The Hidden King has a heartwarming atmosphere, great to come here on thursdays for a date night and group socials on the weekends. Mark and his staff are incredible and are pushing boundaries in the Ann Arbor bar scene. ALSO the food menu here is a simple, savory masterpiece! I have tried the bread bites, goat cheese and prosciutto fontina sandwich. I waited with much anticipation for the menu's release and it did nothing but impress me and my girlfriend, thankyou for this space, we need it here in Ann Arbor. Show less

Fantastic Coffee shop and Bar! Great knowledgeable owner behind the bar who clearly takes pride in his service and offerings. They serve Absinthe! Being a recent Absinthe guy it was cool to see it on their menu and try their version. Had a nice chat with the owner about their spirits and where they source them from. Overall a great place for a night cap and a game of chess while enjoying said night cap. Very cool environment and my new favourite coffee bar in Ann Arbor! Show less

Best Cocktails I've had in a long time. Had a post Christmas get together with friends and we had a lot of fun. We tried several different drinks, all great, but gin and tonic is really special.

I’ve been to The Hidden King twice now, and both times have been fantastic experiences. Both times the owner, Mark, was incredibly kind and was more than happy to go through the menus. The coffee and cocktail menus, which are limited, and carefully curated and mastered. The space inside is immaculate and it really provides that authentic Ann Arbor vibe that I feel a lot of Main Street places have lost. If you’re looking for any cocktail recommendations, make sure to check out either the Black Manhattan (which I now prefer to traditional manhattans) or the Irish coffee (honestly the best Irish coffee I’ve ever had)!

Mark has created a magical little hide-away teeming with character. The Hidden King offers charming atmosphere, delicious drinks, and fantastic company if you’re open to it. We were lucky enough to stumble in on day 65 and look forward to returning.

Absolutely love this place! Ann Arbor needed a late night spot, and although it’s downtown, it feels like a neighborhood place. We love coming by to play games with friends. Their drinks are very good— the NA cold brew tonic is amazing! Only “mocktail” I’d ever choose over a real cocktail.

We Love love love Hidden King! My husband and I happened upon it when it first opened up. What an amazing find! Staff is exceptional. Mark is amazing and kind and friendly. Drinks are some of the best downtown. The bread bites are to die for. Very lucky to have this gem downtown!

The Hidden King respects tradition, welcomes new friends and offers an inviting and interesting space in which to enjoy food/drink. What a delightful gem on Main St. It’s our new favorite spot and we are so happy for them.

The Hidden King Cafe & Bar, a recent addition to the downtown scene. The building that houses The Hidden King was once a German beer hall, dating back to the 1880s. Cozy and chill vibes. It has taken me a bit to get here. Dinks have been made with a lot of love

Best cocktails and atmosphere AA hands down. Must try’s are the Irish coffee, cold brew martini, and the gin & tonic. However, anything you get will be good.

I'm going to have to keep this short as I have a endless supply of kind words about Hidden King. This place is the definition of hidden gem. The service was absolutely amazing, the inside looks like you're traveling into this super secret club with games at every table. Mark (the owner) is such a chill guy to talk to and very much approachable along with the rest of the staff. The drinks are also absolutely amazing. They have a bunch of creative spins to all of their drinks. If you also don't want to drink they have an assortment of teahaus teas that you can grab too. This place is just such a hidden gem and such a cool place to be. 10/10 - I tell everyone that would listen about Hidden King and how awesome it is. Show less

I've read so many things about this gin and tonic. I cannot believe how delicious it actually is. Drink prices are a steal, and the staff is just great. Very cool, dark place.

It's not the typical tonic it's definitely got a sweetness to it but not over powering. Highly recommend their G&T and if I'm back in the area will definitely be stopping.
