Spencer is a restaurant at 113 E. Liberty in downtown Ann Arbor. Steve Hall and Abby Olitzky opened this restaurant and cheese bar in October 2015, after raising $33,000 on Kickstarter to get it going.

When first planned, the restaurant was to be called Central Provisions, but the owners decided to change the name to avoid a conflict with a similarly named restaurant in Portland, ME.
