Visiting family and they brought us here. Wow! What an amazing place! Lots of board games to choose from. Great for families, friends, and dates. Nice way to learn a game before buying it, or play an old favorite. Wide variety of food options. RECOMMENDATION: reserve a table. This place fills up fast! You will be glad you did.

They unfortunately segment the two sections of the room, even on Commander Night, which inevitably leads to severe cramping, extreme heat and missed opportunities for players. They really should prioritize seating for people based on specific interests, hence seating for Commander players on said “Commander Night” - otherwise it results in lost time for some people. Food wasn’t bad though. Kinda tastes like White Castles.

As if it were foretold in the very walls that the foundation of this grand gaming lounge was forged, it has been a high honor to be in the presence of a building so full of life and hope that it has made me see the world for what it truly is: beautiful. No building may be perfect, but this definitely is one of them that are close to it

I only visited for roughly 2 hours a few days ago. From my short experience here I would definitely say it’s worth stopping by! The food I had was pretty good, the atmosphere was very welcoming, yet comforting. I would like to come back again in the future.

I LOVE going to House Rules. They do a great job at making everyone feel included and welcome. One of my favorite places in Grand Rapids!

There’s a few places I wish I could give 6-10 stars to. house rules lounge is one of them. Tampons and pads in the men’s restroom. Do I need to say more… great experience! Come by, enjoy!

Came in for a trivia night one night and have been coming to Commander Wednesdays ever since. Astoundingly friendly folks who come to the events, great drinks selection, and great food. I recommend this place every chance I get.

Update: Owner replied to this review and it's promising. Plus another star for the timely response and what the remedy to the problem is. Going to give them another try. Looking forward to it.
I want to give this place 5 stars, I do. However since their remodel and addition of a kitchen, it smells nasty and greasy from poor ventilation of the fryers. I don't think I'll ever be back so long as they can't get it under control. The last thing I want to do is get dressed up for a night downtown, drive the 35 minutes to get there, only to smell like I worked at McDonald's for 12 hours when I get home. I thought the first time was a fluke a couple weeks ago, but I tried again last night. Nothing changed, so me and our friends will not be back. Shame, as everything else really gave this place potential. Stay away unless you like smelling like a grease ball.

Went here for the first time for lunch and love the food! These sliders and waffle fries were on point. Large selection of beverages and games to choose from. 🍔 🍟
