The Pyramid Scheme

There are great combinations in life, Pints & Pinball is one of them.

This is one of my favorite haunts when Im in Grand Rapids.

Chill vibe, lots of machines, good beer on tap. What more do you need?

What an incredible place to see an underground concert! Great sight lines and thumping sound make for a wonderful show. With a good selection of foreign and domestic beers served by welcoming bartenders, your experience is sure to be just as fun as mine!

Fantastic place! Bar and pinball machines galore in the front. Bar and bands in the back. Great combo! We saw the Wailers (minus Bob Marley of course) and they were incredible! We were so close to them! It was an amazing night. Decent drink prices too and the service was great!

one of my the best pinball bars in the nation! (my opinion). the only other one i think of is paranoia pinball in charlotte north carolina (AS OF WRITING THIS i have learned that paranoia pinball in north carolina is either closed or moving locations, let's hope the latter). ..... most "arcade bars" are overpriced in the machines and drinks, cater to kids or nerds, put more effort into the video games (pinball is the only thing i care about), or have some kind of gimmick ie. cidercadr in austin tx (only thing to drink is stupid cider) or the circuit in richmond va that is pour-your-own beer (which leads ofc to people who don't know how to pour paying $15 for a tap modelo). anyways this place doesn't do any of those things and actually rocks. smoking area outside, there are bums but most are friendly. they have ginger beer and tequila (my favorite drink). the best machines are 50c and give matches. the lotr machine is the best running and most fun of that particular game i've ever played! i played it all night! i don't remember leaving but i made it to where i needed to be. no food served here. also they have some really great bands that i respect love and trust play here. highly recommend this business.

Being able to come here and play on the pinball machines have been a joy I like the variety of the pinball machines they have be careful you could wind up spending hours on the games.
The location is pretty fair as long as you can find a parking spot near by.

Fun venue for local bands to perform on stage in a high-energy, intimate, athmosphere.

As this is a smaller venue, seating is limited and I would advise the 35+ crowd to arrive early, unless you don't mind standing. Be sure to pay attention to the drink specials to get the best deals.

The bar area features over a dozen pinball games for a brief diversion while you are hanging out. While popular with 20-somethings, I've seen the 50+ crowd attend as well.

Had a great time! Good drinks, super fun playing pinball, bought an amazing limited edition movie poster. We will definitely be back!!

This was such a great experience! I went to see the sold out Destroy Boys concert and it was such a great venue. The workers are great and the pinball machines up front are a nice touch. I am not sure if this applies to all shows, but you have to be vaccinated or have a PCR test within 72 hours. I look forward to coming again!

Girls bathroom had no toliet paper. Pinball machines need a price or how to start them because I put 3 dollars in the Halloween one and couldn't get it to work 😆 love the atmosphere of front and the back venue part and FREE Water. That alone is worth 5 stars, definitely helped my night. Bring earplugs, forgot mine and the music got to loud for me and had to leave early.

Great rock club. Great sound. Clean. Safe. Pleasant. Parking garage around the corner, no validation, but only $10 event parking. One of the nicer venues in GR.

Cool place to go for sure! Walking distance from JW Marriott about 10, 15 mins easy walk. Nice place cool people, younger crowd but a mix of older too. Fun place

Very cool bar/pinball arcade and concert venue. They also have a wide range of screen printed art you can buy hung all throughout the bar as well as t-shirts.

Felt so good to be back at one of the best bars/venues in the state! Got our pinball fix, drank a lot of beer, and saw a great show. 100/10 would always recommend!

Went there for the mystery skulls concert bought drinks throughout the night when I was getting ready to leave I went up to the bar to tip my bartender and he yelled at me for not tipping at all then my friend got on his case about it and we were kicked out by security great place. sorry it got like that at the end make sure to tip your bartender as much as you can here -also really good concert

The best concert venue in town. The best pinball in the state. They have many of the latest machines from Stern and some from the new companies too. Jersey Jack, Chicago Gaming, plus lots of classics.

Doo me doobie !! Awesome place for entertainment 😎 i enjoyed the show i attended. Beer and liquor $$ great people mature and professional staff.

What a great little venue! Arcade and bar in the front, concert hall in the back. Fun beer selection, very intimate, good lighting and sound.

Great beer specials! Wanted something different to do since we were only in town for the weekend and this was pretty neat! Lots of different pinball games! They had a live band you could pay a cover to see but we just wanted to play pinball.

Cool selection of pinball machines.

Awesome, intimate venue with tons of fantastic local bands and national acts. Everything sounds amazing, but can sometimes get a little loud for sensitive ears. Bring some hi-def earplugs and you'll be perfect.

Drinks are cheap, and there are raised areas to either side where you can sit or stand when watching a show.
