      Drinks were good. The waitress was super friendly and the only person working and she was taking care of 8 tables. Our sampler came and it was cold, she did it over and it was just as cold the second time. Just drink don't eat here.

      The Brown jug has an amazing atmosphere! The best place to go and watch all your favorite college or professional sports. Jayden was absolutely wonderful! He made sure we were always taken care of and had the best drinks behind the bar. Best bartender in Ann Arbor by far!

      The bartender tonight was wasted he let us know. Took us 10 mins to get our drinks we asked if he was still making them and was like sry I'm wasted. Probably do something about jay. Christina fixed everything. Even after jay charged our tab to someone else. She flipped our experience. Christina was awesome :)

      Letting people know that they charge a 3.99% administration fee if you use a credit card. Been to a lot of eating establishments across the country and first time that have seen this...amazing.

      I can't tell you how many times I've been here, because I went to school long before my days of Yelp'ing, but it's definitely around 6 to 7. From drunken college nights, to celebrating Wolverine victories or drowning our sorrows in alcohol from a Michigan loss, this place always seems to fit the bill. Lol.

      Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right off of East University is this gem. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is right, but... it's a college bar, so they are very strict about checking IDs, almost every time I've been here. Lol. There isn't much to the decoration or the appearance because... who really cares when all you want is cheap drinks and cheap food. Fair enough. Lots of Michigan memorabilia strewn around inside to showcase the school spirit of course. The restaurant is quite elongated though. The main bar area is all up front along with a few wooden booths. Beyond the bar is another dining after you go down some steps. Booths and tables line either side of you as you walk down the center toward where the kitchen and bathrooms are.

      Service: We sat at the bar, so service was pretty good. I can't remember the young lady's name, but she took great care of us. Our food came out quickly, drinks were flowing and everything went well.

      Food: Surprisingly, their menu is massive. The drink menu is even more massive. Lol. There's certainly something for everyone here. I went with their 2 pounds of wings. It winds up being about 20 wings which I was able to split into 4 different sauces. I was able to try their Seasoned, BBQ, Caribbean Jerk and Buffalo. Not bad. Nothing to write home or rave about, but definitely some good wings, though Buffalo was my favorite.

      Value: VERY good. $4.00 Long Island Iced Teas during happy hour, which is everyday from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. There's a different special every day of the week, so it'll keep you wanting to come back. The 2 pounds of wings were $16.99 which averages out to be $0.85 a wing as a normal price. SO MUCH better than the prices back east where sometimes the HAPPY HOUR specials get DOWN to $1.00 a wing. Craziness.

      Awesome spot on U of M's campus. If you're looking to get hammered for cheap, eat for cheap or do anything regarding food or drink for cheap... this is your spot. Just hit up their website to find out what's on special that day!
