I’ve been going to Grasshopper since I first got into house music back around 2013. Love this place. Even though I’m 28 and don’t get to go as often Grasshopper Underground will always have a special place in my heart. This place brings back so many happy memories. I love the intimate basement feel. Awesome upbeat music. Was so happy to get to come back last Friday shortly after they opened back up and I missed it! I live further away now but worth every penny of the expensive Uber to get there. I’ll be back!

Hands down the best sound system around! Always bangin techno or house music and lots of people dancing. Good vibes all around & will always come through when I’m in town!

Great place and better than expected ambience. I am waiting to see the rooftop deck as soon as it’s finished.

Used to live coming here back in the day. Current ownership is running this place into the ground. They basically have tried to turn this place into a Miami nightclub. Wish Troy never sold this place.

Just put a void system in here not too long ago and it is one of the best sounding places in Detroit. Definitely recommend going there, but bring some ear protection as it gets loud.

I started coming here back in 2012 because it was a fun spot that featured many talented House music artists from all around the world. This used to be one of my favorite weekend spots because the crowd and parties used to be so intimate. Not to mention I met so many of my favorite artists because of this place.Unfortunately, this has completely changed ever since new ownership took over. They don’t bring in any decent house music artists any more. The crowd isn’t the same anymore, most of the regulars I knew are gone. Owner is also extremely rude to the patrons. In fact he has completely disrespected the house music scene and has done a disservice for this community by not sticking with Grasshopper’s original stigma.RIP to the Grasshopper I once knew. It’s sad to see this once great venue get run into the ground.

Intimate crowd, always good energy. The staff are fair and understanding. Love that they are able to bring big names in the club despite its size. Great learning experience for artists to connect and hear new unreleased tracks !

Horrible Customer SerivceBought a ticket for will call. Arrived to club with them charging more than double (but w/e I have a ticket already). Wait in line for half an hour with people who do not have tickets yet. Bouncer #1 says to go in. Bouncer #2 turns around and asks me to step away (then heads inside). Thats the reason I was denied entry. Bouncer #1 denied me because bouncer #2 said so. I was allowed not talk to bouncer #2 or management. Not sure if racial profiling or I looked like someone else. A bit humiliating and pathetic for a dude who was outside for a few seconds to power trip on a random dude. Not fun to explain to friends who were already inside.Update:Attempting to reach Grasshopper...- They do not respond to Facebook messages- Their Contact Us on website does not work- They do not answer phonePros:Grasshopper books many good actsCons:Crowded (you better hope it isnt hot and humid out)ExpensivePrice at door sky rockets

This is one of the best clubs in Metro Detroit. Perhaps, they are the only one who bring well known artists from across the world to play really awesome music. I was really happy to see Nora En Pure, Atliens, and Eli & Fur at this venue.The club is truly underground, intimate, and has the world class Void sound system. The sound engineers have done their job really well because you can hear almost every beat if you stand right in front of the stage. Whats more interesting is the fact that you stand very close to the artist, so you can literally see how theyre playing their music. Otherwise, at big venues or music fests the artists are very far from you, and sometimes you cannot even see them.I forgot to mention, their bartenders are really cool. Drinks are a bit pricey. But overall, this place rocks!!! :)

Love this place! Security and bartenders are cool,and the drinks are awesome. The Producer Battle was great,and fun. I eish we had more rap battles gere though. We need one at least once per season

Oh where do I even begin. The hopper is a Detroit staple great music intimate setting. Wanna feel like your partying with your crew in your basement like you’re back in college? This is the spot. Good prices good drinks and Troy makes sure they bring the fire on the decks. I’ve seen some great artists here and made some great memories. Grasshopper will continue to be one of my favorite clubs in the area. If you like electronic music this is a spot you can’t miss.

Best sound system in the Midwest. Amazing bartenders. Amazing large club vibe in a smaller venue. Really great for finally getting up close to artists you love to see and who are so far away from you when they are playing those large festivals or arena shows. Top notch entertainment

Great venue, loved the tv at bar projecting the dj booth downstairs.

Mandatory coat check for a trim cut leather jacket? Waste of money, and quite frankly it’s sad you’re making money off this

Who is in my baby girl at the grasshoppers done nothing but take great care of me every single time I come here I expect nothing but the best thank you so much from the bottom of my heart .... Ashley is the best️️️

Cool nightclub that features both local and international DJs. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Good drink specials. Will definitely return.

Pretty sure the alcohol is watered down. Even for premium. Good artist selection.

Best banging spots around!

One of my regular haunts. This place stands apart from the rest most notably for its outstanding sound system. If youre an audiophile this is probably the only place in Metro Detroit worthy of mention.Also due to the types of acts that come through there is rarely any type of disagreement between customers. Never had an issue with staff, theyre all great people.Simply put as long as youre a good person and act like an adult there isnt really any way to not enjoy the Grasshopper.

If you get drinks, youre betting on the mixed drinks, stick with the beer, or straight shots. Paid $32, for two double whiskeys sours and got two cups full of sour mix. A decent venue for Mark Farina also. Bonus is you can leave and come back (reentry)

Wasnt a terrible experience. They kept peaking the subs and tweets when watching. The gear is nice just needed better adjustments. The shows were cool. Liquor wasnt too overpriced.

