The B.O.B. (Big Old Building) in Grand Rapids
The B.O.B. (Big Old Building)
616.356.2000
Four floors of food, drinks, and good times packed into one massive historic warehouse in downtown GR. The B.O.B. is home to restaurants, a brewery, Dr. Grins Comedy Club, and a nightclub, making it the go-to spot for dinner dates, group hangs, and nights that accidentally turn into mornings.
Built in 1903 as a grocery warehouse, the building sat empty for decades before The Gilmore Collection saved it from the wrecking ball and turned it into the nightlife hub it is today.
Inside, you’ll find a little bit of everything:
-
Bobarino’s for wood-fired pizza, craft beer, and Sky Deck hangs
-
Dr. Grins Comedy Club for big laughs and touring comics
-
The Beer Garden for dog-friendly chill time, live music, and drinks served from a shipping container-turned-bar
-
Ashton Lounge for moody, upscale cocktails in a sleek setting
-
eve for dancing into the early hours (cover charge applies)
Open Thursday through Saturday, 4 PM to 1 AM.
Closed Sunday through Wednesday.
