    This bar has a very laid back atmosphere with no frills. A true gem settled near Eastown. Cash only, always take care of your bartenders

    Eighty years in business. The place is a classic and so are the regulars.

    Love the Garage Bar, but was disappointed on our last visit. Friday fish fry. My girlfriend got a…read morepiece of fish that was unidentifiable. I have worked in food service my entire life (over50 years) and never encountered this. Fish was breaded, fried and hard as a rock. Couldn't cut it with a fork. We mentioned to server and asked that she show it to the cook. Her attitude was extremely nonchalant and I doubt if anything was said. We will try again, but next time I will by-pass the server if we have any issues. Manager needs to know. Love the Garage Bar, but was disappointed on our last visit. Friday fish fry.

    AVOID. The food was not good at all. Both my friend and I got our orders with ingredients on them…read morethat we asked to be taken off, and the sides were really gross. The french fries were served soggy and old and the mac was stale, literally zero flavor, not even cheese flavor. The buns on my sandwich were nasty, had to take them off to enjoy the pulled pork. Even though the menu said you can substitute mac for the fries they upcharged me $3, and when I asked about it the manager said "sorry the menu is confusing, I'm trying to tell management to change it" but wouldn't take it off the bill. All in I split a curds app, got an incorrectly made sandwich and mac, and WATER NO SODA OR ALCOHOL, and I paid $31...

    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.
