"Love the atmosphere! And the drinks! Greatt selection. Had the Islay Sour, spot on. The mixoligists are fantastic. Prices good."

"The food and drinks were amazing. Each of my friends and I loved our various cocktails and our waitress recommended the roast carrots to rave reviews. The pumpkin creme brulee was so good that we all started scheming to add it to our thanksgiving menus. HOWEVER, the music was absolutely disastrous. It was poundingly loud and with genre swings that were both disruptive and at odds with the aesthetic of the space. At one point the Titanic theme song started and then, was abruptly replaced with a thumoing bass track. It felt like conversation was fighting uphill which was a huge detraction to the enjoyable food and delightful drinks along with soothing cozy lighting. Another point the music got so loud that when we finally pled with the staff to turn it down other tables clapped as it got quieter. Despite the amazing food, we agreed the noise was so uncomfortable we wouldn't want to return."

"On a snowy February evening, there was absolutely no shortage of superb food, inventive cocktails, and excellent service at The Last Word. This is a polished and designed experience that demonstrates real thought and commitment to high quality. Yet, it also somehow avoids feeling snobby, pretentious, stuffy, and imposing. Instead, the cozy, welcoming, accessible, and warm atmosphere allowed cocktail beginners and cocktail connoisseurs to both feel like their expectations were met and even exceeded. I could not recommend this bar enough and look forward to returning as soon as possible."

"If you are a speakeasy and/or cocktail enthusiast, this is a must. Sat at the bar for dinner and was recommended a phenomenal cocktail by the bartender. Food and ambiance were equally impressive, but the service was undoubtedly the best part of my experience. Because I was on the way to Detroit for a work conference, the staff wrote a list of restaurant recommendations for the city that did not disappoint. 10/10"

"The Last Word is, without a doubt, one of Ann Arbor's top destinations for serious cocktails. This place offers a dark, cozy, and sophisticated atmosphere that makes it perfect for intimate conversation and savoring expertly crafted drinks. They truly excel at classic cocktails, and their namesake drink, The Last Word, is perfection every single time—balanced, complex, and refreshing. I also absolutely love their Islay Sour—the scotch drink made with Laphroaig and egg whites. That smoky, frothy creation is the reason I keep coming back"
