Diesel Concert Lounge — Local services in Chesterfield Township

Unique venue. Hard to find. In desperate need of an update and a change in employees.

First, to find this place, you have to enter the bowling alley, forge ahead until you hit the lanes, make a left, and again, forge ahead and make a left into the arcade. At the rear of the arcade, there will be a large, impeding, angry bouncer who will make no attempt to be nice or professional, a real Richard.

Second, once you get into the venue, you will be accosted with 80's & Christmas decor. WTH?! We were there for a Halloween show, and there are snowflakes hanging everywhere from the ceiling. I didn't mind the 80's decor, but I did sort of mind that is was original from the 80's.

Reasonably priced drinks (ONLY DOMESTIC, hope you like Budweiser), but the bartenders definitely play favorites to the obvious locals who don't have to deal with Richard the bouncer either.

Bathrooms were bright, and mostly clean. But the women's restroom only had 3 toilets, and one blocked off as out of order.

Unless there's a must see band playing ONLY here, I doubt...

This place was like a one stop shop for entertainment. They had bowling, arcade with lots of pinball machines and a restaurant. I only was in the concert venue which is seperated from the rest via a entrance inside. The venue has two stages with alternating acts playing so you can go from one stage to the other and also had live music.

The main stage has a slanted floor down to the stage so people in the back were elevated. The second stage was flat with a dance floor and had some seating with a smoking area outside. There is a bar in the back of both stages.

Overall cool concept, sounded like a rock concert so speakers were good and the amenities available were numerous although I did not...

I absolutely love GOING to Diesel for shows, and love PLAYING here. Staff is amazing! Every single member of the staff was professional but not uptight like alot of places are, and the sound is always fantastic. Diesel has a special place in our hearts. If your music scene is like a big family, you're extremely lucky... South East Michigan is blessed with some great bands, and awesome venues like Diesel. Marie, Mike, and Rikki hold it down. Sound guys have been amazing, and the guy at the door (sorry I forgot your name sir) are on top of everything. The waitress is also a doll
