Reviews of LIVE (Night Club)

MahR

Probably the best in ann arbor

Stephen Russell

Decent bar/dance club. Nothing special

Nicole X

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

Brandon Patterson

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

Even on a slow night people still dance

Tyrae Buxton

Lives up to its name!

Kyle Holtzman

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

Rotem Yossef

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 place's floor plan. Bottom line - go to the nearby Cavern, Necto or Rick's!

James Krupa

Happy hour prices.

Paul Sutton

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

Rob Sandusky

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

Josh Keyes

Expensive college bar.

Jessica Long

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!

Greg Mowatt

Good trendy dance club. Lots of attractive ladies!

Joshua Walker

Drinks are awful.

Stacy M-B

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

Cristian

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

Noah Walker

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.

Sravan Rengarajan

Great music

Kaitlyn Hinkle

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 wouldn't return since there are so many other better options in the area.

Ciara Johnson

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

Jason (PlayaFritz)

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 weren't particularly good.

Jay Kachoria

Really fun place for dancing and drinks.

Paul Drennan

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.

Swati Bhat

Lively crowd and plays the latest songs

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.

Simone Renae

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

Good place to drink and have fun

Lance Barrett

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

Josh Arnold

Nina was amazing, thank you for your help!

Jonathon Snavely

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

Leif Millar

Mixed bag at this establishment. Liquors: Mostly low-mid range, prices are high but not unreasonably so for a bar. I didn't 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 doesn't 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 (it's 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 it's been covered with Gin is beyond me, I'd rather it stay in the glass. I'm 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 guy's 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? It's 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 I'm 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, I'm 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 don't visit anymore.

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!!!

DJ Big Ton (DJ Big Ton Music)

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

Mary Newton

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.

Josh Woodward

I'm giving them a couple of extra stars because they're awesome enough to host Nerd Nite, and since I'm not their usual clientele the rest of the month. That said, as a bar, it's terrible. Let's start with their beer selection. It's 100% bottles and cans of big macro junk. It's 2014, and they don't 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 isn't sour out of the soda gun. Gross, ok, next drink let's 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 don't 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 what's probably the finest cocktail bar in the region - The Last Word. I'm not asking for much. Keep a stock of some Two Hearted or Founders Porter or something. Anything.

what dreams are made of

Razvan Burghiu

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

Sedrick

Always a great dancing atmosphere here! Hotties too ????

Alison Brokke

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

Mike Levine

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. It's not clear only because there's nothing said about it. Thanks

Alli Gray

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.

Roshni Shokar

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.

Fred Bryant

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 don't touch me b****. Come to find out that was the owner's daughter she got physical with me I didn't 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 I'm 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! I've never in my life had felt the hostility that I felt in this bar.

Abhi

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

Sarah Prentiss

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.

Stephen Colón

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

f k

I don’t know if this place has a music code that restricts what DJs play, or if the DJs are doing this on purpose, but something needs to change about the music that’s played here. It’s so outdated and undanceable most of the time. No one wants to dance to Kelly Clarkson and Taylor swift. Please. I would love to start coming back here with my friends as regulars if they had more hip hop, house, or even more modern top 40 music.

Daniel Brooks

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

Adam Lowenstein

Always have an awesome experience at LIVE. They have a big dance floor (usually packed) and the DJs are always killing it. It's the go-to spot after bar hopping on the weekends. Plus they're always so damn friendly!

Patricia Emerson

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!

Jaclyn Piazza

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

Rania Hannan

The bouncers are power-hungry police academy rejects.

Isaac Heras

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

Brennan Callahan

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.

mr john

not safe , I will never go back again , ZERO professionalism, Ann Arbor city need to close this place for safety and health hazards , NoT CLEAN, the owner need to pay attention to his employees customer services skills becouse they are bunch of bullies who enjoy to destroy an educated Ann Arbor resident who trying to enjoy his/her birthday party. Never again.

julien cherif

Service is a poor quality... we asked for a drink and the barman said he didn't 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...

Court A

They tried to charge me $5 at 1:30 in the morning when there is 3 people in their. It's 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.

Alex Atkinson

It wasn't really poppin but five stars because the cover was FREE before eleven and there was a ONE DOLLAR drink and it was CLEAN.

Kiara Wallace

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

Ben Harmon

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.

Jeremy Jones

They have slow service on top of untrustworthy employees

Alicia Schomaker

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.

David Vipperman

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

mccjoi12

It's fun if your purely drunk
