Good pizza and sangria! Really miss the goat cheese and root chips, though! Hope they come back soon!

The BOB is a very unique place with several different bars and restaurants and a comedy club. There are four different floors and it is a fun place to walk around. Certain nights they have live bands. The restaurants have changed somewhat since we have eaten there so I am not sure how the new menus are. The food we have had in the past was fine, and wasn't very expensive. During Art Prize they have quite a few exhibits on three of the floors.
