    Is Bobby G's a dive bar disguised as a martini bar, or is it a martini bar disguised as dive bar…read more Either way you look at it, it is a true dive bar that serves up classy Martini's. I am a true martini man and I am embarrassed to admit, until yesterday I have never been. What is sad, is I have been to all the bars to either side and across street. You'd think with, martini is the name, I would have gone. It wasn't until it was recommended to me, that I asked others and continued to get rave reviews. I popped in early on a Friday and had a Dirty Martini lunch. It's a dive bar, so my martini was served in a plastic tumbler. Mine was in a larger plastic glass, because the bartender wanted to empty the shaker. I'm a snob and prefer a classic stem glass, but once I took my first sip, the glass did not matter. My martini was extra dirty and served with blue cheese olives. I had chatted with the bartender and she knew it was my first visit, so she treated me with regular olives as well. So it really was a martini lunch. If you're in Grafton, be sure to check out Bobby G's, don't wait as long as I did.

    We took the ferries from St. Charles to Pere Marquette Lodge - one of our favorite day trips…read more After lunch at the lodge - we ventured to Grafton and wanted a drink. The Loading Dock was closed so we looked for something else nearby. We found Bobby G's and it was perfect! A very nice place inside with a unique "ICE CAVE" - a stone room used to store ice cut from the river! The bartender was very nice, the place decorated to make it warm and interesting, and the drinks cold! I'll be back here again sometime.

    Came here on a beautiful spring Sunday around dinner time for a drink before dinner. Sitting on the…read morewaters edge is really fun. We were able to find a seat in the shade right away. I know it can get busy and sometimes they have live music which is fun. This isn't a fancy cocktail lounge, it's a fun place to come and grab a drink and enjoy the river. The prices aren't the best for cocktails but not the worst. I've had some of their food in the past and it's typical bar food. Nothing I crave but something to eat while drinking.

    I saw this place on social media and wanted to try. A group…read moreof us came to dine before we did other activities. We came around 2pm on a Saturday and it's wasn't too crowded. You find a seat yourself and a server so come take your drink order. You can pay as your order or start a tab. Once you are ready to order, you go to the food area to order. Nachos area available within minutes so they'll ask you to wait there. If you just anything else, they'll give you a number for your table and a runner will bring it to you. You just tell them the area you are sitting. The drinks were good and the food was just ok. Very Bland. I didn't care for the fries, the nachos and fish nuggets were ok (bland). Burger was not good. The location is very nice as you are sitting off the dock and see boats floating past. Just a lot of bugs flying around so you area constantly swatting. This would be better to come during a breezy fall day with less bugs, for me anyway. The server was fine. She came quick with drinks. No refill on fountain drinks and it's about $3 per cup. A friend in the group had hair in her drink but they quickly assisted to resolve. I don't see myself returning but at least I tried it out.
