The Rathskeller

Rathskeller (raths·kel·ler), noun: A restaurant or tavern, usually below street level, that serves beer

The Rathskeller is an authentic German-style bar, located in the basement of the Heidelberg. In keeping with tradition, you have an assortment of quality German lagers and wheat beers to choose from, as well as some American favorites. And, of course, good company is never hard to find.

The room is sometimes rented for local Ann Arbor poetry slams and can be used for banquets and parties as well. The Rathskeller features its own menu, though food and wine from the dining room are also available.

Come to the Rathskellar with your friends. We're told we have the best juke box in Ann Arbor. And you can drink from one of our 3-liter glass boots: Pass the boot around with your friends, and the second to last to finish has to buy the next round! Of course, if beer isn't what you're after, our bar is fully stocked with a wide variety of liquor.

Boasting the best juke box in Ann Arbor, "the boot," great food, and fine beers, the Rathskeller is home to good music, lively conversation, and some of the best times in Ann Arbor. As it says above the door, "Dine, Drink, Dance, and be Merry!"
