Great selection of cocktails. Amber is an absolute gem. Great atmosphere and aesthetic. Definitely recommend this spot for happy hour.

People in SF are a bit short on patience and the bartender at Swig was particularly. It was loud and I was trying to ensure that he doesn't put ice in one of the drinks. I wasn't sure if he had heard my initial request...so when he was making a drink I gestured with my hand to stop him from putting ice. He was super annoyed by that, threw an expletive and said "no one touches the drinks I'm making". Sure bro - you're making the drink - but it's for me and I'm paying for it, so for all practical purposes - it is my drink! Anyway the bar is nice - has a nice vibe and makes a great place for post date drinks or catching up with friends.More
We were recommended Swig as a bar to catch a late night drink. It was a quite Monday night but the bar was buzzing - plenty of groups enjoying a late night catch-up in front of a huge open gas fire. Drinks are reasonably priced...and there is a great choice of beers. I would recommend one for the road - absolutely.More
My wife and I were quietly enjoying our drinks and conversation when staff came up and asked us to move to different seats in the bar because someone else wanted to sit in our seats. We had only been there 25 mins (10 of which...I was at the bar trying to get us drinks), so not like we were there for some unreasonable length of time. Who does this?? If there was a reservation, put a sign up. Otherwise, maybe it's not unreasonable to ask the incoming guests to wait until the current patrons are done. Great way to lose customers and will not return.More
Prohibition themed bar. Great cocktails. Places to talk upstairs and downstairs. Good DJ. Get crowed around 10:30pm
great bourbon choices in this cozy bar. DJ was playing Latin dance music, but not too loud. Alex was great!,
Really poor service. Not sure why they feel that after someone pays for drinks that are made of, they dont deserve to finish them. Bouncers are rude, at about 1:10 (50 minutes before closing) will start hassling you to finish your drink. Even 20 mins...before closing they will aggressively kick you our regardless of if you just ordered. The only time they pretended to care about customer service was when I said aloud that I would review on multiple channels.More
Awesome drinks. Must try the white lie, great ambiance! Live DJ - she was amazing! Definitely recommend this place to check our for drinks and good music!
Came here for a NorCal snowboarding post season “Meetup” & I’m friends with the organizer . Huge network of over 3,000 ski hounds in club. The bouncer was funny & courteous . But my experience was a disaster and bartenders are totally incompetent & inefficient....They only serve pretty women and guys have to wait forever. But that can be expected from time to time. Bussers were violently pushing patrons away from server station and yelling. But when I closed out my credit card tab at end of night I noticed a bunch of random charges. ( I came to event alone) Nobody knew my real name besides looking at my credit card. The bartender gave my credit card back and I didn’t sign transaction . But never apologized for fraudulent charges . He said he would void charges I circled in pen on check after closing. And said a bunch of gals said to put their round on me. So.... all you have to do to get free libations in this establishment is just point at any sucker and say, “ put on his tab” without any verification or even my real name referenced. The kicker is when I called to say all charges were still pending several days later I contacted the manager “Adrian.” Who was rude and unapologetic too. And said he would take care of it . And also said that girls put drinks on strangers tabs all the time at Swig. Haha . that’s a really unprofessional business practice. Train your staff! And when I waited another few days . (Week total) charges were still never reversed . So either Adrian was lazy, forgetful , or a crook . I have been in F&B management for 24 years and this behavior is only seen in shady spring break towns & not a restaurant capital like SF . The staff should get a little break for cinco de mayo crowd . But management has no excuse . I have been a guest here multiple times in the past & will tell everybody ( especially Meetup groups ) to not patrionize this crooked bar ever again !More
My sister and I are late 20s early 30s and wanted to check out the nightlife in San Fran as we were visiting for 2 days. Clubs no longer interest us but we wanted more of a lounge/pub feel with great music and a dance...floor and that's exactly what we found when we came here. The crowd was great- not too young and not too old. The bouncers were very sweet. The lady bartender was a bit rude and was selective with who she would serve but the male bartender was great. We had a blast and would definitely come back! It was a little smaller than I expected.More
Best drinks, service & Music! At sunday nigth there is live music and monday we found latin music!!!
The worst place i ve been to, very rude staff, particularly bouncers. Got charged 50 bucks for single yamazaki 12, ridiculous price. Then my 3 out of 3 drinks were stolen! Very Unsafe!
Many places in the City charge a cover on Saturday night but Swig was an exception so we went in. The drinks were pretty good but more importantly there was plenty of space for dancing. Of note, the bottles of water at the edge of...the bar (self service) was an added bonus.More
Their drinks list may not be up to date but a bourbon and scotch fan will have a good time. Wednesday night there was a live jazz playing.
Atmosphere was nice when we got there. Soon figured out we were hustled by 2 guys who seemed to know the bar tender. Ended up with a massive bar bill. Will not go again.
