores and decided to finish our afternoon here, and were thrilled to have made that choice. It was a pleasure to get to spend a few hours sipping on hard ciders in a cozy, fire lit cabana just outside of the brewery itself. Will definitely be returning.

A fantastic patio with welcoming ambiance is the biggest plus for Townies. Points for being close to Chela's to grab food. Interior is nice if a little too perfect. Parking is hardly adequate, and make sure you're in their lot or you'll get towed!

I visited recently for a trivia night, more interested in checking out the game and a new place than anything else. I was fortunate enough to snag the last spot in their parking lot, and I'm glad I did; my friend said other nearby places will tow, so be forewarned.

I went with a sparkling water, which they have several flavors of; if you're like me and not a beer person, this is probably your best option here. Food is either beer jerky, chips, or something from a nearby restaurant, which they don't mind if you bring in.

Music was defeating when I arrived -- the small speaker by the bar really cranks out some decibels. It was so loud in fact that I went outside mainly to save my eardrums from rupturing.

Trivia was fun. I will probably return for that at some point. Otherwise I'm glad I checked it out but I won't be a Townies regular.

I like the look of this place, but their beer always tastes "off" -- I'm not enough of a brewing connoisseur to know what the issue is, but I've never had an unequivocally good drink here. The food is just bad (the nachos we ordered were flavorless, messy, and used gross slimy canned chicken).

Parking lot is tiny and there seems to be some drama with neighboring businesses about Townies customers parking in their lots. Be VERY careful if you're parking elsewhere.
