My husband ordered the New York strip (medium rare) and brussel sprouts. This is the first time any restaurant has ever served his steak the exact way it was ordered. I ordered the pork chop with brussel sprouts as well. Each were perfectly smothered in onions and mushroom and the brussel sprouts were to die for! I wasn’t going to eat the bun but it was too good to waste. 😂 Highly recommend!! 😋

The Swingin' Door Exchange is a gem of a restaurant - with fantastic food, great service, a cozy interior design, and very affordable prices!

I highly recommend their Ahi Tuna Steak (and, I'm glad I requested some of their delicious tarter sauce, to go with it)!

Also, their Carmelized Brussels Sprouts and Spicy Vermouth Carrots are absolutely superb!

This restaurant is a must-try!!

My favorite bar downtown. We don't get out to Milwaukee much but, it's just our pace, older bar, great atmosphere to just enjoy some drinks and talk amongst friends.

I had my husband’s 70th birthday dinner at Swingin’ Door last Friday, they don’t take reservations but a time for arrival was recommended and our party of 10 was seated even before we were told our table would be ready. Shelly, Michael and the entire staff are AMAZING!! The food is always top notch and all 10 different orders were delivered within minutes of each other.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE!
We were treated like family and everyone loved the food!
Every time we’re in Milwaukee we spend time at our favorite destination-Swingin’ Door!!

We came here just for the Friday Fish Fry because we are good (non) Catholics! Husband had 4 pieces of the Lake Perch with fries, and I had 2 pieces of the Cod with House Chips and Cajun Ranch, with an additional side of Spicy Vermouth Carrots.
Husband loved everything, and ate everything!
I loved the cod, the chips with Cajun Ranch, and even the coleslaw that comes with. German-style coleslaw with a bite from the caraway.
The Vermouth Carrots are grilled to the point of being charred, which I was really excited for, but husband and I had mixed feelings. I found them not flavorful enough, and quite dry. They needed more spice and I wanted them to be sweeter, too. I didn't need them to be glazed but something would have kicked it up. Or some kind of fat - oil, butter, something.
We were headed to the State Fair later so I knew this was the last vegetable I'd get for a while, so I ate them, but I did not enjoy them.
This is a Pub's Pub - very publike. But not a gross pub, I didn't need to be glad the lights were dim. It felt clean, but definitely a traditional dark wood, carpeted pub.

Would be a 5 star review but the pizza is just gross frozen pizza. Delicious brussel sprouts and the server got me a hot chocolate! The pizza is a real disappoint tho. Look forward to returning durning day time to experience the real menu.

Was waiting for 30 mins and they didn’t serve me. They served folks who came later and the one before but omitted me. I don’t know if it was because I was just one and it didn’t make business sense but it was ridiculous and ruined my evening
