Im messaging to inform that the Pottercon in Grand Rapids May 20th was probably one of the WORST events I have been to. I came from Detroit to come to this convention because the Detroit event did not have tickets available. And this event was poor. First of all, the amount of people in a small venue was not planned well. Only 6 bartenders working! The lines were horrible, you were lucky to get a Butterbeer before they ran out! Second of all, the sorting ceremony was not put together well and offensive. The hostess took so long asking questions they barely got through any names. And it was EXTREMELY disappointing not to get sorted as a die hard fan and driving all this way. And the person who played "Angry Dumbledore " was EXTREMELY offensive with the amount of GAY jokes. There is a point of hilarity and making light fun or mention, but he took it way to far. Honestly, I was so disappointed and disgusted that I and my fiance left before the costume contest. We wont ever return, it left a bad taste is our mouths.

We were at the Orbit room for the same almost sold out show as seen in the previous review. Line was slow but they also had 3 lines open at every door. The problem wasnt with security, it was the crowd itself. All the people in front of me did not have their ID ready and some of them didnt have theirs with them at all causing them to argue with security slowing the line. The venue is a little on the rough side and could use some work but other than that a great place to see shows. Sound is good, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I felt very safe at this venue. Security did a great job throwing out the drunks and stupid people acting dumb. I will definately be back for more shows!

This venue is just terrible. There wasnt any AC in the room and no airflow. It was so hot, I had to leave.I dont even think the venue has AC at all. As a bonus they have a "No re-entry" policy. If you forget something, youre out your ticket price. The bars were gross to, one of them had tap beer spilling into the clean ice. The sound was muffled as well, I couldnt even understand the singer. The parking lot is a complete hazard, massive potholes everywhere. If your favorite band plays here, go see them in another city where you can enjoy them in a decent venue.

I was just at The Orbit Room last night for the Chiodos/Silverstein fall tour. It was a nice venue, not too big and not too small. The sound system was amazing! However, one thing that could be improved is their ventilation system-- everyone was smoking and the bands used smoke machines, and it was hazy and after a while, hard to breathe. Other than that, I had an amazing night. The bouncers were friendly enough, and the security guards saved my friend from getting thrown over the barricade. I think the four stars I gave it are well deserved.

Worst concert venue i have EVER been too! Left us out in the cold, snowing, for over an hour. Parking lot full of potholes. Would not let anyone go out to smoke accept when they designated times. Venue so packed could hardly move or get drinks. No lighting on the stairs to balcony n staff was very rude. Love the band playing but orbit room totally ruined the experience!

Saw Twenty One Pilots here a few years back. Only complaint was the venue got so sweltering hot. Literally like ninety degrees inside in the middle of freaking October. I was wearing leggings and a flannel and It got so hot I just straight up took off my shirt. My makeup was completely gone by the end of the show because I was so ridiculously sweaty.

This is actually one of my favourite concert venues in North America for Bands that are just about to get huge ... Ive seen The Used, My Chemical Romance, The Tragicaly Hip, and a few others here. Reasonable priced drinks and concert tickets ... great view of the stage from anywhere. Im planning to go back again in Nov 2008 to see Rise Against!

Very clean venue, at least from what I saw. The staff was excellent at getting people into the building and had fantastic security. The only complaint I would have is that the hallway from the lobby to the stage is very narrow and made exiting a bit tight. But that is a very minor detail compared to how great of a time I had at the Orbit Room.

Ive been to this venue numerous times and each time has never failed to amaze me. The bands that play here are usually great. The staff and security are very nice and the security is great at getting the crowd surfers! The parking lot is pretty good, too; I didnt feel unsafe or anything. I will definitely go again!

Im new to town and have heard people say great things about this venue so I was excited to go. This place is a dump! No A/C, disgusting bathrooms and warm beer. The sound was ok which is the best thing I can say. Disappointing!

A surprisingly great place to see a venue. Strip mall venues are always a crap shoot. And this one is even next to a strip club but its a really great place to see a show. Acoustics are great. Beer is really reasonably priced.

Absolutely terrible. Terrible crowd, terrible staff, venue looked like it hadnt been renovated in 10 years. Such a waste of my NYE. Came in and left 2 minutes later with my group of ten friends.

Honestly cant stand this place. Its rank and gross. There is only 1 bathroom and there was no hot water or paper towel to dry your hands. The theater is dirty and falling apart also.

Great melting pot. Fun place for people to enjoy the music and hang. Looking forward to the Mummies coming back. Best party band. Keep on making GR a better place.

Sticky floors. Bad ventilation. Smelled like stale beer and urine. The sound booth guys were vaping the whole show and gave me a headache. The sound was decent...

I went here last May for Bring Me The Horizon and it was a great show! It wasnt too crowded though the no water bottle thing kinda annoyed me, but I loved it

For the two icons we got to see play, whom no one will ever get to see play again in this lifetime, the negatives were completely ignored
