Kyle is THE MAN! And Tuesday Night Comedy Night is a NW Ohio INSTITUTION. GET to this place!!

The best bar in BG for college students and locals! Inexpensive drinks, fun karaoke, and great atmosphere. Always our last stop of the night.

I loved it here! My group had a blast. It was such a relaxed, cozy, and fun environment. We went on a Saturday night and we enjoyed the karaoke. There were a lot of talented, lively people performing! The bar staff were really nice, too. They were quick with our drinks and pretty knowledgeable. I definitely will return!

This place is Great!!! The food is amazing and the staff do a FANTASTIC job! They do a really cool thing for the local music scene too! Open Jams on the first Thursday of every month! If you've not been to one, I highly recommend it! Grab some dinner downstairs, then head upstairs for drinks and live music!

A wonderful and welcoming bar for all (legal) ages. If you're looking for a reasonably priced drink and laughs you won't forget, Grumpy Dave's is the bar for you. When karaoke night is going, the entire place is bustling with those who take on the challenge of getting up on stage to sing, and those who stay in the crowd but join them in song. Good or bad singer you're supported. The staff will always keep you laughing and will always bring you quick and efficient service. A must visit place if you're a fan of homey dive bars. It's my favorite place in BG!

Very cool place that gets it right.

Dave is a real good dude. Lots of great events during the week. Tuesday night's comedy open mic is one of the highlights of downtown Bowling Green.

The bar staff are amazing, drink options are phenomenal, and the atmosphere is cozy complete with wood floors and exposed brick walls! Friday and Saturday nights they host karaoke which is always a fun, crowded experience. I've never experienced anything negative here and it's become my "regular place" when looking for a fun, relaxing night out.
