    This is hands down, our favorite restaurant/bar. Consistently great, has an old style pub feel, and…read moreis always decorated beautifully and on theme seasonally. We also love the rotation of drinks and foods each month. It gives us a new reason to come back that keeps it fresh and interesting. We know there is a wait to get in at happy hour and dinner time so we check in and walk down to Martony's for a drink and some Golden Tee while we wait to be called. It's 21 and over due to Indiana law and the size of the space. It makes it a special night for just us though and it's also turned into a tradition to bring our older kids for a really fun evening out when they turn 21. I do wish they would bring back the caprese sandwich as a regular item on the menu. It was my favorite as a lunch time option. And I hope they NEVER remove the Dilly Dally Dip because omg it's the best spinach dip we have ever had in our lives.

    Location right on the square across from the court house so parking could be an issue but if you're…read morewilling to walk parking is available. It's a great use of an old building keep the details in tack make so nice. During warm weather they have patio seating perfect for people watching inside they high tops ,bar and regular tables so something for everyone to be comfortable. They have a monthly menu that rotates for a variety the regular menu is filled with a wide variety. I ordered off the starter menu which was filling you will not leave hungry but you will leave planning on what you will eat the next visit. We went on a Sunday afternoon they had 2 servers one inside and one for the outside...these guys worked so well together not once did we want for something and to be honest I doubt anyone was neglected the service was that Good

I wanted more LOL. It was Thursday so their special on wings are $5. I also got the cheeseburger egg rolls which were Devine and the sauce that came with it gave it that extra kick. The drinks were good as well. The most popular one was the Merilee. It comes in to flavors strawberry and lime. The service was great and the ambiance of the place was nice for a bachelorette party. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We went around 530, and the place was busy. It got super busy as dinner time rolled around. We sat at the bar and the greeted by the bartender. We ordered two drinks and two entrees to share. I had the Reyka and the Shrimp Étouffée (featured special). My husband ordered the Bedarra Old Fashioned and the Southern Fried Chicken. Our drinks were phenomenal. The presentation of mine was not what I expected. Loved the aesthetics! The Shrimp Étouffée was not one of our favorites. Shrimp was cooked to perfection but the rice and sauce ok, it was bland. The southern fried chicken was really good. It was flavorful and juicy. Definitely coming back when our daughter plays out there again. Nice place to grab a drink and a quick bite.

    The key to eating out begins with service. And service at…read morePivot has been on a long slow decline. They keep losing good servers and the staff has expressed failures of management. This comes out in service to customers. The food still is acceptable but the failure to be nice and friendly has made the experience an abject failure. They have lost my confidence and we who go once a week are now done. No more. Consider yourself warned and buyer beware. Lots of good options in Crown Point that will provide good service. There has always been an off odor here but can be overlooked if all else is good.

    If you haven't eaten at Pivot Lounge yet, "HOLD UP!" you're definitely missing out on one of Crown…read morePoint's MOST unexpectedly fantastic dinners. I and a few other family members were invited by my mother and by the time I walked out, I was wondering why this place wasn't packed wall‑to‑wall every night. Let's start with Monday's AYCE perch -- absolutely outstanding. Lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and fried just right. It's the kind of perch that makes you rethink every mediocre fish fry your uncle threw that your family tolerated. If you're a perch person, this is your new weekly ritual. Then came the walleye, WATCH OUT NOW, and honestly, my sister wasn't prepared. She said it was flaky, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of herbs & spices she recognized that said, "Yeah, we know exactly what the hell we're doing." "It's the kind of fish that makes you pause mid‑bite and appreciate life for a second." But the real surprise of the night? The bacon, mushroom, and American cheese hamburger -- unforgettable. This thing deserves its own billboard. Juicy, stacked, and unapologetically delicious. Every bite felt like a small celebration. On top of all that, the place is spotless. I mean impressively clean. Floors, tables, bar area -- everything looked like someone had just finished polishing it. You can tell the staff takes pride in the space. And speaking of the space... Yes, the building once housed a gentleman's club. But now? It's so clean, so friendly, and so well‑run that the only thing dancing is your taste buds. The only thing exotic here is how good the food is. Pivot Lounge has officially earned a spot on my "must return" list. Great food, great service, great atmosphere -- and a glow‑up story worthy of its own documentary.
