I came here desiring some good food and a good drink. Unfortunately, I only received a good drink…read more My significant other and I sat at a table. There was a food menu on the table. I went up to the bar to place my order, but I was told that they couldn't make food. That was a big blow. I sucked it up and ordered a drink. I ordered a Jack and Coke. I was hungry, but I already came inside and sat down, so I wanted to at least give this place a chance for survival. The bartender finished my drink fairly fast. I closed my tab and paid the bill. My drink was $5.00, so that wasn't too bad. I took the drink back to the table and took it for a ride. The Jack and Coke was amazing. I really wish they had food, so I could've enjoyed another one. The bartender had a poor attitude. She seemed irritated that I wanted to order food, unless she just hated her job. She definitely didn't treat me right. Overall, I didn't really have a good time here. The mixture of being teased with a food menu, a bad attitude from the bartender, and the smoke that infested the air added up to a displeasing experience for me. I don't recommend this place.

Dirtty's Jazz & Blues House is officially open for business. My bestie and I checked it out the…read moreother night during our spontaneous Miller Beach pub crawl, and it was pretty OK. I have to admit, the place is waaaaay bigger on the inside than expected. There's a large u-shaped bar with nice lighting, some small high-top tables and chairs, a stage toward the back for the live jazz and blues bands, and even a lounge area with a fireplace and cozy chairs & end tables. Cute and trendy, a nice place for a date. The servers are prompt and friendly. But we ordered Stoli and sodas and pretty much got huge glasses of just vodka on the rocks. I'm not convinced the bartenders really know how to mix a drink, but I'll try a different cocktail next time (although it's kinda hard to mess up a Stoli and soda, right?). The flyer for Dirtty's says in big, bold letters "Adults 40 and Up" which could be just the kind of vibe your looking for, or maybe not your thing at all. Either way, they're very up front about it. My friend happens to be 30 and joked the whole night about being upset that she wasn't carded. C'est la vie. Currently they are open Thursday through Sunday and charge a reasonable $5 cover. Our drinks were $7 each, which is also reasonable considering it was a giant glass of vodka. All in all, we enjoyed our time at Dirtty's and will probably be back. Since they just recently opened, I will forgive the mediocre drink and hope for the best next time. It really is a cute place to enjoy a cocktail with friends and hear some live music by the fire.

Second time I tried to visit was on 2017 New Years Eve. My husband and I pulled in parking lot about 8:30ish and you could hear the music playing from outside but again when we got to door it was locked and we tried knocking but no one ever came to door. The Windows are made of glassblock so that wasn't helpful when trying to knock. I've tried to contact by Facebook, email and phone and have failed to get through. Really disappointed as I would love to see what this place has to offer.

They also have cocktails and wine. Service is wonderful & the vibe is very lowkey. They allow outside food which is great during football season.

I've been a regular for about 2 years, and I think the negative reviews are just because people are…read moreexpecting a general bar/cheap taproom, so here are disclaimers about standard Tap. -THE BEER IS EXPENSIVE: The owner is exceptionally picky about what he puts on draft and tries to source beers that are harder to find in Indiana. Because they are of better quality and harder to find, they are a bit more expensive. Standard Tap sells big brand beer in bottles and cans if you just want a cheap regular beer. -THE BEER HAS NO HEAD: This is 100% intentional. You go to most good breweries and they intentionally pour a smaller head. -THERE IS NO FOOD: At no point has this place ever advertised food. They do, however, allow you to bring whatever you want in. They offer takeout menus from local businesses, or you can bring your own food and snacks from home. This is actually becoming much more popular with breweries, bars, and taprooms. My personal experience with the service has been fine. I will say that the husband and wife who own it are the only employees, so it will take a while to get your beer if they are busy. If you genuinely like craft beer, and not just Sunking and Sierra Nevada, this place is worth a try. There is always a variety of beers on tap, so there is something for everyone. The highlight of this place is beer but there are other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks offered. My advice is to pack some snacks and head there on a weekday night if you really want to get a feel for this place.

I can only evaluate based on two items and carryout as I did NOT eat inside…read more I ordered at the bar, which the service was quick and pleasant. I ordered the Restaurant Crawl special for $7 which was the Lake Perch basket with cole slaw & tartar sauce. I also ordered the sweet potato fries for $7. Both entrees were excellent. The Lake Perch was just perfect. It's fried and not soaked in butter how some restaurant prepare it. So it's easy to handle and dip into the tartar sauce, which was on the sweet side. The cole slaw would have been better if it was in a separate bag or container instead of being with the fish as it was warm. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly, too. Very tasty and I at every last one! It did not need any condiment to make them taste better. I would go back - but not sure about eating indoors - it's definitely a bar area and it appears to allow smoking inside, unsure of that though. The bar has two sides and there are plenty of large/long tables spread out and you can dine as a single, couple or larger group. But there is a sign on the door that says 21 and over only. They will card!

I am thrilled someone is keeping the speakeasy alive! So many wonderful memories!! With that said, I don't live " down the street" so to speak. We come out on Sunday's to hike the nearby trails or use the beaches. With the area now designated as a National Lakeshore, it would be to this establishments benefit to open from 11 am /12pm on Saturday & Sunday!
