In my many years of living here, I never got around to going to The Pyramid Scheme and now I'm regretting it. I should have done this years ago. Better late than never!

I attended The Funeral Portrait concert here. For those who read this and have never heard of them, trust me when I say that they are amazing. Anyway, back to the description. The venue is a lot bigger than anticipated and is definitely bigger on the inside. From what little time I spent in the front bar area, it's sharp, yet casual. Fun, but relaxing. I can't say much about the dinks as I didn't partake, but I'm sure they're awesome. All the staff are super awesome and very approachable. I am definitely going back for another show in December and may just have to pop in on one of my off nights to update this review.

I've been here a few times and it's a solid place for a show or some pinball with friends. Also very happy that they have a few non-alcoholic options at the bar. Great vibes, cool staff.

They have pinball machines, but have witnessed drug deals happening inside this establishment. Management is in denial that anything bad is happening and I feel like the police should be watching this place. Weird seeing $500k worth of pins alongside people dealing.
Avoid this hole in the wall disguised as a good venue/bar.

Love this place, one of my favorite local venues. I only wish I was able to get out to shows here more frequently. Props to whomever is responsible for assembling their lineups.

Small venue for a show. Can get cramped. Atmosphere is electric when themiaoc kicks in.
Bar is full of beers, food options and the usual pub fare.

Cherry ramp is closeby to park. About a block down.

Beer is too expensive, but they provide water so not too bad.
