The Well

More spacious, updated, and cleaner than the downtown location - with a nicer patio!

It's difficult to spot, because although the address says Michigan Ave, it actually does not face that street, but is to the side of a larger plaza.

Aside from appearances, it's much like the Well downtown.  Drink specials on various nights, the game on TV,  current tunes playing on the electronic jukebox, a pretty middle-of-the-road crowd just looking to have a fun evening.

Overall a nice evening with good drinks, but the bartender was making a huge, disgusting faux paux...he was busy chatting it up with my friend and I (we were the only two there at the time....very early on a Saturday), while at the same time chewing tobacco and periodically spitting it in an empty beer bottle which he would then leave on the counter right in front of us as he went to tend to other things.  Each time he spit a out a juicy, foul smelling load (that's what she said) into that bottle it was all we could do to suppress our gag reflexes  (also what she said).  GROSS.  

Aside from Bartender McNasty....it was a nice place.

The Well was such a good time.

The DJ was suprisingly exciting.
The drinks were verrrry reasonably priced and I love that. Nice sizes, nice prices.
It's easy to go for 3+ rounds in there.  Would LOVE to go back.

So I live The Well in Detroit, this one not so much!  It looks the same but the crowd and atomsphere totally different.  And the drinks were so watered down!!!  A few local bartenders from the other Dearborn bars are working here so that is nice!  This bar is bigger than the one downtown so they could add extra tables but mostly everyone stands as the night goes on.  I was there on a Saturday night and we got there just before 11 and found seats at the bar right away!  When we left at 1:15 no seats!!!  Parking isn't the best cause you have to park in the garage.  I like other Dearborn bars but I was a little disappointed by this one!
