This intimate venue has a great volunteer staff, a wonderful sound system, good sightlines, and is very friendly and welcoming. Its small enough that every seat in the house is a good one but its not so small that it feels cramped. The speakers are well turned loud enough without being uncomfortable or even requiring earplugs. Probably my favorite place to listen to live music in Ann Arbor!
Love The Arc! Right in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, next to the U of M campus with a wide range of restaurants within walking distance.Its an intimate 400 seat venue with very reasonable ticket prices for live music with perfect acoustics and a chance to mingle with the artist during intermission and after the show. Youre going to love it!
I absolutely love the Ark. Friendly staff (non profit organization) but they do not let that change the level of service at all!Great lighting, sound was great as well. Seating was perfect for a personal coffee house feeling. I would say its now in my top 5 favorite places.William Fitzsimmons & Jim and Sam, Mission Bell Tour 2018. A fabulous set
Local venue that hosts both local and national acts. Become a member if you want to grab an alcoholic beverage. Sound system is excellent, and seating is cozy.
Great venue for live music with enough variety in performer genre to please most. Intimate and comfortable, it’s a deservedly celebrated concert space that caters to musicians and those that appreciate them. Tickets are never over priced and the staff are all volunteers. Highly support them.
Another amazing concert tonight! This place is absolutely my favorite venue. Always intimate, staff (all volunteers) are always friendly and helpful. Absolutely the best place for live music.
First time at this venue. VERY VERY VERY good place for a concert. After 50 years of going to concerts, this place is now in my top 3 venues.
Best place for a concert. Small intimate listening room, makes you a part of the show.
Great venue for live music, can’t wait to go back! We saw We Banjo 3 for the first time, awesome show!
What a wonderful venue with wonderful sound. Wonderfully intimate. I have literally nothing negative to say about this place! I only hope to have the opportunity to see more shows here!
Great venue! Small and personal:) Awesome evening at the ARK. JT
Amazing concert by the community high school jazz program! Perfect venue to showcase up and coming jazz musicians.
A beautiful and intimate venue. Any seat in the house feels quite close to the stage and the sound is great. The walls are filled with history and so many small artists get their start or a make a name for themselves here so if you attend a concert here, you might just be a part of history in the making.
Nice, intimate venue. I really enjoyed.The Ark is located in downtown Ann Arbor and near many restaurants. Well be back.
Went there tonight (10/12) to see Arturo Sandoval. Awesome show in an intimate setting. 15 feet from the stage.
Its a cramped little place but good for the folk music it usually features. There are columns in the place that make totally unobstructed views rare. If seeing the entire stage is your thing pay for the premium seating way up front. The acoustics are pretty good. Seating is standard stackable metal chairs with minimal padding. The capacity is approximately 400. If you have general admission tickets, plan to arrive & line up plenty early if you want some choice in seating.
While Ive seen less than a half a dozen shows here through the years, I have always enjoyed them.My main experience here is as a long time attendee of the open mic night.The Arks open stage happens one Wednesday most months. 😉its a fun show so whether you want to perform or not you can show up and have a great time. You may catch some first time performers and you are likely to catch some seasoned pros.Ann arbors talent it has always been spectacular.The ark brings out the best.If youre a performer, this stage is one of the most fun to play and the audience is simply the best!
Great venue. Wonderful acoustics and lighting. Good bar!!
A really nice concert venue, great Listening room, only knock on it would be that have Festival seating which means you have to get there early in order to get a good seat. The good part is there really arent any bad seats. The sound is always good there.
Go. Go. Go. Ive seen amazing shows, & good shows but Ive never once been disappointed here. Very intimate sized venue. Seems like every night there, an audience member says something out loud during the performance... & the performer hears them & responds! I love the easy, comfortable exchange. Live music almost every night of the year, all well performed & enjoyable, so all you really have to do is pick a genre you enjoy to find a great show.
Great sound stage. We saw Dave Alvin here and it was excellent. Its sort of a non-profit place as all of the staff are volunteers. This makes tickets cheap but its still somewhat exclusive due to its small size.Its clean, nice, with a small concession stand that serves beer/wine.I enjoyed it and Ill go back.
A great venue for some great talent! Such a wonderful organization that offers artists a place to perform and patrons an affordable place to enjoy them! Today I went there with my son for Sonic Lunch that had been rained out. The Ark opened there doors to shelter us and The Accidentals. Wonderful!!
