Pike Room

Location:
1 South Saginaw
Pontiac, MI

The Pike Room is part of the Crofoot Ballroom super funplex in Downtown Pontiac. Brilliantly entwined in a near city block of the city, the complex has everything you’d ever need for a great night out. Different areas of the ballroom warrant different types of concerts all within underground music of local Detroit as well as national acts. Every area of the venue has a great sound system and often, each one is working independently of one another creating a different atmosphere from room to room.

With shows constantly going on, there is never a dull moment for those in Eastern Michigan who can’t quite make it to Detroit every weekend. Emerging out of almost nowhere, in the past few years the Crofoot complex including the Pike Room and Eagle Theater have made quite an underground scene in the city of Pontiac. The Pike Room is where you will go for the more local shows, where as the Crofoot Ballroom is where you’ll catch the bigger acts that can still be considered underground.
