Swells a Dive Bar — Restaurant in Michigan City

Been there twice and both times our music from the jukebox that we bought songs on have been shut off mid song. People pay for those. Why not just let them play instead of shutting them off and trying to offer credits coming in the next time? Doesn't make us want to come back if it's a reoccurring issue. Unplug your online jukebox if you don't want people to play music?

Heard about this place from a friend. Been on a huge pizza kick and heard this was a great place to go. My bf and I stopped in for lunch during the week. The place is a bit small but cute, typical bar decor. No smoking which is nice!! They have a pool table, dart machine, and a online music box you can play music. The menu isn't very large. We just got a pizza. We ordered a thin crust, extra cheese meat lovers. It was so cheesey and perfect. The sauce was amazing! I am definitely getting the meatballs to go with dinner next time! I heard they make all the sauces and pizza doughs. I was very happy. I'll upload some pics next time. Cocktails were great. Can't...

First time visit. Celebrating my husband's birthday. Live in Lowell, In and staying at the Blue Chip. Wanted to find place for cocktails and lunch. Read reviews so decided here. Not disappointed to say the least. First good sign, busy for early afternoon. Vibe inside was cute, clean, and reminded us of younger days. Peter the bartender was outstanding. He knew what you needed before even asking. Pleasant and made you feel super important. Had great menu choices, difficult to decide but we went with the Detroit pizza. WOW, the best. Served fabulous on silver server. Crust done perfect. A bit different but sauce is served on the side. Had Marinara.. Fresh tasting by far. Peter suggested trying sliced meatballs instead of sausage. Another WOW.. When we left the place of full. Can see why. The only thing I can complain about is.. we live quite the distance, otherwise we'd be quite the regulars and try everything on the menu. Thank you Swells for making a great birthday...

There are good people here!

Chris (the owner and Rocky Marciano’s long-lost twin) and Kris (Operations Manager and very possibly, a Ninja Master) run an outstanding establishment with passion and skill. The Bartenders are attentive, fast and make great drinks.

The food is absolutely top-notch. The atmosphere is a blend of high energy and pure fun. Whether you're sinking shots at the pool table 🎱 (free on Tuesdays! 🎉) or testing your skills with darts 🎯 (not free, but still totally worth it!), add a TouchTunes jukebox to the mix and you've got a night filled with great music and great vibes!