One of my absolute favorite venues to come to! An intimate setting that plays folk and other small indie bands over 300 nights of the year. Family friendly and a great place to come to relax and listen to good music, no matter when. Highly recommended!
They use to call it folk music ie. protest???!!!now its called americana wunna be musici like music with more than love songs gone wrong???!!! We have a lot to protest...But it costs too much😢😢
Quaint venue. Great for a closer feel of a show.
As a newbie to visiting Ann Arbor, I think this place is an absolute gem. The staff consists of mostly volunteers and is helpful and friendly. It is an intimate setting which makes a concert or a show experience very different, in a positive way! Solid drink menu with reasonable prices. You do have to be a member to purchase drinks, or be a guest of a member.
Fantastic sound and nearly every seat has a great view. Both reserved and general admission for nearly every show and some of the best seats are Gen Ad and inexpensive. Great artist lineup of folk, blues, local and internationally renown.
A great space for intimate concerts, and they get really talented musicians. The seating is cushioned chairs lined around the rooms, and most tickets are general admission, so be prepared to line up outside at least 30 minutes before the doors open. They recently added wooden bars that are great for when you get a drink for the concert. They also sell popcorn.
Very beautifully designed room that has its own music history attached to it. I went to see a musical artist perform here and it was such a nice intimate space that had beautiful acoustics. Would see a random artist here just to hear them play here.
Easily one of the nicest things about Ann Arbor is The Ark! This venue for watching music is second to none. It is a relatively small space (350ish seats), so it feels intimate. The bar has a great selection of snacks, coffee and drinks. The acoustics have never failed me. The staff are a lovely group of volunteers who welcome everyone with smiling faces. Really, go to a show here once and youre hooked.
Great location, even better performance! Thanks all around!
Fantastic and intimate music venue with passionate staff and volunteers. The performers are always talented and personable. From their non-perishable donation Take a Chance Tuesday events to paid entry, the Ark offers a unique experience for music lovers of all kinds.
They make you wait in line before the show. Most of the venue was reserved for a private party, so it was hard to figure out which good seats were still available. You also have to be a member to buy alcohol, which costs $5 for a few months, or $20 for the year. Otherwise snack and drink prices are very reasonable.
A smaller venue for shows but provides a more personal experience. Great for seeing lesser known bands. Relatively easy to find, very friendly staff and had a bar. Made for a very nice date night out.
Great small venue. Attended the meet and greet and Morgan James was a doll.The seating situation was weird for premium paid tickets you could not sit on the first two rows. Since there were only about 20 people at the meet and greet that was weird. Plus they waited until we were all seated to make us move. Might want to share that when purchasing tickets.
I have been to the Ark numerous times and Everytime it has been a great experience seeing wonderful performers up close and personal and having the chance to meet with performers. Perfect. Even though it is a intimate setting the chairs could use an upgrade in comfort. Nonetheless this will not stop me from going more.
An Ann Arbor mainstay has been made even better with their new renovations! Music playing almost every night of the year with bands that will make you respect the craft. Volunteers are awesome, as well. One of my favorite venues!
Wonderful venue. Every seat is an excellent view!
Intimate concert venue with excellent acoustics. I always enjoy the music here! Seating is a a bit close, but still comfortable. Popcorn & drinks available, but the popcorn is not very good at all...really the only downside, the popcorn lol!
Great intimate venue with even better acoustics!!! Although theyre a nonprofit it seems theyre doing a great job updating the building and getting great performers!!! My husband and I had a GREAT date night here!!!
A venerable venue that both finds and presents new and traditional music that is local from around the world. Started from a living room ages ago and morphing as necessary to keep these ideals alive. It is a stage that many musicians would be proud to add to their tour.Quirky liquor license requires membership to buy alcohol. You can buy a cheap membership, which you can view as donation to a worthy cause..
Not a bad seat in the house. Very pleasant venue to see a concert if you can get a ticket. Popular bands sell out fast because this place cant hold many more than 1000 people.
Intimate Venue with great soundI love the Ark. It is a community treasure that features both local and national music (sometimes both, like the Jeremy Kittel Band, who I saw last weekend).Reserved seating usually costs only a few dollars more than the general admission tickets, but theres not a bad seat in the house.
