Second time in and delicious and fun. Our waiter didn't seem to know the menu or cocktail menu well at all. And we waited a long time before he would reappear even though the restaurant was half full. If we go back we'll sit at the bar where the service is great.

Swift's Attic had a nice ambiance. Our server was attentive and gave steered us in the right direction on the menu. It was a family style food and each dish was lovely. I would especially shout out the bacon-wrapped apricots and crispy chicken thighs. The cocktails were also well done, and being a bourbon lover, they had a nice selection to choose from. Overall it was a great experience.

Waiter went out of his way to adjust menu for multiple food allergies. Great dinner and setting.

Food was amazing! Asked our waiter if we were missing anything after we ordered to make sure we tried all the best stuff and he brought out the edamame which were amazing! The churro dessert was fantastic! Overall everything we had was wonderful highly recommend! Drinks are great as well!

I've gone here for years and loved the vibe, veg options & sphere cocktails. Tonight was my last visit there. From their stairway that starts you off with an awful smell to inedible food. Sorry Swift's but the effort wasn't there tonight. Other than taking items off the bill, no one blinked an eye at our clearly unsatisfactory experience.

Swift's Attic does not disappoint. They have a real creativity in their menu offerings.

Swift's Attic was fantastic! Great ambiance, tasty small plates, and excellent cocktails. Highly recommend the Tiger Apricot and ice ball cocktails—will return soon!

Have been coming here for many years historically been a great spot, for whatever reason our favorite item “The How We Roll” cut their portion size by over half. The main reason we would come here is now not even worth it to get. I wish they would go back to their old portion sizes.

Terrible service! Like really bad, ruined the experience.

It's a small but unique place with a fun vibe. The food is absolutely amazing! I have a dairy intolerance, so it's a bit tricky for me at times but they were able to provide excellent choices with no issues. The tiger apricots had a lot of flavor in each bite. The waygu short ribs in the ol dirty galbi were so tender and juicy they practically melted in my mouth. And the black rice had really good flavor. I would 100% recommend eating here.
OMG, the food was fantastic! The food comes in small sharable portions for 2-3 people, depending on the appetite. We had about 4-5 entrees, and they were ALL fantastic. The waitress was extra nice and accommodating. She brought in an extra chair as the table was a booth/chair setup for two. The booth made me feel like a 5-year-old eating at the big boy table without a booster seat. I simply mentioned it to the waitress, and she raced a regular chair over. Extra Nice!!! Good food, atmosphere, and waitress. Can't ask for more!!

All the dishes were unique and delicious! Cocktails were great and the bourbon selection is impressive. The pork cheek dish was the crowd favorite at our table.

This place is a whimsical whiskey wonderland. Their staff is connected and cool. Hilarious menu. Mouthwatering food and drinks. Hit this place and then Elephant Room in the basement or vice versa!

Swift’s Attic in downtown Austin is a must-visit, combining creative dishes with a cool, vibrant vibe. The food was exceptional—we especially loved the blistered shishito peppers and the flavorful wagyu burger.
What truly stood out, though, was the fantastic cocktail experience, thanks to **Fern, the bartender**. He’s a master mixologist who crafts drinks with precision and creativity. His recommendations were spot-on, and his engaging personality added to the whole experience. For great food and even better drinks, Swift’s Attic—and Fern—are a winning combo!
