You know, I've been to Powell's twice now, and it's good for what it is. If you want a bar that serves well-mixed drinks, go to Sidetrack and shell out 8 bucks for it. Powell's has decent prices, (not amazingly cheap but never expensive, 3.00 drink specials and cheap pitchers of domestic beer,) a few surprisingly nice choices of beer on tap (Oberon, hard cider,) really nice bartenders, and a 40-something crowd on slow nights. It's not too loud on weeknights, so it's a good place to bring a friend and get wasted. Our motto here is "Go to Powell's if you're not looking to meet anybody." We go to Powell's when we want quick service, no wait, and a bill that won't break the bank.
Review Source:Pool tables,dartboards, and the ultimate laid back atmosphere...that's Powell's. Â Powell's is your friendly neighborhood dive bar, located right by Eastern Michigan University, but definitely NOT a student bar. Â What goes along with your friendly neighborhood dive bar? Â Well, that'd be cheap drinks and greasy food, and there is plenty to go around. Â They have some really unique mixed drinks and I have had quite a few good ones, along with a few questionable ones, too.
I don't come here that often, but every time I do I have good time. Â I wouldn't go out of the way for a visit, but if you're out in Ypsi and have nowhere else to go this is a good bet!
