Doors are now 
open Saturdays 
every other week

BY LINDSEY SCULLEN

Daily Staff Reporter

The lights were dimmed in 

Mighty Good Coffee, a small café 
in downtown Ann Arbor. Lit can-
dles lined the tables, and bassist 
Lenny Swanson — Mighty Good 
Coffee’s wholesale and general 
manager — led a house band 
through a few jazz standards. 
Interestingly enough, as cus-
tomer chatter buzzed around the 
shop, coffee wasn’t the drink of 
choice.

For the third time, Mighty 

Good Coffee moonlighted as 
the Brillig Dry Bar on Saturday 
night, opening its doors to the 
public and ushering in crowds of 
people looking to drink without 
getting drunk.

The opening marked the bar’s 

official commitment to operating 
every other week, though owner 

Nic Sims said Brillig will likely 
welcome customers on a more 
regular basis in coming months.

“It’s a fun and lively place for 

people who are looking for a 
night on the town without all of 
the trappings that come along 

with an alcoholic bar — the noise 
levels, the TVs and the alcohol,” 
Sims said. “I mean it’s really just 
about an alcohol-free, fun place 
to hang out.”

Sims is part of the alcohol-

recovery community, as are 
many of her patrons. With the 
dry bar, she said, she is providing 
others with a fun way to “over-
come their demons.”

Brillig serves non-alcoholic 

classics, like a Brooklyn Egg 
Cream, and alternatives to tra-
ditionally alcoholic beverages, 
like its Vernors Orange Sour. 
The bar’s drink menu changes to 
include seasonal fruits and fla-
vors — for example, Sims recent-
ly switched from a cranberry 
sour to the orange.

For sake of reference, a “whis-

key sour” typically involves 
whiskey, lemon juice and sugar; 
the Vernors Orange Sour entails 
fresh orange juice and “sour 
sauce,” which consists of cider 
vinegar, fresh ginger and powder 
ginger.

Sims’ husband David Myers 

owns Mighty Good Coffee. He 
and Sims conceptualized Brillig 
during Thanksgiving this year — 
they wanted to find a way to use 
the shop after coffee-drinking 
hours had ended.

Sims said in total, the conver-

sation that catapulted Brillig Dry 

Bar into existence lasted 15 min-
utes.

“I came up with the name, I 

sketched out a logo, we made a 
plan for what we would serve 
and then we decided that we 
would test it,” Sims said.

The bar’s name, “Brillig,” 

comes from one of Sims’ favorite 
poems — “Jabberwocky” from 
Lewis Carroll’s “Through the 
Looking Glass.”

“The poem has a lot of mean-

ing to me as a person,” she said. 
“I relate it to recovery in that 
everybody has a jabberwocky 
or a demon or something that 
they’re trying to deal with.”

“ ‘Brillig’ appears in the first 

line of the poem. It means ‘the 
time of day when you switch 
from daytime to evening cook-
ing.’ ”

The bar opened for the first 

time Dec. 5, coinciding with Ann 
Arbor’s “Midnight Madness,” a 
night of holiday sales, caroling 
and shopping.

Sims said about 250 to 300 

people passed through the dry 
bar that opening night, initiating 
it as a hot spot for people around 
Ann Arbor and beyond.

The next pop-up opening 

came Dec. 29. Bartender Eric 
Monaghan said the result was 
similar — all sorts of people 
showed up, some from as far 

away as Toledo, Ohio.

Monaghan added that the bar 

has attracted two demographic 
groups in particular: pregnant 
women and Muslims, both of 
which are known not to drink 
alcoholic beverages.

“It’s been very interesting — 

the different crowds that we’ve 
attracted,” 
Monaghan 
said. 

“We’ve gotten a lot of students, 
which I found surprising at first.”

Monaghan said because Ann 

Arbor is known for its non-dry 
nightlife, it was a bit of a won-
der that so many students have 
shown up to Brillig.

LSA sophomore Maddy Moog 

was one of the students at Brillig 
on Saturday night.

“One thing I really liked about 

it was that it was like a judge-free 
zone,” Moog said. “It was a great 
way to go out with friends and 
not feel like you had any pressure 
on you to consume alcohol.”

However, to Sims, the fact that 

students are drawn to Brillig is a 
particular type of success, a solu-
tion to a question she had long 
been trying answer.

“How can I provide an alterna-

tive to the myth that recreation 
requires alcohol consumption?” 
Sims asked. “How can I make 
teens understand that it’s not a 
right of passage to grow up, to be 
drunk?”

She said she wanted to show 

young people that they could go 
out to a bar-like environment and 
have fun without getting drunk. 
This message is particularly 
important to Sims because she 
and her husband have two teen-
age children, one 16 and one 17.

In addition to the family and 

baristas from Mighty Good Cof-
fee, several of Sims’ friends also 
wanted to be a part of the Brillig 
project and work dry bar events.

“It always feels like we’re just 

having a big party at the café,” 
Sims said.

As of now, Sims’ party drink 

of choice is the Brooklyn Egg 
Cream — being from Brooklyn 
herself, it makes her “nostalgic 
and happy and feel good.”

The Brooklyn Egg Cream is 

also one of Monaghan’s favorites.

“It almost makes you feel like 

you’re a kid, it’s like a choco-
late soda,” Monaghan said. “It’s 
been one of our most consistent 
drinks. It’s really nice and sweet 
and a lot of people really like it.”

Sims said each step she takes 

with Brillig is a baby step toward 
expanding the community’s idea 
of nightlife culture. Now, she is 
beginning to consult with other 
businesses interested in mirror-
ing her business model and has 
trademarked some of the dry 
bar’s drinks.

“This is my heart and soul and 

guts, everywhere,” she said.

 32 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (JAN. 26, 1983)

Students protest research

CHANMEE CHUNG/Daily

Engineering junior Daniel Lee and Engineering senior Kristina Kim 
preform at The Engineering Games presented by The Society 
Auditorium at Stamps Auditorium Saturday. 

DISNEY DUET

Almost 30 students pro-

tested 
defense 
research 

by marching to then-Vice 
President 
Charles 
Over-

berger’s office. The stu-
dents wore “U-M military 
research kills” T-shirts and 
demanded that Overberger 
come to a public forum and 
explain why the University 
is increasing its amount of 
military research.

Overberger, 
the 
vice 

president of research, was 
believed by some student 
groups to have a final say on 
what research was conduct-
ed at the University.

“Your decision is final on 

what research goes on,” said 
LSA senior Ken Naffziger. 

“Whether it is research with 
killing or not.”

Overberger said a forum 

organized by the Research 
Policies Committee would 
be helpful.

11 years ago this week 

(Jan. 28, 2004)

University 
students 

received e-mails infected 
with the MyDoom virus, 
which spread through email 
and peer-to-peer file sharing 
programs.

Bruce Burrell, a computer 

anti-virus team leader for 
Virus Busters, a division of 
the University’s Information 
Technology Center Servic-
es, said the virus became a 

problem because the updat-
ed virus definitions that pre-
vent the virus from reaching 
students were unavailable 
when the virus attacked.

“The bottom line is, if 

you get an attachment from 
someone, you never open it,” 
he said. “You contact that 
person and ask, ‘Did you 
send me something?’ ”

A $250,000 reward was 

offered by a Utah-based 
UNIX system supporting 
and 
consulting 
company 

called the SCO Group, for 
information leading to the 
arrest and conviction of 
those who created the virus.
