Had to check out The BOB because my name is boB, Backwards. Yep, awesome establishment! The different levels (4 of them) had a different vibe. Great idea. Go and check it out next time U are in GR.

Well, 1st and 2nd visits all in the same day. 1st was pre-GVSU graduation ceremonies and the 2nd visit was post-GVSU graduation ceremonies. both were great. No food purchased but the beer selection was awesome and a great atmosphere!

Always a good night at the BOB! Waitress wasn't paying attention very well though, even when I waved her down 4 times... Looked at our table and continued to the next. Then she asked us to tip her in cash, even though gratuity is included in the bill lol
