Update 07022025 approximately 230 to 430pm. Dog friendly bar need I say more? Yes. What is so important? The fact that no one said a word when Bailey joined me on cushioned bench in the primo booth. And we both appreciated the ample window picturing Amsterdam avenue business, like tv to her, she told me.
Bartender did his job cool and proper by leaving us alone to nurse my beer and our water. We will be back.

I love this place!!!! I live across the street and have visited on and off since moving to NY. Then I saw a sign saying they were having a trivia night!!! I was soooo excited! I used to do trivia nights in college with my friends (team name the Brainiacs), and I missed that! I started going to Josef’s trivia nights and had so much fun! I loved the atmosphere, and the bartenders, Alex and Chelsea, made me feel safe and at home! Even when men come up to you and ask if “you come here often,” when you’re just focused on trivia questions. I am here for the fun of trivia nights and the safety of being close to home! Treated like family is a very accurate calling card for this place! 10/10 Recommend!

Bob’s is hands down my favorite local bar—it never disappoints! The staff is amazing, and they have board games and shuffleboard to keep things fun, not to mention an excellent selection of beers. I make it a point to drop by every week to try the newest brews on tap. Once, I brought my sister along, and she absolutely loved the Snow White cocktail. We happened to be there during a happy hour on a Tuesday some time ago, and the bartender went the extra mile by creating a custom cocktail just for her. Another fantastic feature is that you're welcome to bring your own food or even order in. Bob’s is always my go-to spot for a beer. I even celebrated New Year's there, and the atmosphere was amazing! My boyfriend also noted that they once showed Akira on the projector. How awesome is that?

Loved the vibe of this place. The warm atmosphere and cozy setting made it feel like home, especially by my second visit. The ‘bring your own food’ policy was a surprise, but it added to the experience, making for a fun and laid-back time. No frills, just pure enjoyment of what really matters.

Bob's is a bit of a legend in my friend group. It's a proper neighborhood bar. Good tap selection, standard liquor options, dim lighting, cozy seating, sports on the projector... It fits the bill of the "third place" that is often hard to find elsewhere in the neighborhood. Bob's is just far enough away from Columbia that it doesn't get slammed with undergrad students. Patrons tend to be locals and older Columbia graduate students or veterans. A comfortable spot that I frequented while in school and now a place I get to visit when I'm back in town.
Neighborhood spot with nitro left hand milk stout on tap. One of my absolute favorite beers that has been harder to find the last few years. Projector for sports ball and shuffleboard are also a huge plus.

My favorite bar near home! The staff is great, they have board games and shuffleboard, and their beers are top notch! I love going there at least once a week to see the different beers on tap. I brought my sister once here and she loved the Snow White cocktail. We came in during happy hour on Tuesday a while ago and the bartender was super sweet! Made her a cool custom cocktail that she enjoyed. It’s also bring your own food, which is great! Can bring it in or have it delivered. Bob’s will always be my comfort spot for a beer. Also spent new years there, great vibe! My boyfriend also did mention that they once played Akira on the projector. Incredible!

The bartender is rude and the margarita mix is gross
