See you at the Ritz!!

Beer is the main thing that makes this place special. The selection includes German beers, imports, and craft favorites, as well as a substantial number of classic American lagers. You can choose from a wide range of beers, from crisp Pabst Blue Ribbon and Coors Banquet to hop-forward beers like Two Hearted IPA and 60 Minute IPA. There are also rotating options that are worth trying. Here is always something ready to match your mood.
Sylvester Komasinski started the business as the Buffet Polski around 1890. Some time later in the 1940's John Komasinski changed the name to the Ritz Klub and operated the business with his wife Cecilia. John and Cecilia ran the tavern until the 1970's and then brother Richard and sister Phyllis took over the operation of the tavern until May of 2020.
The Ritz Klub has been a family legacy to Michigan City since the 1890's! It's been serving great food and drinks to many locals and tourists for over a century.
Thanks for celebrating the good times with us all these years, Michigan City!

As of June 1st, 2020 the Ritz Klub is under new ownership by a Michigan City native, Benjamin Roule. Ironically Ben delivered beer to the Ritz Klub years ago and the tavern was a long time customer of his family's beer distribution business, Laporte County Beverage and then later Metro Beverage.
Ben has extensive experience in the beer industry and as a successful entrepreneur.
Ben understands the importance and ties the Ritz Klub has to the local community and plans to continue the historic legacy and local following the Komasinski's have created for the tavern.
To put it simply, there may be some new paint on the walls and some new faces behind the bar but the Ritz will be that place where everyone feels welcome!

The wings are top 3 wings I've ever had in my life! Service at the bar was great! Atmosphere doesn't get better. I also had a chili cheese dog that was really good. The cocktails were on point and the beer was cold!
Double stack burger with bacon, minced garlic, grilled onions and bbq sauce was one of the best things I ever tasted. So were the hand cut fries. Absolutely spectacular food.
A classic and fun place for friendly and fast service, excellent meals and a full range of drinks. Try the Reuben, you won't be disappointed.
