The B.O.B.

The B.O.B. (an acronym for Big Old Building) is located in downtown Grand Rapids. The 70,000-square-foot, four- story, red brick building was constructed in 1903. Its casual appeal, large size and historic charm have given The B.O.B. landmark / destination status in downtown Grand Rapids.

We ended a long night of drinking here so I don't remember much, but I do remember there being an excellent selection of beers and the staff being wonderful.

Jeremiah Cosner

Three levels of entertainment. Brewery is always pretty busy. The nightclub has great views of the city and attracts a good scene at night.

Chris F

Sweet hot spot for dining, dancing , billiards and live music . Conveniently located across the street from the Courtyard Marriott

terrance adams

the prime rib and king crab is great and reasonable prices. Check in with a party of four and receive half off all your food

Dre

Dueling piano bar is good for a fun time. For dancing , definitely go to the Eve on the 4th floor!

Kayla

If your new to the area, The Bob is one of the best places to go downtown. its 4 bars in 1! One of the places i always end up when out on the town :) two thumbs up

C

There's a full bar at this location, so if one bar station doesn't have the ingredients to make a drink, ask around. :)

Paul Lambie

Good service in a fairly run of the mill super pub . Tasty beer but the place is vast.

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

A must so you can meet the locals, 4 bars in 1 building

Jason Smits

Gilly's is the best. Chris, Liz, and Courtney are amazing! I highly recommend the walleye .

Sara Lynn

Basement was redone, no longer any fun. No dance floor , no dj . Bar tender (singular!!) needs serious help, never seen someone so inexperienced on a saturday night. Try another floor!!

David Fischer

If your at the Bob, come into crush nightclub for a drink. They have the best bar staff in town !

Amanda Inderbitzin

The Cobb salad is the best salad ever! This isn't your moms Cobb salad .......,this has a southwestern twist!

Mike Bowler Sr

Olive Burger with the homemade chips at lunch is a great choice.

Jessica Albert

Thursday is Design One Ladies Night. No cover, salon services and $1.99 happy hour all night for ladies! Plus great theme parties and the best beats around.

Vickie Hickman

Great for a weekend in grand Rapids. Lots to do.

Nathan Gates

When 20 people show up at once on the patio you should probably add a second server.

Bryan Esler

Check out the revamped brewery in the basement ! Great beer !!!

Carlton Belden

The host was. Great!

Pete Stines

Go here often... Look out for 50 Cent, he hangs there often.

Brennan Prill Official

Great place to hang with friends and your family :)

50 cent beers on Wednesday 5-8. Amaze balls.

Go with a hottie. It's more fun that way!

They list Foursquare specials, but their bartenders don't redeem them.

CavaFatima Satchell

Oh my Stella, your lobster roll is wicked!!

Phil Deyoung

Great piano bar upstairs

Andrew White

Great private party area

Destiny Holt

Great food, but our waitress was kinda mean.....

Local GR Eats

Join the mug club for $2 bob beers for life. $25 buys you a mug club membership.

Amee Nemeth-James

Jill on the second floor is the best bartender !

Michael Zureikat

New tip, bring your own body guard . Maybe two of them.

Jordan

If you like BOB beer and like to go out Thursday night: Join the mug club for great deals!

Abdul Abdi

Very disappointed, Jason said no cover for 21+up on Sundays, but as soon as I got there they said It's $5wtf. Ryan the Body guard said it's $5 after 12. But Jason didn't say or included that smh

Jessica Albert

$1.99 Happy Hour every day 2pm-6pm. It's the best deal in town !

Darron C

No food served after 9 on Sundays. Even on St Patricks day

Will Swets

BLT sliders are out of control! Pair them with a nice BOB amber and you're set!

Linda Senior

Cream of mushroom soup os the best I've ever had...

Greg Creason

Cool 4 story restaurant/bar in Grand Rapids. Good beer brewed on-site.

Neal Green

It's a vertical bar crawl, every level has something to offer!

Thor Taylor

That's what Im talking about. My boy J dubb tearing it up. Lol.

Michael Zureikat

Have fun waiting for a waitress ! All of that money into a beautiful place with terrible service.

Stephen Richardson

Soon to go the way of Pondarosa, Friendly enough but servers poorly trained , you sit for about a half hour waiting for food and never see your server, food is over priced.

Kristin Weis

Bobarinos <3

Josh McVay

Stop by Crush for great drinks and great music .

Angelique Choate

Can't decide if who they are letting in girl at the front door is a psyco bitch!

MICHAEL LEVI

Asked for a shot and drink and was told no shots after 1 won't be coming here again. That and I could see security at the crush look for reason not to let me in
