This strip mall theater is a fun place for adults. The shows are not kid friendly.The service is kind. They brew not only beer, but also tea and coffee. They also serve snacks, but not a full meal.The shows are all improv based with the house team doing a walk, trot, run format.One interesting element here is that the technical improviser was better than average, wiping the scenes in a way to help the performers.The space is wheelchair friendly.

Great small-space-turned-theater-brewery. I wouldnt have thought it would work, but the cozy/intimate environment is actually really nice for enjoying performances. I like the local community support they do too.

This place is great! Cant wait for it to re-open

I initially went to watch an improv show on a Friday night. The venue is on the smaller size, but there is still plenty of seating (high-tops, bat seating, and regular audience chairs).The show was funny and engaging and the performers seemed to be having a great time, encouraging the audience to have a great time, too.Pointless brewery has an active improv school, as well. I went to one of their short-form drop-in/open mic sessions on a Sunday and had a riotously good time. They encouraged the audience to act through various scenes and situations (audience members do not need to perform if they dont want to) and the whole experience was within a safe space, which added to the positive environment.I absolutely see myself continuing to participate in these open-mic nights in the future.

Great improv comedy along with great beer, and a decent selection of snacks priced reasonably.

Great place to enjoy local performances. They specialize in improv comedy but have a huge range of other shows. Parking can be a bit tricky, so get there early! You can have a chance to see the next big comedian before theyre too pricy!

They make good beer and they tell good jokes. Really fun place to try if youre looking for something new to do.

The seating chart is a little tight and awkward, but the shows are great! Love going here to watch their improv. Their Shakespeare plays were incredible. They will keep you laughing the whole time.

If you like improv, Pointless Brewery is the place to go, and on Sundays you can try improv yourself

I had a really good time here. It is very small but the improv was pretty good. I was also impressed with the beer which was tasty.

I went to Pointless Brewery for the first time last Thursday 1/3. I brought a two friends and we all left so inspired. The show was so intimate and unique Ill never forget my first experience. It was so good that I decided to come back the next evening, and someone I knew was there! I enjoyed the spirits & atmosphere very much. Highly recommended!

My wife and I have really enjoyed the improv shows. Its great to sit and watch the talent with a nice brew too!

As small as the place seemed, great vibes and great beer and service offerings. Ill be back again.

Saw Forte Factory last night and they were great. Beer was really good too.

We love this place! Outstanding improv comedy and great beer!

Good laughs an craft brews very welcoming cozy establishment

I went with a friend and I totally expected to feel awkward for an hour watching people do shady improv. I was really impressed! The improv groups were all amazing and great actors, and I could not stop laughing! They even had a pianist on hand for musical improv, which was way better than I thought itd be. A great pick for entertainment on a Saturday night with friends.

Pointless is, hands down, the best improv I have ever seen - and I live in Chicago. Since I moved out of Ann Arbor, I miss Pointless so much Ive thrown myself multiple pity parties over it. Its a great place for various occasions because you can bring people there and have an awesome time, but you can also go by yourself and its not weird. The beer is cheap and good.

Fantastic microbrewery and solid improv comedy. Its definitely a small and cozy place but in a very friendly sort of way. The bartender was fantastic and let me sample the brews before selecting. The staff was very friendly and the improv cast was fun. Great night out.

Good beer, hilarious improve shows

Interesting little place Ive apparently been riding by four months or years. Improv show was cool and fun. I tiny drink alch really so cant comment but I had cool pop and chips choices. Really laid back easy going place

Cute little place. Entry fee is on a per show basis, and so it isnt like a door charge where you can get in and chill all night. Instead, the show ends and you get hurried out. They had a nice selection of beers and snacks. The amateur show was super funny.

I only came in to have the beer and it was very good. From a brewery perspective there are certainly better atmospheres if you just want a beer and to talk, but they offer unique entertainment if youre into that

Interesting place for a unique night of improv or comedy. Worth going once.

The Improv comedy show was hilarious and it was cool to try the different craft beers they had on tap.

Great beer, the variety was welcome too, truly a great deal of options. A back to basics microbrew. The improv was amazing too, the house was packed and the people on stage are truly talentled.

When we went, it wasnt packed like I always hear it is, but it was fairly full. The beer was actually really good. We saw 3 performances of improv,and I would say that two of the three troupes were really good. I would definitely go back!

Awesome hidden gem! Its off the beaten trail a bit but so worth it! Ive always had a good time when I see a show here. They are good about bringing in new troupes to perform. The beer is great too!

We went for date night. We had a good time and will go again. The improv was fun. The beer was surprisingly good. Staff is very friendly. Tickets are priced right.

Amazing place to laugh, learn, and enjoy amazing craft beer libations. A place to spend the night out with friends, on a date, or flying solo (note: theres an open mic, so feel free to come alone or in group to try improv, standup, singing, or whatever suits your particular fancy). Its all pointless anyway...

Fun laid back place. Enjoyed watching the improve show.

Tiny little improv theater in outskirts of Ann Arbor. they have a bar with beer, coffee and snacks and a tiny little main stage. It is wise to book your tickets in advance and arrive early as the seating is not assigned and the total number of seats is quite small.

