I love the BOB! My only complaint tonight was that I was there for 2 hours and never had a waitress check on us. We had to go to the bar for our own drinks every time.

Real great! The entertainment, PleasureTowne, was one of the best cover bands we’ve ever seen or heard! But... what keeps me from giving out a five star is that for whatever reason, me and a friend’s drinks were swept away from us even though we weren’t done with them. We really didn’t appreciate that...

We love the B.O.B. And would be so thrilled to win a free wedding reception at the EVE! We moved to Grand Rapids a few years ago and love this city. The B.O.B. Is such an iconic spot in Grand Rapids and it would be our dream to celebrate there!

Collin at the BOB (gillys) has actually delivered the best service I've ever received at an establishment. Thank you Collin!

My husband and I were in Grand Rapids for our anniversary! We went to BOB after the Griffins game, great service! Of course it was late but awesome! Peanut butter porter was the best I’ve had! Not too many varieties of craft beers but great! We ate at Gilleys smokehouse the next day! Great place!
