Swift Lounge

32 oz cocktails? Be still my heart!

Wowza. So I don’t do reviews often, but after tonight’s experience I had to. I’m not sure if Swift is under new ownership, but the food we tried from the “new menu” was, well, awful. We got the loaded queso fries to start, then the five piece chicken that came with two sides, so we got the potato salad and baked beans. The fries and queso were underwhelming. We were huge fans of the fondue fries that were served before so this was a letdown. But the biggest letdown was the chicken, which used to be so, SO good. It. Was. Burned. Spent way too much time in the fryer. We can deal with crispy, but when the fry is so crispy that it cuts the inside of your mouth and makes an audible bang when you hit it on the table…yikes. The seasoning was also incredibly bland, so even what could possibly be redeemed by the flavor of crispy chicken skin was not. The sides were fine. We got our usual favorite cocktails that we’ve been getting for years, and they tasted watered down. It breaks my heart to write this since Swift has been one of our favorite places for the better part of ten years, but I don’t see this place surviving much longer if it stays this way. In the land of dive bar chicken like the Reel M Inn, you gotta do better. Bottom line: if you must go to Swift, still go for the drinks I guess. But have several drinks before you eat the food if you want it to be semi enjoyable.

I came for the masons, loved the fries, i will be back ! I'm looking at you, Kentucky Blackbird

Really good vibes and the music was stellar. Will probably be coming back.

I used to come here very often. Loved the space and atmosphere. I was very discouraged with my recent visit mainly because one again their food menu changed they used fo have a very vegetarian/vegan friendly menu now all they have is greasy tots or fries. They took the beay item off the menu which was their Brussels. Still would do for a drink bit because I'm vegetarian and don't enjoy greasy food I'm never planning on having a meal but the bartenders are always so sweet so I'd also come back for that amazing customer service experience

Great local spot.

Felt the Nate's Chicken was a little too chewy, not undercooked but close and completely lacking crunch. $16 is not cheap either for two fried chicken cutlets and some frozen fries. Drinks were average, personally not a fan of the layout and inside area.

The bartenders and Dj's are excellent !! Nice environment the people who attended this establishment are very nice as well. The only thing i can say that was negative was The skinny hispanic "security guard" is a straight up HATER. He was mean mugging the whole night and getting irritated at every convo. It must of been his time of the month. His negative projection towards others clearly shows that he hates his life. One day someones going to punch him in his creepy mustache or maybe even worse if he doesn't change his attitude. If you can ignore the skinny roid raging weird mustache hispanic security gaurd then you will surely have a great time!!!

Love the mason jars! Affordable and tasty. The bartenders are always quick and friendly.
