First visit to The BOB while in town for a tournament this past weekend. Just stopped in for some nightlife. The live music and service was good. Had a great time ... will be sure to stop again next time I'm in town.

The manager, Nick, is awesome 👍🏼 We only had a few drinks but would love to come back. The band was really good.

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!

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!
