This was a most enjoyable hour of a day spent exploring the lower peninsula…read more I grew up with arcades, and I miss them very much. This place has all of the right trappings to make you remember what the experience used to be like. Right down to the candy and pop being available behind the counter. The pinball selection is terrific, best I've seen outside of the pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. A nice mixture of retro and modern machines. I was also impressed to see that every single machine was up and running with none down for maintenance. I was also happy with the selection of retro video games. Virtua fighter two used to be fun, I'm not as good at it as I used to be, lol. I would certainly enjoy coming back!

Came for the most amazing performance by comedian, Alok!…read more The Pyramid Scheme is a fun retro take on a dive bar known for their great shows, pinball machines and (somewhat) reasonably priced drinks. The staff may seem rough on the outer edges, but they are all actually teddy bears once you get to know them. Usually shows are standing room only, which is a drag if you are old like me and opt not to wear orthotics. Luckily, the 9 pm encore show was seated. My old bones appreciated this. Now look below as I'm fangirling in the attached photos! I absolutely adore Alok and their courage to humorously challenge the gender binary and systematically poke holes in the patriarchal system that comprises The USA.

i have been attending the Pyramid Scheme for years now. I absolutely love all of the staff and they…read morereally become like friends and family after constantly seeing them when attending shows. The lineups are often pretty diverse, now offering more local music and the addition of more free events to bring together the community. They've added vintage nights, trivia, and free pinball days which I think is a very important and necessary community good. The venue has a front half with a bar, pinball cabinets, and even some outdoor seating. The back hosts the concert venue with interior bar, seating, and elevated stage. I'm allergic to alcohol so I can't speak to the drinks nor the prices but they have free water jugs readily available which is a lifesaver during shows and is just such a small, nice feature to have access to. I definitely would recommend coming here for a concert, finding some new local music, or establishing a new hang out for your friends.

Just recently had lunch and played games here and had a great experience. We were there on a…read moreSaturday and it was honestly not as busy as I would have expected it to be. We ate first and got one of their deals where you pay $35 and get a $25 play card and an entree. It was definitely worth it and felt like a good value once we were done playing games. Obviously it depends on what you choose to play because they all cost a different amount of credits but we were able to play for about an hour and 15 minutes which felt like the perfect amount of time. We both enjoyed our meals and commented on how we were actually impressed with the food. Dave and Busters is definitely known for the games so their food is underrated! Our waiter in the dining area was tentative and friendly as well.

The bathrooms were nasty, I felt like a needed a shower after being in them and the stall doors didn't even lock. And the multiple times that we had to inform a worker of something, like the syrup being out in the fountain pop, they didn't show an ounce of concern. I even had one literally tell my wife, that's not my job. Also, I called a couple days before to ask a question, answering machine said they were busy with customers and would call back.... Never did.

Hear ye, hear ye! Gather 'round, good people of Grand Rapids!**…read more 'Tis I, your humble town crier, with news most dire from AJ's Family Fun Center, where the miniature golf course doth lie in a state of disrepair. On a fair Saturday afternoon, I did venture forth with my daughter and her beau, seeking merriment and sport upon the greens. Alas, what we found was naught but frustration and woe. The tee boxes, uneven and askew, did cause many a ball to veer off course from the very start. Though the greens were mostly fair, the holes themselves were in a sorry state, with broken or missing flags on all but two of the eighteen. The signs that should guide us were shattered, and the spinners that add challenge were but broken relics of their former selves. Twice did our balls become ensnared within the obstacles, and on the sixteenth hole, a dozen players before us did halt their play, for their balls were trapped and would not release until I, with great effort, did free them from their prison. Our complaints to the attendant were met with indifference, as though she were not paid enough to care for our plight. The arcade, a cacophony of noise, did drive us away from further games, and the cost of nine dollars for such a course seemed a grievous overcharge. Verily, I say unto thee, I shall not return to this place of discontent unless I hear tell of new management or grand improvements. Thus ends my tale of woe. Take heed, dear townsfolk, and spend thy coin wisely.

This was my first time at a bowling alley in many years. I did not know what to expect…read more It was a fun place to bowl with a clean, well-kept atmosphere. The lanes were in good shape and the staff were friendly and helpful (for the most part). Shout out to the bartender/server that came around to take our orders at the lanes. He was very nice and attentive. They also had plenty of food and drink options, which made it easy to hang out for a while. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but overall the experience was worth it. Great spot if you're looking for a fun day/night out with friends or family. I don't have anything to compare it to with other bowling alleys in the area. Maybe the prices are on target with other places. I just know that for us to bowl, rent shoes, appetizer, 2 beers, and one soda = about $90.00. We would come here again. I think it was worth it. My kid had a great time!
