Swell Bar & Restaurant

Good location - not too far from the beach, near lots of local shops. The service was decent and they have a good selection of Indonesian dishes as well as western at good prices. The mie goreng was good!

Had a couple cocktails and fries here. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the 2 for 1 happy hour cocktails tasted great. There was cricket, rugby, and tennis on the TV screens so if you're a sports fan this is a good spot. Nice airy, open atmosphere to the bar.

Meatball soup good, but spicy. Waitresses look bored, and on the phone, not best service. Fried banana with ice cream was lush.

This place is suited to people wanting western style food, not really for traditional Indonesian food. Prices reflect this target audience. The restaurant is well maintained, has clean and functional bathrooms, is comfortable and breezy. They play cool tunes. Staff are ok, could be a little more friendly. For me, this is a good place to have a beer and chill. I can see how the food options work for other travelers.

Great icy cold beers had me happy to try their menu, as did the big poster of one of their burgers. Unfortunately this was the end of the good experience, what came out was an overly toasted and not very fresh bun, inside was moderately packed with ingredients but it just tasted overly bland and didn't excite me at all. Price wasn't that great overall but definitely not worth it for the quality. Even worse was the fish and chips ordered by another member at our table, the grey meat and odd smell had us all feeling a bit weary about the whole food side of things. Stick to the beers and get yourself a seat for the big screen they play Aussie sports on, but don't be tempted by the food.

The manager on duty has poor customer relation skills. The staff are grumpy, lacking a positive attitude. I suspect there is something very wrong here at managerial level that has filtered down to the floor staff here. I’ve yet to post a negative review but I’m opening the account with this place.
It’s a nice place aesthetically if you want to face the big screen and watch sports. Our beers were nice and cold, shame about everything else.
