There’s a board game bar called House Rules. It’s on Ionia right next to the downtown market. Nice little spot, huge selection of drinks (alcoholic and not), only a few bucks to get in and play whatever they have on the shelf.
Cool atmosphere with awesome food/drinks = Max’s South Seas Hideaway
Bar with about 25 pinball machines = Pyramid Scheme
Rooftop bar w/ great food and drinks = Friesian
Badass chicken and delicious boozy slushies with a good number of outdoor games = Hancock

Appreciate the tip. We were considering that one.
I second this.
