SWELLS PADDLES FOR A PURPOSE! ❤️

What a morning for the Swells Team at the 10th Annual Dragon Boat Race benefiting Dunebrook, Inc.!

Our team, made up of patrons, friends, family, and employees, came ready to compete, and we had an incredible day on and off the water!

🏆 4th Place Overall
🥉 3rd Fastest Time of the Morning
🎉 Team Spirit Award
❤️ Most Funds Raised Award
💰 Over $7000 Raised for Dunebrook!

While we’re proud of our finish on the water, we’re even more proud of what this team accomplished for Dunebrook. This organization does so much for children and families in our community, and we’re honored to be able to support their mission.

A huge THANK YOU to Team Captain Kris Halfacre, and to everyone who donated, paddled, cheered us on, and helped make this such a special day.

We love a good time at Swells, but we love showing up for our community even more.

We believe every kid deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. That’s why we’re proud to paddle for Dunebrook on September 12th.

Help us make this one count. Please donate to Team Swells and help us raise as much as we can for Dunebrook! Donate below or look out for the green bucket at the bar! ⬇️

Giving Back & Getting in the Boat! 🐉🚣

Swells would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the American Order of Hibernians for including us in their Back-to-School Give Back! We love our teachers and are proud to support those who do so much for our community. 📚

And as Swell as that sounds… our team of regulars, staff, and amateur boaters is taking on another fundrasier at Stone Lake!

On September 12th, we’ll be hitting the water for the 10th Annual Dragon Boat Race to help support Dunebrook of LaPorte County.

We’re ready to paddle, probably laugh a lot, and hopefully stay in the boat! 😅

Please consider making an online donation to support our team and this incredible organization. Every donation helps us give back to the community we love: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/team/team-swells

🍷 A wine list that's never behind the 8 ball 🎱

We’ve got some new bottles behind the bar, including a few rare half bottles for when you want to drink something really nice without committing to the whole dang thing.

Fancy wine at a dive bar? We contain multitudes.

Come see what we’ve got!

SWELLS IS OPEN! 🍻

We’re open and operating as usual! 🙌

We were one of the lucky ones who didn’t lose electricity or internet during the storm. We know a lot of our friends and neighbors are still without power, so come hang out, cool off, charge your phone, grab a drink, and enjoy some AC!

No power? Come to Swells.
Got power? Pretend you don’t and come anyway. 😂🍺

We’ll see you at Swells! 🍕🍺

"6–7" foot swells? Sounds about right… after all, we’re Swells! 🌊🚤🏁

The weather isn’t stopping the Swells Dive Boat today! We’re proud to be on loan for the XINSURANCE Great Lakes Grand Prix, serving as the Course Marshal, Official Starter, and Rescue Boat for one of the Midwest’s premier offshore powerboat racing events.

With 5–7 foot swells rolling across Lake Michigan, today’s racers are in for a wild ride. The annual Grand Prix at Washington Park brings some of the fastest offshore powerboats in the country to Michigan City, and we’re honored to help keep the course safe.

If you see the Swells Dive Boat out on the water, give us a wave—

Stay safe, get wet, and have fun! Then head over to Swells Dive Bar after the races for a cold drink, great pizza, and to relive an unforgettable day on Lake Michigan.

From the Swells' Boat to the swells on the lake… to Swells on land. See you after the races! 🍻🌊🏁
