The BOB

This place is terrible! I went around 1:00 am and it was so crowded you literally could not move!  We were told at the door that there was a 5 dollar cover... And they only take cash, we didn't have cash, so we were directed to an ATM on the 2nd floor. Our Ids were held at this point and we were told if we did not return in a timely fashion they would not be returned (pretty sure THAT'S illegal but...) Upon entering the building, all of the stairs were closed, so EVERYONE in the club was required to use one 18 person elevator.  The club was not managing the elevator and at least 3 times the weight limit worth of people were packing in every time the doors opened.  When we decided to leave, the bouncers only let you out one door.  It took us 30 minutes just to get outside!  In addition to a very rude staff of bouncers, This place is a fire and safety hazard and should absolutely be shut down!

We came from Chicago to visit family. They took us to "the Bob". The guys at the door were rude, unprofessional, the Mgmt didn't know how to handle "the problem" that was created by his staff. Very, very dissapointed! Never going back again. GR night scene sucks!

The BOB - 'Big Old Building' - Went here for a wedding reception.. really fun times for the most part. It's in an area with alot of college people, or so I'm told.. and that definitely added to the madness of the place. It was a very fun time though. With something like 4 or 5 levels.. we were on the top level that has been designed to accommodate parties such as wedding parties. Nice open space, room for a bar and a dance floor.

I ventured down to the lower floors to check out the bar scene and the live music playing. There were alot of people dining and even a comedy club going on one of the upper floors. Everyone in the place seemed to be having a great time and that added to a really fun atmosphere.

If and when I am back in Grand rapids, I will stop by the BOB.
