Eve Nightclub — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

The improvements they have made are great to see. The lighting is now very good. The sound system has been improved. The bartenders and security always do a great job. The biggest downside to this place is the DJ’s that play here and a lot of the clientele they draw in. DJ Ryan is the only DJ that does a ok job. But most of the issue is the owners have ridiculous restrictions to the music they play. If they would lift the restrictions then Entertainment please stop bringing in poor talent. Utilize Ryan and find another DJ that is decent so Eve can be great every weekend not just on rare occasions. Keller, Van Hekken ,Mark and the rest of the current DJ’s are consistently playing crap that was never good to begin with. I’m here listening to night train in the only real night club in GR. Owners please listen to your good talent let them play recent popular music. This is crazy to pay to listen to this.

You’re the only real nightclub in GR bring talent in that shows this. Management please look into the talent. Owners when you get good talent let your talent play recent popular music. It’s crazy the restrictions you are putting on your talent. The hotel next door frequently has a DJ in their lobby/bar area with a better playlist than your nightclub. I have heard your talent at other establishments and they play much better music. I feel bad that you continue to restrict them this way.

Please stop letting in super drunk patrons. It is absolutely ridiculous how drunk some of the people are that are walking/stumbling in here. From what I have seen it’s mostly collage age females. Along with this what real Nightclub allows tennis shoes, Jeans, hoodies, baseball caps, you will even see sweatpants. The dress code is like they are desperate for patrons. Pay $$$ for bottle service and most of clientele are dressed like they are headed to the dollar store and the DJ is play crap I hear at the griffin’s game.

This last weekend was another example of all of the above. Opening windows, sweatpants, Dj playing old crap.

It’s easy have a strict dress code, play recent music and control the temp with your HVAC...

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...

The owner's description may have been accurate fifteen years ago, but definitely not anymore. This place has not been updated or even maintained... It's outdated and worn out.

The walkway into the nightclub is impressive and you'll feel like you're walking into a posh club from a movie scene. First thing you'll see is the bar, which is not quite as nice. Then you'll turn around and find the rest of the space is about on par with a medium-quality wedding venue.

The audio in that room used to be very capable. (I know that because several years back, I was an audio tech working on them personally.) But that system has been ill-maintained and broken/worn and it's limping. The subwoofers barely even do anything.

The lighting situation is even worse... Total lack of effort. A few small, old moving lights. No haze, no lasers, no strobes, nothing interesting at all.

The dance floor on the 2nd floor had three times as many people in it, and for good reason. Maybe people liked the DJ better, but the audio was definitely better (and considerably louder) even though it's a smaller venue.

(I was stunned when I went into H.O.M.E. and noticed it had the best audio in the whole building. Great subs, decent overall sound, and at least a few interesting lights - and it's not even a dance club!)

Skip Eve. You'll pay extra money and you won't be getting an extra experience, except for the...
