Uplift Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor's only full-time queer bar since fall 2024: a laid-back neighborhood bar on weeknights, a DJ club on weekends, drag brunch on Sundays.
01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Uplift opened in fall 2024 in the basement-level space below The Circ on South First Street in Ann Arbor. It has been the city's only dedicated LGBTQ+ bar since Aut Bar closed in 2020. On weeknights it's a relaxed neighborhood bar, and on weekends it turns into a club with DJs. Programming mixes karaoke, drag shows, trans-focused happy hours and ticketed Sunday drag brunches.
- Ann Arbor's only full-time queer bar
- Trans Happy Hour Wednesdays, 6–8 pm
- Sunday drag brunch with buffet
