But, I don't know if I'm going anymore. I went in to have a burger and sat down to look at a 3 foot vinyl decal of Trump giving me the finger at the focal point of the bar. I don't care what the political views of a business owner are. And, he shouldn't care about mine. When you display divisive political deco, it tells me I'm not welcome if I don't agree. So, my wife and I left and went to Eddies. I'll return when that crap comes down.

She was super rude when I was asking questions about changing an item on the menu. She kept rolling her eyes at me and told me to either pick something or "get the fuck out". I was so shocked, I'm pregnant and having specific cravings and I couldn't believe what she said. I'm just in town visiting and couldn't even eat. We ended up leaving because of the service. I'm surprised she even works here! Or with any customer service with her attitude!

At least he knew how to pour a shot (some don't) but a whiskey and ginger ale was ordered, a whiskey coke was served. He even clarified it was ginger ale, not ginger beer, and then still poured coke. At this point I have to laugh, why does every bartender in this area do this??

We were driving thru Benton Harbor and saw this cute winery online so we decided to stop in since…read moreit was a rainy afternoon. We were greeted by Jessica who was super nice. We did a flight of reds along with a Caramel Apple cider. We also ordered their whitefish dip (GF). She was so nice she bought my wife crackers and veggies since she's GF and a basket of regular crackers for me. The wines were very good as was the cider. We loved Third Times a Charm which was a red blend. We bought a bottle even tho it was pricey..39.00. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as live entertainment and food specials on certain nights of the week. Check their website for more details. Whether your a wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun time, Vineyard 2121 is definitely worth a visit...voted Best Local Winery year after year.

A new to us winery in the Coloma/Patton Harbor area…read more The space itself is gorgeous. It's overlooking hills and vineyards, it has a massive patio. There's also plenty of indoor seating if the weather takes a turn. The wine was good. It did not stand out above other places places I've been to in the area, but I would definitely drink it again. My biggest complaint would've been that they had music playing on the speakers that was so loud we could hardly hear ourselves, even though we were sitting the furthest away from it. They were having a band coming in later, which is a great idea. But if it's not live music, why on earth would you have the music so loud. I hope that it is quieter next time we visit (which we will do again). Not really the atmosphere to sample wind in. I also wish the staff was a little more helpful at wines. No wineries is good at everything, so I like to ask what they do best or what they recommend. The person pouring just responded that everything was great, which isn't super helpful. Nonetheless we really did enjoy our visit. I would definitely go again, and if you are visiting wineries in the area, you should definitely stop by..

"A perfect pit stop for pizza, pours, and ridiculous good times"…read more If you're the kind of person who likes pizza so big it threatens to spill over your lap, beer cold enough to make a snowman jealous, and a bar atmosphere that's "rustic chic" -- otherwise known as "dive-bar with a soul" -- then Swells is your joint. Walk in and you're instantly hit with: a dozen TVs showing whatever game, a neon sign letting you know you're not in Kansas (or Chicago), and the unmistakable aroma of something cheesy, savory, and probably sinful. I went for the Detroit-style pizza and wasn't disappointed -- each square slice was like a little piece of heaven on a cardboard platform. The bartenders? Friendly as a farm dog when you show up with the cooler tucked in back of your pickup. Drinks flow quick, conversations are easy, and before you know it you've swapped a few tall tales with locals who've probably been coming in since the 80s (and loving the same 80s-era jukebox hits). The vibe's cozy, no pretense -- just good grub + good company. Yes, the parking lot's about as roomy as a Lincoln continental in a compact-car slot, but that's half the charm -- if everyone else's SUVs are packed in tight, it must mean you found the right place. Bottom line: if you're cruising US-12, or in the mood for cheap drinks, honest food, and a laugh or two -- Swells is the kind of place where you leave with a full belly, a warm buzz, and a grin. I'll definitely be back (and likely announcing it loud enough for the bartender to overhear it over the next game).

The building is a cool very old brick maybe factory or warehouse of some type. Has that industrial look to it. We ordered at the bar and our bartender was very friendly and offered us to try some beers. I had the IPA and my wife had the wheat, and both were excellent! They have a large selection for any palate, and wine too. They have a great food menu but we did not try anything. I saw on Facebook where they make asparagus soup! If in the area and need some food and beer, give them a try. They get bands throughout the year, and the variety sounded good.

My dad got the French dip sandwich, my mom got the fish sandwich, my husband got the patty melt without onion, and I got the turkey club without tomato sandwich. Service was fantastic and quick. Our waitress was an absolute gem, unfortunately her name escaped my brain, but she was just lovely. She did great with remembering who got what and even the slight changes to our meals. If you're in the area I would highly recommend coming to T.J's. My parents also swear by their pizza but it can take an hour according to them and we had a bit of a time crunch. Whether you get a sandwich, pizza or just a round of beers this is a decent stop in Watervliet.
