About this business
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 as Judson's grocery warehouse. It stood vacant for decades before The Gilmore Collection began its transformation, saving it from demolition. Its casual appeal, large size and historic charm have given The B.O.B. destination status in downtown Grand Rapids.

Just went for drinks & dancing / I wouldn't eat there because I think their food is not that great and it's overpriced.
Horrible racist staff. Unless you are white you should go somewhere else. The beer lines are filthy and make me sick every time. You wait a long time to sometimes not even get helped at the bar . The drinks are watered down and overpriced. There are several other nicer venues literally surrounding the buildings for the colored folks to to at least. All the entry staff bouncers can suck a dick .
We ate at Bobarino. Waiter was nice. We ordered sandwiches only. Restaurant wasn't busy at all. Mostly empty tables. Took over an hour into receive our order. The people who were seated after us were served both their appetizers and meals before us. Our sandwiches were subpar quality at best. Astronomical prices. We won't be returning to Bobarino's.
Went on Cinco de Mayo. Our favorite thing to do is to sit near the stair rail and people watch. Apparently, they have decided to remove the chairs from the rail area. Wasn't much going on when we were there and we moved some chairs by the rail after checking with a bartender. The manager asked us to put the chairs back when we leave. Huh!?
Walked in just after 9pm last night, and was asked for I.D. which didn't really bother our group of 10 guys in the bachelor party, but what irked us was the $5 cover for the "whole building." You wonder why you get crappy ratings, well that is the start of it. Also, your security guards could be a little more verbal. Thanks for making us go elsewhere and spend our money, I can tell you none of us will be back.
