Most bars in the gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual community seem to scream, "I'm ashamed of who I am". They were (and often still are) dark, with either no windows or obscured windows, rarely gave back to the community. We had been running a Mexican restaurant for many years, and felt we knew how to provide excellent food and service. We had been advertising exclusively in the gay press, so the transition was easy. An extensive renovation in collaboration with Betsy Williams, John Baird, and Tom Ward created a space that has been praised in local and national publications. This is truly a space that cries "\aut\ and PROUD.

Excellent bar. Everyone is welcome. Great atmosphere. I always enjoy it here. I wish I lived closer to it.
Great food, great drinks, great company, great staff, great fun and welcoming to everyone.
Great place
Great crowd, great food, nonsmoking area for most of night, terrific events.
It has been the epitome of the bright, open, out kind of bar, for men and women!
Consistently generous and available for the community. Welcoming to all, including families. Keith and Martin are extraordinary, working constantly to make this a better community. Ann Arbor is extremely fortunate to have them as successful leaders who have such respect.

I am really impressed by the Aut Bar's owners and staffs amazing community support. Open and visible to the public and community leaders, their efforts illustrate the personal side and humanity of the gay life. The folks at the Aut Bar help to educate and inform the general community by demonstrating the personal side and humanity of the gay community. I support and applaud their efforts.
The only gay/lesbian bar I visit when I come to town. Great food and drinks. Very friendly staff. The owners couldn't be nicer and always give back to the community.
Good food, great drinks and friendly staff. Always a fantastic place to go relax and see people you know. It's like Cheers, but gay!
Great food and atmosphere, nice patio.
It's simply the best - great food, great atmosphere, great people! Very welcoming to all. What more could one ask?