The Ark is a fantastic listening space and I would recommend that everyone go see a concert there. It provides a rare opportunity to see acts in an intimate space with great sound quality. It seems like almost every seat in the house is great.
My absolute favorite place to see a show. They just did a big renovation to the sound and lights. I wish I lived closer. Id go to way more shows... Even artists Ive never heard of because chances are itll be a great experience.
If you like The Arks music offerings like I do, youll love the experience. The atmosphere is as tasteful as it gets, the acoustics as sweet as I can imagine, and the crowd as polite as Ive ever experienced. As indoor venues go, this is my favorite.
Its the best place in the state of Michigan to see someone. Not a bad seat in the place. Loved how intimate it is.
Went to the Darlingside concert last Sunday. What a fun and intimate little venue. Great acoustics and a very warm and inviting venue. The chairs arent the most comfortable.
Fantastic venue with great sound! Very intimate seating. Drinks were reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you are in the area!
One of the most amazing places to see an artist. Such an intimate venue with not a bad seat in the house. Every show weve seen here has been an experience to remember.
The 2nd best place to listen to music in Ann Arbor. Run by locals with donations from locals and excellent performances. While no one can compete with Hill Auditorium for sound, watching Victor Wooten jam out 20’ from me while drinking a decent beer should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Oldest, continually running, nonprofit music venue in the country. Great fundraiser at Hill Auditorium where 3,400 fans sample music varieties on the last Friday and Saturday nights in January. Folk, roots, some jazz, local, and internationally renowned artists.
Wonderful place, not a bad seat in the room! Amazing venue ran by the nicest people. Best place I have ever seen concerts!
Such an interesting building! The main room was great, and my partner and I were impressed by the soundproof quality of the doors. The workers are genuine and pleasant..
Pick a night...any night, and go see a show at The Ark. Before the show, grab a nice dinner at any number of excellent restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor. Then grab a drink and some popcorn to enjoy on your way to your seats. If youd like beer & wine, you pay a very small, reasonable fee of $5 to join the private club. For $20, youre a member for a year. Join up! The Ark is all volunteer run and the $20 (or more if you like a few more perks!) will be one of your favorite investments. Oh yeah...the music. I have seen many, many shows at The Ark. The quality of the entertainers that they attract is absolutely outstanding. Every time I bring a friend along that hasnt been there, the reaction is the same: Wow!
We love The Ark. Its intimate and a great place to discover new artists.
Paid $36 for a comedy show, which is on the high end of reasonable, but ok. Was shaken down for an additional fee for the privilege of overpaying for a warm beer and $4 mocha which was just burnt drip coffee with lumpy cocoa packet mix floating on the top. Before the show we had to sit through a guilt trip about how we should donate money. Proceeded to sit through a show with a pillar obscuring half the stage. Acoustics were okay.
Beautiful, quiet non-profit venue with an acoustic atmosphere and friendly vibes. Great place to catch a quick show after a nice dinner at the various eats in downtown Ann Arbor.
Great low-key and intimate music venue. My favorite spot to see live music in the area. They do a great job keeping good acts coming through.
I love live music, especially in smaller venues. The Ark is wonderful with great acts coming through more than 300 nights each year.
Folk and indie music heaven. Intimate venue for enjoying vastly underappreciated talent and without killing your budget. One of the top 5 things about Ann Arbor.
Theyre remodeling so its a bit of a hassle with things like the elevator not working. Otherwise it was very good. Saw Al Stewart. He is as entertaining as ever. Great show.
Fabulous music by Jim Bizer and Jan Krist at The Ark! The Ark is one of the best venues I go to for listening to music. Its the perfect size for a concert. The acoustics are great. When you join The Ark as a member you help keep this gem going strong. Love The Ark!
Great theaterHad a really good time at the Birds of Chicago Concert we went to. If you want to purchase alcohol you need to be a member of the Ark which costs as little as 5 bucks.
Great live music venue; even general admission seats were AWESOME! Saw Arlo Guthrie. Worth the four hour drive for sure!!
Amazing venue with a great staff! Very friendly and very helpful. Theyre remodeling the place a bit, so itll look even better soon. Highly recommended.
The Ark is wonderful. They put on the Ann Arbor Folk Festival and bring in so many quality musical acts each season. It would be nice if they sold alcohol to non-members!
