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.

Nothing but good things to say about this place! Top notch everything and their hospitality towards myself and my band Feelgood was nothing nothing short of stellar. I highly recommend this place to anyone, they have everything. We can't wait to come back and thank you again!

Awesome place, right next to 20 Monroe live. Have a 20 minute wait for Gilleys? Trot up one level and go to Bobarino's for instant seating. Staff was great at both locations. There is an upscale steakhouse called Judson's if your wallet can stand the prices.
