Think BIG
I was at BOB this weekend and me and my wife were having a great time. Until we decided to go use the restroom and while we were walking there, this lady named Brea comes up and asked my wife to stand on one leg out of no where and suddenly asked us to leave. She seemed new cause I have never seen her. I understand your are trying to make a name for yourself at the organization but that doesn’t mean you should be disrespectful to your regular guests for NO REASON. We didn’t bother anyone we didn’t cause any chaos. We may have had a few drinks but does anyone come to Bob to meditate and do Yoga? All of the bouncers surrounded us like we were criminals, now I respect the teamwork and they trusting her judgement but at the same time, who is really validating these decisions? I paid $46 to get into eve and now my hard earned money is wasted just because this lady thought, ohh let me just be the boss. They provided us NO EXPLANATION!!! I escalated this to Samuel couple of times and he seemed to be cursing me behind everybody standing there. You should really treat your guests better who aren’t some teenage hooligans trying make a scene. We come from a very respectful culture and just wanted to have a good time. I really hope these team leads you appoint get some training or atleast have some sort of understanding of inappropriate behavior. I really liked to hangout at the BOB but I am not so sure anymore because the way your security team treated us, I honestly feel threatened that these so called bouncers who act like Mafia’s may pin me down cause I accidentally dropped a glass of water in the future. They need better training. I hope this gets to someone higher up so they really do something about it cause it is becoming a problem.P.s: Also tell Samuel that he doesn’t own the place, he is an employee who gets paid on our dime so at the least, be respectful and considerate.

We went to Dr Grins and then stayed to see our favorite band, Pleasure Towne. We are very disappointed in the over priced water downed drinks. I had 4 drinks and didn't taste or feel like anything other than juice. If we go back, we will not be buying alcohol!

Went this past Saturday and one of the security guards unbuttoned my front chest pockets of my jacket and reached his hand in both of them as part of their ‘search’ before entering. He laughed as I was visibly shocked that he did this. It was so uncomfortable and bizarre.

First went in and asked for the homemade beer cheese and pretzels they said downstairs bar (not the stuff I was looking for so think it's upstairs). The bread was super good but definitely something to share with several ppl. Drink was good can't remind what it's called something like drinkin money or something. Was good but not what i expected specially when I asked the bartender. Bartender was old and he didn't seem interested in waiting on us. Was more interested in his female friend at other end of bar. Bar is very convenient to the concert venues. Would try again but upstairs.

In the basement on Friday, Feb 23rd at 10:00PM to celebrate with my son and his girlfriend that recently relocated to Grand Rapids. We were having a great time the people around us were friendly, invited us to pong and Jenga, our wives were having a great time signing up for karaoke. Yes we were probably some of the (older) patrons in the basement, we're not prudes and enjoy a good laugh, were having such a good time until.... Our wives finally were called up to sing (after a long wait) and I just want to say for the time we were there the DJ ONLY did this to us. Instead of playing the lyrics to the song they picked the DJ replaced them with absolutely beyond filthy lyrics. Our wives were mortified and embarrassed, our night was ruined. After I gave the DJ a few choice words we left NEVER TO RETURN. No apology, nothing. I believe the DJ targeted us because of our age only to embarrass and humiliate our wives. Would love to know the name of the DJ so I can leave this comment on his site. Is this what THe BOB supports and allows?

A classic example of a smelly bar with pompous management, that tries too hard to be what it's not.I went here for my friend's 25th birthday. Was denied access because they insisted I was wearing sweatpants(I was not - they were fitted black track pants). Not my typical choice of fashion but I didn't have time to change after work and figured I still looked nice. Not that it matters, but they were probably more expensive than 90% of the pants in there anyway lol.I was an hour away from home with no car. This little detail could have completely ruined my night as well as my friend's birthday. I don't take many days off and he was very excited that I came out. I tried to explain my situation but received no mercy.I took the cold walk of shame back to my friend's truck where I thankfully found some spare pants. The lead bouncer comped my cover and allowed me to skip the line. Nice gesture, but the other two guys still gave me a hard time for no reason. I'm not from here. How am I supposed to know you have a silly dress code? This place is undeserving of such a trivial rule. From the looks of it, you should be able to go here wearing a banana costume. Once inside, I saw others that did not comply with the dress code. Not sure why I was singled out. Never in my life have I seen a place that has beer pong in the basement have a strict dress code.Not to mention, the basement bar SMELLED so bad that everyone had to evacuate!?Had a lot more fun last year, they at least had a good DJ then.Note to the owner: Regardless, most people aren't going to wear sweatpants when they go out. There's no need to enforce a dress code. Maybe you had a problem with that in the past because that's the vibe 'The B.O.B.' puts out.
We received the best club service I've had in a long time. Kendahl's service was quick attentive and personal. Definitely the best server I've had in ages. 10/10 recommend coming to the Bob. Immaculate service and great vibes.

my boyfriend came here in over $100 Lululemon ABC black pants and the bouncer told him if he came here again wearing them he wasn't allowed in because they resembled jeans too much. Sidenote, we weren't going to EVE. So if you are wearing jeans or Lululemon ABC pants as a guy dont go. Unless you're okay will young ass boys bullying you bc they hire bullies as bouncers trying to assert dominance, because I saw plenty of men in there with ACTAUL jeans (who weren't question at the door) throughout the night who weren't interrogated the same way!

Got charged an extra $5 at the door for the Eve club that wasn't even opened and got worked for a tip to be let in by the door staff. How lame ! Never coming back. Plenty of other bars in town.
