chris collinsNovember 28, 2014We ended a long night of drinking here so I don't remember much, but I do remember there being an excellent selection of beers and the staff being wonderful.Upvoted Sep 21
Jeremiah CosnerApril 1, 2016Three levels of entertainment. Brewery is always pretty busy. The nightclub has great views of the city and attracts a good scene at night.
Chris FDecember 14, 2018Sweet hot spot for dining, dancing, billiards and live music. Conveniently located across the street from the Courtyard Marriott
terrance adamsDecember 21, 2011the prime rib and king crab is great and reasonable prices. Check in with a party of four and receive half off all your food
DreFebruary 8, 2015Dueling piano bar is good for a fun time. For dancing, definitely go to the Eve on the 4th floor!
KaylaAugust 9, 2010If your new to the area, The Bob is one of the best places to go downtown. its 4 bars in 1! One of the places i always end up when out on the town :) two thumbs up
CAugust 10, 2014There's a full bar at this location, so if one bar station doesn't have the ingredients to make a drink, ask around. :)
Paul LambieSeptember 23, 2017Good service in a fairly run of the mill super pub. Tasty beer but the place is vast.
Gilly's is the best. Chris, Liz, and Courtney are amazing! I highly recommend the walleye.
Sara LynnJanuary 20, 2014Basement was redone, no longer any fun. No dance floor, no dj. Bar tender (singular!!) needs serious help, never seen someone so inexperienced on a saturday night. Try another floor!!
If your at the Bob, come into crush nightclub for a drink. They have the best bar staff in town!
Amanda InderbitzinJuly 30, 2012The Cobb salad is the best salad ever! This isn't your moms Cobb salad.......,this has a southwestern twist!
Thursday is Design One Ladies Night. No cover, salon services and $1.99 happy hour all night for ladies! Plus great theme parties and the best beats around.
Nathan GatesJuly 21, 2014When 20 people show up at once on the patio you should probably add a second server.
They list Foursquare specials, but their bartenders don't redeem them.
- Local GR EatsOctober 9, 2010Join the mug club for $2 bob beers for life. $25 buys you a mug club membership.
- Abdul AbdiJuly 3, 2012Very disappointed, Jason said no cover for 21+up on Sundays, but as soon as I got there they said It's $5wtf. Ryan the Body guard said it's $5 after 12. But Jason didn't say or included that smh
- If you like BOB beer and like to go out Thursday night: Join the mug club for great deals!
- $1.99 Happy Hour every day 2pm-6pm. It's the best deal in town!
BLT sliders are out of control! Pair them with a nice BOB amber and you're set!
- Michael ZureikatApril 15, 2012Have fun waiting for a waitress! All of that money into a beautiful place with terrible service.
Soon to go the way of Pondarosa, Friendly enough but servers poorly trained, you sit for about a half hour waiting for food and never see your server, food is over priced.
Angelique ChoateOctober 16, 2010Can't decide if who they are letting in girl at the front door is a psyco bitch!
MICHAEL LEVIOctober 16, 2011Asked for a shot and drink and was told no shots after 1 won't be coming here again. That and I could see security at the crush look for reason not to let me in

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. Its casual appeal, large size and historic charm have given The B.O.B. landmark / destination status in downtown Grand Rapids.

"Gardellas is definitely one of my favorite bars within Grand Rapids. There is never a cover charge, it has 3 levels to it, and each level has a different bar/vibe! It's like 3 bars in one! 😄"