Great music, great sound. Its a really nice place to go with friends and listen good live music. Musicians love it too.
Ann Arbors music spot. It resonates with the right frequencies on several tones at once - harmony rings here! And its right next to Blue Llama, the new jazz spot!
Wonderful concert by talented musician, songwriter and storyteller Gabriel Kahane. The Ark is always a comfortable, welcoming non profit venue. Feels like home.
The space is intimate. The crowd is polite. The acts Ive seen are great. This is one of my favorite venues ever.
The Ark is an Ann Arbor treasure! Its always worth the 100 mile drive from Kalamazoo to see the excellent artists hosted there. The volunteers and employees are incredible.
Nice venue. A little over priced for what it is with DTE drink prices, but its a cool small place to see a show. I would go back.
Intimate venue. General admission is great if you want to get good seats. I wish theyd have the vocals a little louder.
This is the greatest venue to hear acoustic folk music (other kids too). Intimate, up close and great sound.
Saw Tom Rush here, my girlfriend and her father got to speak with him and get his autograph. Not a huge venue, but a historic one and very intimate.
Not what its touted to be acoustically.My wife and I attended the Vienna Teng performance on September 27, 2013. We had never been to the Ark before and looked eagerly toward visiting the venue. (I have been a fan of Ms. Shihs work for many years and heard her perform in small venues, with light stage amplification - all great experiences.)First, despite its small size and seats located in the second row stage right. The music blared from overhead monitors controlled by a mixing board in the back of the room. To hear Tengs voice directly reveals sweet nuance and subtlety of this talented artist. This could have been easily done with light stage amplification - albeit with more difficulty.This was all lost once the PA system finished compressing and homogenizing the subtlety and nuance out of the equation.Secondly, on those songs that were softer and less reliant on the PA amplification there was a background drone of drums and bass off beat. I scoured the stage to find who was playing the drum and playing it badly. Upon leaving we discovered a club nearby blaring its own (recorded) music and it was the bass and drums bleeding into the Arks acoustic environment.We met a number of people who appeared to be regulars - enamored with the Ark. The faithful will not be swayed.Tengs performance was very good, but we left feeling disappointed with a lingering sense about the emperors new clothes and the Ark.Were not likely to return.
This place is cool! Small & intimate & comfortable. The staff is awesome and only add to the welcoming thrill of each event happening here!
Hidden gem of a venue! So intimate, well- kept, and acoustically fantastic! The volunteers are always friendly and helpful.
I love this venue. It has wonderful musical performances that are seen by wonderful crowds. I always leave with a smile!
Great venue. Music sounds great and comfortable seating. They have drinks and very limited snacks.
A wonderful little venue. Over the Rhine here cant be missed. The venue is comfy and well maintained and the staff is so welcoming.
The best little venue this state has to offer. They truly bring in top notch artists for youre listening pleasure.
This is the most intimate venue Ive ever been too. If you ever have the option to see a concert at the Ark Id highly recommend you go.
Great place for an intimate show. The acoustics were awesome! Alot of talent has been there!
Nice venue to hear music. Dont like the cumbersome way they sell alcohol, though.Makes for a tremendous amount of avoidable inconvenience.
This place is fantastic. Clean, well designed and beautiful. The staff is so kind and helpful. Its clear they have a passion for music.
Ive never been to a bad show here. Always outstanding musicians in an intimate setting. This is a very special place.
The music was great.vDo not like that they took rlthe comfortable theater seats out and put stacking chairs in. In the reserved seating area it is difficult to get around someone that is in the aisle because there is no where to go.
2nd time Ive been here for a show called Open Book by the lead singer of Blue October, Justin Furstenfeld. No matter where you sit, great sound throughout.
The Ark us a State of Michigan classic. Great music is always booked there. Watching a concert at the Ark is like watching a concert in your living room.
We are losing venues and I am so glad this one still stands!! Great artists all the time. Wonderful place!
One of the best venues for a live show, small enough that even the farthest seats are good.
Excellent menu to enjoy music and a very intimate setting. Come early if you want to get good seats.
Intimate listening room in downtown Ann Arbor for all kinds of musicians. Reserved seating for members, general seating for everyone else. Alcohol sold to members.
An Amazing place to see a performance for many years now and Ive seen quite a few here. Thank You for all the acts youve brought to Michigan over the years.
