Called The BOB to reserve a private room for a group of educators (15 from Michigan; Seattle, WA; and Connecticut) attending the White Privilege conference being held in Grand Rapids April 4-7, TJ and Jewels where able to help me reserve a space (Monroe room). When I called to confirm the day before, I learned there was a double booked situation and we wouldn't be able to use the space. So the staff and management at Boberino's helped us out by putting a table together for the 15 of us to gather, share, and enjoy dinner. Mike and Kelsey (sp ?) were assigned as the wait staff for our group and did an OUTSTANDING job taking care of everyone! Trust me, that wasn't easy as we all needed individual bills - food on one receipt and drinks on another. Our guest were appreciative and the food, drinks, and service...amazing. Even accommodated our request to turn the music down so we could converse and actually hear each other! Thank you for helping me pull this event together. Would highly recommend to anyone! I hope you will consider counting this review 14 times over (for the other guest that were in attendance). Thank you!
Came here on Sunday during Artprize. It is indeed a big old building, it's huge inside! I think it's really cool that this place is basically three stories of bars, but not trashy-looking ones either. And it was neat to see the art on display, my favorite was the 3-D illusion one and also the painting of the statue in Daniel's prophecy.
Beer was delicious. Had the hopsun and st. John. My husband and I aren't ipa ppl but it was a great recommendation by Abby. Abby was our server upstairs and answered all our questions. She was so attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't have food. Kid friendly. Fun atmosphere. Has wheelchair/stroller accessibility.
We attended the Haunted Hogwarts party at the BOB and had a blast!!! The staff were amazing and so helpful. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and the BOB crushed the decorations this year! The dragon was so cool!! Can’t wait for next year!!!!! 🎉🎉👻👻
Big trav knows what’s up!!! 10/10 not only are the drinks good but mf is cute!!! Get the pomegranate mule!!!! Slay!!!!

We are so happy that the BOB is back open. We were heading to see a show upstairs at Dr. Grins.
When going online, to Open Table , it looked as though every table was booked at the two restaurants that are serving right now. However, upon getting a hold of somebody at the service desk, I was told that the Open Table app does not apply. The downside is I think a lot of people aren't utilizing the fabulous restaurants that are back open to eat there because they assume that all the tables are booked. Lucky for us, we called ahead and discovered this wasn't true. I highly suggest that this is updated in their system , as to not lose future customers. We miss the hay days of the Bob when it was packed with all ages and served magnificent food and was hopping on every floor. It was our go-to when we had people visiting from out of town. There was something there for everybody. We ended up having a terrific meal at Bob's Brewery. Our appetizer was cheese roulette, the secret being two or three jalapeno cheese stuffed bites! These were fried to perfection. They did not disappoint. We also asked for the barbecued mac and cheese which we had served deconstructed. The noodles were cooked perfect and the meat was so tender. The barbecue sauce was amazing and we probably should have had it served the way they normally do.
We'd like to say thank you to our bartender,Rip!
He seems to have been a stable in the building off and on throughout the years. We reminisced about the different food and restaurants that have been there, and he is crossing his fingers along with us, to see the BOB come back to its previous glory.
Easily the best spot to grab a drink at The Bob.
I've yet to try the food. Once I do, I'll drop another review.
Bartenders are very good, especially the veteran RIP. Highly recommend the bar seating.
The Bob is always a great time! Awesome atmosphere and caring staff. We loved the Halloween party and everything it had to offer from live music, dancing, and good drinks! Definitely will be going again next year:)
Had a great experience at the Bob! GG was an amazing waitress! She was incredibly accommodating and made sure that our table had everything that we needed!
I love this place! Live bands! Different bars for different people! Women typically don't have a cover charge. It's very hard to get a drink at the Eve but I drink downstairs because it's pointless to bring your drink on the dance floor. The bathroom is usually clean. The bartenders are nice but direct because its busy. I love the diversity this place brings. I've never had the food. But the wine is great!
The crew is amazing!!! Justine who works the elevator is a G!!! She consistently has good energy; I don’t know if it’s her vibrant hair or her smile but she definitely knows how to make you feel welcomed. Also one of the managers, Shelby, is GOATED, no matter rain or shine she always has a smile on her face; which makes her super pursuable, while taking care of business like a boss.
