We enjoyed dining at the Earle - the food tasted great, as usual, and we enjoyed the special seasonal cocktails. As always, service was impeccable. The Earle is one of Ann Arbor’s favorites - with very good reason!

About the restaurant

"Mammoths & saber-tooth tigers once roamed these lands in search of their rich salts. Paleo-Indians hunted, farmed and raised families here because of the salt springs. Early settlers named their town Saline after the salt springs, and now in this stunning +120 year-old former church, so does this brewery.

Salt Springs Brewery offers lovingly crafted & locally sourced food, true-to-style ales, wine, cider, and craft cocktails. Located in the heart of Saline, complete with an outdoor Biergarten and main dining room filled with the original stained from 1899, Salt Springs Brewery will quench your thirst and nourish your soul."

I love Zola but it is so loud and people packed into the space. Wish they would fix both of those annoyances but then again others may like the energy.