Chill night wuth some good in house craft brews. Black IPA is whats up.

Great shows and craft beers. Good change up for a Saturday night out.

Pointless Brewery and Theater has amazing entertainment and great beer. I was there for HerSay IV - an annual event of women poets, storytellers, and musicians. Sellout crowd, great response and thank you to Pointless in helping us to contribute to a great cause!

Wasnt a fan of the improb show. Seemed to have more actors than audience. Not a good date night unless you happen to be an improb actor. It started late and they o ly have their own beer.

Small intimate venue with great micro brews. Definitely come by on the last Sunday of the month for a blast of open Mic potential. Lots of comics have been coming through and its a great time.

Super good beer that rotates frequently, and the improv shows are fantastic.

I pictured stand-up comedy at a downtown Ann Arbor brewery. First of all... no. It appeared to be a small store front in a Packard strip of stores, which made me pause, but this was the date we had planned, so we pressed on. Im glad we did. The inside was very clever. The ambience felt a little like a jazz club. It was quality. The place was nearly full. This is a popular place, and for good reason as we later learned. When the audience was polled, there was about a 50/50 mix of regulars and first timers that attended. They have a small, but varied selection of delicious beers that rotates weekly. The entertainment was all improv, and these guys are good at it! We laughed so hard, and would have even without the alcohol. We were still reciting memorable lines from the show long after we left. That was a super fun date night!

Gone three times and enjoy every time.

Had lots of fun! Staff is very friendly and drinks are great.

We tried this for date night. Not our type of humor. Not our type of beer. We would not go back.Two stars for: Staff was very nice. Public restroom was very nice

The beer is good (home brewer) and the improv is funny. I really enjoyed going. It is a small comfortable venue. Casual low pressure atmosphere. I will be going again.

They have been in business for a few years now, and the brews and comedy have both improved. Thats pretty impressive, because both were great to begin with.

Good times, good atmosphere, great beer. What else do you need?

I love the energy. The groups are awesome. Check out first and third Sunday for evening events.

Laugh like an idiot for cheap and the beer, brewed by the owner and improviser, is ridiculously good and you can get a pint for about $6. A great night out when you are looking for something to do. The community there is great.

Good in house made beer, super friendly people who are genuinely happy to have you there and a fun show. Support this small, local business!

Friendly staff and yummy beer at a good price. Snacks are a good deal too. The improv was a little painful, with brief merciful releases of hilarity. Overall, too much awkwardness and some no-butting. Tickets were also more than I expected for a 10pm improv show, and less than half the theater was full.

Very fun nite out

Great beer & awesome comedy. I saw a Shakespeare improv show there, & it was among the best I have seen!

Really funny night, nice place.

Great place for improvsiers to showcase their talents, as well as a place for people to see some great comedy.

We went to our first ever improv show here and it was awesome!! The people were very friendly, the beer was great and the performers had my husband and I laughing all night.

My husband and I went here for the first time last weekend. Great spot. We enjoyed ourselves

Good atmosphere. Solid talent. Need to change their pricing structure on beer/food so there is no loose change due. A beer should be $5 even, not $5.30, in my opinion. Making change takes time and creates an unnecessary delay.

Loved it. So much fun and good beer too.

Great shows, beer, and improv jams

Great cast, beer and prices.

Pointless is the best place to watch improv comedy in Ann Arbor. Its house troupe are pros and it garners so many talented people. Great place to laugh hysterically.

The show was really fun and loved how they had the crowd involved.

This place is great. Its a brewery AND an improv hotspot. Their beer selection goes fast, but thats because its so good. Ive never had a bad beer from there, and the shows are solidly funny.

Super freaking funny improv shows! A-must-visit for improv lovers. Good beers. Low key dive ambience made me becoming a regular there.. :)

Interesting beer, funny improv games, would recommend!

Crowded place for ticket price. Cheap beer!

Their homemade beer is really good, a bit of a small place but very friendly people

Fun place!

Small theater with quality brews. Cozy and fun!

Good local drinks and foods, pleasant and clean, nice people.

Small theater with their own in house brewed beer. There are always different improv groups coming through, no two shows are the same.

Its a great place for improv and craft beer. Lots of fun and entertaining troupes including their home team the league of pointless improvisors!

Had a great time. Good beer and good laughter.

Nice place. Desert choices in beer.

Great beers.. even better comedy shows!

The staff was very friendly. My boyfriend and I had a fun night out with some good laughs.

They have the best improv jams in metro detroit. The beer. The beer is also fantastic. Go see funny shows, do improv, and have a good time.

Great shows and pretty good beer too

A nice small theater where you can see some improv shows, with good beer. It is self service.

So much fun! Cant wait to go back!

Good beer. Not an improve fan, but the show was something interesting to watch while drinking.

Very eclectic place, fun, good improv.

I love this place!!!

Excellent brews, hilarious crews, and even a little something for the kids. Love it at Pointless!

Great beer and comedy show

My first time here, had a blast & was in tears from laughing as soon as the show started.

Very good.

Great atmosphere.

Shows, beer and classes are spectacular!

So much fun!!

Great beer and great fun.

Craft beer and comedy skits! Awesome!

Nice

Table games available

Small, fun.
