Came to see the 90s cover band while in town. This place is pretty cool. Many different floors with different themes and things to do. If you felt overwhelmed you could go to another floor to escape. Drinks are decently priced, $12 for a double. Only complaint is the parking being expensive but that's not on them.

Wow oh wow. I mean, haha, where do begin! I came here as a young boy, and this establishment took me in. They fed me, they gave me clothes, a place to sleep, and a family to cherish. I will never forget what this place has done to me, let alone what they have done for others. When I walk in here, I become someone. Outside, I am nothing. The big old building is certainly a place I will be going again. Thank you, thank you thank you. #love

I've only been to the BOB during Art Prize and I've only tried their pizza, so take this review with a grain of salt. Pizza was decent. Brew selection was pretty good except they were out of my top choice. Fun atmosphere, multiple levels. I'd go again.
