Great spot with multiple bars! Many activities with good vibes. Friendly staff. The wait for a drink can be a little much, but the atmosphere is still worth it.

My fav bouncer Curtis Bart kills it at his job and always makes sure my girlfriends and I feel safe!
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. Ambitious, expansive, and versatile, The B.O.B. is a big old building of fun, offering a multitude of choices for each guest who walks through the door.