I have been looking for a place like this for a while. I can certainly say that the grasshopper underground is your to-go bar that offers a variety of drinks but also offers the best house in music in the Detroit metro. I definitely recommend to give it a try or multiple, you will not be disappointed!

So the other night I was out with my friends, we went to karaoke, then orchid, and then made our way to Grasshopper. And I have to say grasshopper was the most disappointing experience Ive had in a long time. Lets start with the $20 cover, Id have been good with $5-$10 but $20 is outrageous. However, I was like okay whatever hopefully its worth it. Get downstairs, and its just a dirty basement with music so loud you can hear your heart developing hypertension. At least you could kinda shout at orchid if you wanted to communicate with someone. I would have given it 3-4 stars because I usually like basement bars ex. Deluxx Fluxx in Detroit, but $20 for a basement cesspool establishment, save your money and go anywhere else.

To myself one of the best clubs in Michigan.

Drinks are over priced and watered down. Stick to beer if you go here. Great venue for Mark Farina though.

I gotta say , as someone who loves edm this is one of the worst places to experience the genre. They are under the impression (like most subpar edm clubs in the metro area ) that louder is better or somehow improves the quality of the music that is being played. That , on top of the $20 cover (really ?) and overpriced subpar drinks this place is not suited for people who enjoy the genre but for the kids who like to pay high prices for something they can get downtown for free (or at least less than $20)

Great.commercial underground experience!Vibe is open. Music is intense. Unique people everywhere ( ea) 369

Updated 7/8/2019Grasshopper is very unreliable. While some shows here have been enjoyable, multiple shows of musicians I really like have been ruined for me and my friends at this venue. One show I went to two of my friends left early it was so bad, and for one of them is was one of their favorite artists. The one thing this venue has going for it is that it books some really good artists. Unfortunately often even good artists cant overcome the rest of the issues. Heres a list of the issues, with the first ones being the things that are the worst:1) Audio quality is often very poor and okay at best. The only thing that sounds okay is the bass. The volume is usually turned up too loud causing distortion. Vocals sound like theyre playing in another building through a foot of concrete. Anything thats not bass has massive ringing as if its being played from the inside of a giant metal bell and the sound is extremely distorted. Sadly the music sounds best right at the top the stairs at the door of the venue.2) The venue is often too packed for its size and layout. You typically are standing shoulder to shoulder with people once the main act comes on. However on top of this 80% of the venue is a walking lane to/from the bars or bathroom, so you often have people bumping or pushing by you and you have to stop dancing and move out of the way constantly to let people by.3) The venue is located in downtown Ferndale, next to Royal Oak, which has a really young population similar to a college town. There are fun people, but also because of the location this place is frequented by bar hoppers and some frat like guys doing pullups on the I-beams as well. This leads to some people who are more interested with hooking up than the music, and Ive experienced multiple times where groups of guys and the girls arrive and feel entitled to push their way in front of you to take the spot you were in. It gets much better around 1:30 am when many of the people who arent there for the music have left.

This place seems to get worse rather than better to me! I visited recently for the first time in a few years and was appalled to see the multiple roped off V.I.P. sections! Is that really necessary for a dark basement club? The whiskey drinks we ordered were terrible. Tatsted as if the real thing was poured out and replaced with bottom shelf cheap stuff! The only bright spot for this one hour visit was the new location for the dj booth. Great idea to have it on the opposite side of the room.

How can you not love this club? The staff are really cool people. The bartenders make fabulous drinks and they are always super stoked to be there no matter what night. I will say I miss the early 80s/goth industrial nights(not because I was lucky to spin some of them) But I always like to the club and the sound system was amazing and it still is amazing

This is one of my favorite places. Great staff, amazing performers on the regular, with the best sound system (Void!) in the state!

This place is a blast. Drinks were perfect. Music was perfect. Atmosphere was perfect. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a trend hot spot.

Its a cool, small basement bar/club with a small upstairs lounge and bar. they bring some great DJs. service is good, and its very clean for a club. it did get full, but i was still able to navigate the crowd.

Best door guy ever! Give him all of the raises!

Small venue, great atmosphere. Friendly staff, although I think the acoustics could be improved downstairs.

Great atmosphere. Smaller but more intimate. Always a good time. Staff is all really cool. Especially the bathroom attendants and Coat check

Love the sound system and house music.

Went to hear our daughter play. We were pleasantly surprised.

Horrible horrible service. A tital rip off. Rude loud and unsafe environment. Never seen anything this bad in Detroit metro area. Small crowded space with no clear exists and a lot of drunk angry people. Staff are extremely rude beyond belief. A fire would kill everyone there. Save your money time and well being.

Uhhh so is it 18 or 21?

If you like Detroit house or techno The hopper is a must. Resident DJ, Golf Clap is solid. Drinks are cheap and staff is friendly. Maybe not a first date kind of place but a great time if you enjoy the scene.

Great place for techno, dubstep, and trance-loving people. A bit too crowded for my taste, but its nice and small, and there is some seating upstairs if the crowds arent your style.

