We came to the Swan bar after hearing some good things about the place. It was super decked out for Christmas. We thought going a bit early we’d best the crowds but we were wrong. Place was super packed and there was a 10 minute wait.
The bar has lots of space to sit and a great seasonal drink options. We had 1 of almost everything on their menu. The atmosphere was super chill. A must do on any list of bars to check out. We will definitely come back here after the holiday season to check it out again.

THE best and coolest bar in town. Entire atmosphere and team are amazing, drinks that never disappoint. This city needs more bars like this, not more consortium Avantgarde BS.

Rude and pretentious staff. Do not go if you are looking to have a good time or if you are in a good mood. Male bartender working the night of 9/30/25 refused my group service and kicked us out because my friend gave him a thumbs up. Not sure what his problem was but he doesn’t really seem suited for hospitality work

WORST service. These dudes think they can be rude or everyone because they’re behind a 3 inche counter. Get real and get back to work.

Good drink menu and reasonable prices. Ok beer list. Smash burger was very good as were pimento fries.

Original 3 star review was based on vibe, but my last visit a few days ago made it worse. The process of getting a drink is not great and the bartender ended up using the wrong glass for my cocktail. The bartender tried to fix it by pouring the cocktail into the right glass but doing so made it completely lose its fizz (you know when you get the glass 90% full of bubbles). It tasted terrible - not worth the $14 for a cocktail given the better bars nearby.

We stumbled into this gem and were greeted like regulars—which is always a good sign.
The decor? Think funky meets fabulous.
We cozied up at the bar and weren’t disappointed.Yes, the happy hour martinis are premade—gasp!—but even my husband, who treats martini-making like a sacred ritual, gave it a solid thumbs up. I went for a hand crafted mezcal cocktail, asked for “not too sweet,” and the bartender understood the assignment.
Great drinks, cool crowd. Definitely worth a stop if you like your cocktails well made and your bars with velvet paintings on the wall.
If you desire an outdoor patio experience. They have that too.
Hell yeah! Great drinks, great atmosphere, great music, and my second date went really well... I thought. She doesn't want to see me anymore, but I had a great time.

Didn't eat any food, but the drinks were good! Service was nice and the bar was cool. Menus were sticky but other than that the place was decent. Cheers!
