In the tradition of Sweet Wallace's and The Loading Dock, The B.O.B. returned to its live music roots with the opening of H.O.M.E. (House of Music & Entertainment) in 2012. The stage at H.O.M.E. plays host to a variety of music genres including Rock, Blues, Tribute Bands, Indie, R&B, Country, Jazz, Folk, EDM and more. The room is casual, funky and the perfect reflection of The B.O.B.'s warehouse origins. The decor is a unique juxtaposition of modern amenities and repurposed vintage instruments. The Bourbon Bar at H.O.M.E. is impressive, with an ample variety of premium Bourbon, Scotch and Whiskey available. With a casual atmosphere, vintage decor, and a plethora of live music genres–like an old pair of jeans–H.O.M.E. is always a great fit. **H.O.M.E. Sweet Home!**