Fantastic venue. I couldnt possibly get to all the great shows they put on every year.
We were in town for a week and went to the ark 3 times. Only regret is its hundreds of miles from home. Over 300 awesome shows per year!
Must be a member to purchase alcohol. No frills seating in banquet chairs. Comfortable. Dont buy popcorn.
Intimate venue with awesome staff brings in some of the best live music around - a must visit - again and again!
Fun concert venue.
The Ark is an exquisite small music venue with excellent acoustics and featuring a variety of folk and roots musical performances. Atrue gem of Americana!
Awesome venue. No bad seats, great sound. Highly recommend!
Went to see David Bromberg tonight. The Ark is always amazing and now theyre renovating since they just paid the mortgage off and have the cash to do so. Fully fully fully recommended
Very friendly staff (all volunteers) and not a bad seat in the house. Its the perfect place to see a performance.
Best music venue in the region. Nice sound quality. People go there to appreciate the music, not to party
Awesome as always. Great venue, not a bad seat in the house and an awesome show.
Great venue for up close music !
A wonderful and intimate venue for concerts. We have been many times, and always receive excellent service
I will go see a group I even slightly want to see just to go enjoy The Ark. You get an intimate setting and amazing service from the volunteers. Go and enjoy a great night of music and fun!
This place is a mecca for folk and roots music performers. I have long since lost count of the number of people who have have stood on the stage and said some variation of, Ive always dreamed of playing here!
Hard to find at first with all of the construction. Getting tickets ugh could be better. The seats are ok i guess. Just really cool to see whos playing
Not going to spoil anything. If youre new to A2, you just have to go to at least one performance! Definitely recommend coming to see Darlingside when they stop by!
Great sound in listening room. Comfortable venue that brings in a variety of talented musicians
Great place to see live entertainment.Small enough that there is not bad seat in the house.
Great venue with a great purpose. If you want to support the music arts this is place to do it.

Great place to hear quality music in an intimate venue. A real gem.
Great venue for a small audience. Sound in there is great. Always a good time at the Ark.
My favorite venue for live music. Some of the best concerts Ive ever been to have been at The Ark.

2022-08-04We went to The Ark for the first time this evening to see Skerryvore. The Ark is a non profit that exists on the generosity of donors and volunteers. The Ark is an intimate space for music so, they follow Covid guidelines and ask that patrons wear masks. The Ark was clean and the tickets were inexpensive to see live music. The band was exceptional and I will definitely come back to this venue for live entertainment. I parked behind The Ark on Ashley street and parking was $5.40. You can pay to become a member and I plan to do that online to support the arts and entertainment in Ann Arbor. I definitely recommend coming and seeing live music in this intimate and welcoming atmosphere!

2022-07-14The performance and staff were incredible, but there was no AC running in July. For a sold out crowd on an upper floor stage it was unbearably hot which made fully enjoying the experience nearly impossible. There was a point where we considered leaving it was that bad. While we do wish to come back for more shows, but it would be nice if this issue was addressed.

2022-06-06Went for Matt Anderson show with Terra Lightfoot. What an amazing venue. Comfortable, great sound, an intimate setting for both performances. A six star show and venue! Go stubby fingers!

2022-07-08Ive been going here over a decade. Some seats are obstructed and terrible. There needs to be more warning. Most artists are very nice and meet up afterwards.

2022-04-01Great venue that reminds me of my high school 🏫 music classroom.
Review №7
2022-03-08My husband and I drove 40 minutes to see one of our favorite music artists, Joshua Radin who sings the song that I walked down the aisle to at our wedding and it was very special for us to get to see him. We waited in line in the freezing cold and only when we got to the front did they tell us that we couldn’t get in without vaccination cards (which we don’t have)…but then proceeded to tell us to go inside to ask for a refund…after just telling us that we couldn’t go inside without proof of vaccination. They never sent us an email about this enforcement and requirement of vaccination was not found anywhere on the ticket.

2022-02-16The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was amazing! I bought tickets to see Heywood Banks for my family and it was a great show, comfortable seating, good refreshments. We travelled from a couple hours away for this and it was well worth it!

2018-10-13Amazing place for love music over 50 yrs. 400 seat intimate space, non profit. New artists, second careers of musicians, world and local musicians. This is a music lovers listening room. Take a chance and go!
