The Swingin' Door is an English pub in San Mateo that offers a charming atmosphere and a great place to watch a baseball game. The menu features a variety of beers and delicious options such as fish and chips, burgers, and more. The pub has a "dive pub" feel and a regular jazz band performs on Tuesday evenings. While the ventilation could be improved, the selection of beers and ciders on tap is a highlight. Street parking is available, making it a convenient spot to visit. Customers often stop by for drinks before heading to nearby restaurants, enjoying reasonable prices and quality drinks like premium Martinis and Guinness. The fish 'n' chips is highly praised, with fresh, flaky fish and well-cooked fries, packed with all essentials like tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and ketchup. Staff members are friendly, helpful, and accommodating, adding to the welcoming vibe. The pub also hosts karaoke nights, which are fun and lively, with decent sound and a friendly crowd. Although parking can be limited, the pub is ADA accessible and offers a cozy, friendly environment for both locals and visitors.
