Before there was ever a Uccello's or Buffalo Wild Wings, there was Bob's Sports Bar on Michigan NE. This is the OG of sports bars. I highly recommend this small joint for its authentic, down-to-earth feel & great food. The food is on point, be it the Bob's Famous Breakfast Sandwich, The Whiskey Burger, the Chicago Hot Dog or the best pickle pizza in GR. Bob's provides a living room type atmosphere to watching any game for the avid sports fan.

There was a game going on when I stopped by Bob’s, and it was quite busy. I was able to get a seat at the bar thanks to a friendly patron, and the bar was quite nice. The beer selection was decent and prices were cheap, and there was a festive atmosphere in the place. The bartender was quite to-the-point, but they were quick in the busy crowd. This is a good, comfortable place to enjoy a drink in a casual environment. I’ll definitely be back.

1/3 lb. Whiskey Burger was great. $2.00 Up charge on the onion rings wasn’t bad. Cold beer with PBR on draft. Exactly the kind of spot that I look for. Gail, the bar tender, was spot on and friendly. Will return the next time I’m up this way.

Bob's is a cozy, friendly neighborhood bar. If you go to play trivia, get there early! It's small and trivia is popular.
The woman at the bar was pleasant and efficient, and the food was good.

My first time there I had a hamburger with fries and it was great. The service was good. Very reasonably priced.
Second time there, service was mediocre … at best…waitress didn’t check on me until I was finished, spent lots of time talking with the other waitress. I’m not a drinker, was just there for lunch, had a hamburger basket which was good. Not sure if she was taking good care of the other customers but heard her say “sorry about that “, which is a big turn off for me as it sounds so condescending…so can’t really say if they were receiving the same kind of service. Other places close by where I can get lunch so probably won’t be back.