Great place if you like house music. They do not serve food. So i took a star. The drinks werent that good. I went on a Friday it wasnt a huge crowd. But a decent size. There is a bar upstairs for lounging and the lower level for dancing.

Very fun for a drink and karaoke on a Wednesday night! I had a great time!

Fun place. Music very spotty. Great if you like any house music

Great karaoke hosted by neon nights on Wednesday’s. Definitely the spot to go!

A little too dark and too loud for my liking. Ears started hurting quite fast

One of the best spots in Detroit for good drinks and dancing!

Great techno bar in Ferndale. The owner Troy is a great guy

Great place to get your techno on!

Cool venue, some of the bartenders really suck though. Literally paid 8 bucks for a gingerale with a quarter shot of crown in it. Some mixed drink. Some short little bartender there is really rude and a big douchebag, he probably got picked on in high school or something so hes pissed off at the world. Just get a beer at this place.

A community place. Everyone seems to know each other. Small place not too crowded either. Would not recommend if u dont know people there.

Nice music to dance to. Since its dark, you dont look foolish while dancing, lol!

Always a great experience. I have seen some of my favorite artists perform here Amazing staff and even better music!

Not a worth going place! Super expensive for cover charge and bad service!

You wont find better house music anywhere in Michigan, this place brings in huge artists, and an amazing crowd

This is a weird place. Stop in for some fun people watching early in the night or at the very end

Always a great time, Grasshopper attracts a vibrant crowd by bringing in world class DJs. The friendly staff help to facilitate a great dance party every night. Come prepared to move because you wont want to sit down all night. Their sound system is incredible! Local tip: parking can be a challenge, especially during peak weekend hours so its best to Uber if you can. Also there are a ton of excellent restaurants within 2 blocks in case you need to fuel up first. I would recommend Public House, Pops Italian, Greenspace Cafe (veg) or Local Kitchen and Bar.

Staff, DJs, atmosphere, all incredibly amazing! A definite must for anyone looking for fun any night of the week.

This place is a hit or miss for a lot of people. The music is loud, but the vibe is great, and the drinks are cheap

Came to see Darude last night, drinks were expectedly pricey, but overall the place was impressive for how small it is. Great crowd as well.

Came here to see Mija throw down some deep haus, love this place. Drinks not top expensive, awesome atmosphere. Definitely a club Ill be coming back to.

Great place to get drinks and hear good music

Good music!!

My favorite spot for over a decade. Its now that local spot that consistently hosts the biggest names in the electronic music industry, for cheap!

The music is the best. if you are tech house or a deep house junkie this is the place to be!! Hard to find places these days that plays those 2 genres.

Great place for a fun night of dancing while listening to good djs.

DO NOT ORDER SHOTS HERE. $7.00 for a run of the mill shot? Outrageous. Their beer prices are much more reasonable.

Very cool

Like a party in your friends basement but with better sound.

Great sound, intimate venue. Owner is awesome

Small but great place to listen to music, very intimate with good drink prices

Such great sound system perfect place to be for a audiophile.

Had purchased 3 tickets to an 18+ event, but lost my drivers license before the event. Even though im 28 and im with a group of 3 other 30ish ppl w drivers licenses, and brought a handful of id picture documents, I get denied entry with the reason being none of the document have an address on them which doesnt make any sense. The whole experience was odd because he cost their management $100 in entry purchases, not to mention the drinks my friends would have bought. I have had other experiences there with poor staff, which is a shame because the evironment and music are usually pretty good.

Super fun atmosphere, great crowd, awesome entertainment! Love this place!

Best club for house and deep house music in Detroit

I always have a great time.

Im not a regular clubber, but if youre reading this, heres what you need to know:First, Parking: Theres plenty of it for a Saturday night, but only after 10pm its free until 7am in Ferndale. Dont show up after midnight witing for someone to pull out. Dont be surprised to find a few having fun in the backseat. Temporary walks to your car is fine, flash your wrist or X.Second, Saturday cover is $10, bring $20 more for drinks, coat check ($3...I know that guy somewhere), and tips. NO ATM inside, but you Can start tab if you know people or are a regular. Bar prices are surprisingly fair; better than Necto in Ypsi. Same dress code. Staff is diligent to serve you, if you dont know what its called, I recommend asking for a surprise.Third, the GU is COMPACT. Stands 200 easy, but couples start rolling in just after 11. Then it gets cramped, if youre into that kind of thing. This place is for FUN, get a drink or two down and let loose. Just like most clubs around here, many are here with friends, so dont try anything stupid, po pos are around the corner--aaannd just watched a couple get kicked out. Nothing unusual.Bathrooms are just as tiny, the line started about 1:30, time for a quick walk out.

The worst DJ imagineable. The service is awful.

Best house and sound system outside. I wish it was as large as TV.

Music was too loud. 25 each person to get in but it’s not pleasant.

Great place to have fun .

Misbehaving staff, saw a large white staff behaving inappropriately, bad attitudes. Nice spot.

Awesome little hide away venue!

Place is fun at!

Great djs

Dancing all night in the basement reminds me of my teenage years...

Small intimate venue, with great staff.
