Please join us in our new location in the 3rd Ward, on North Broadway between Buffalo and Chicago streets. The new Swig has added Lunch, Entrees, Salads, Sandwiches, Fireside dining and a large outdoor patio. In 2005 Swig was Milwaukee's first and only small plate dining restaurant. It's meant to be a fun, shared experience where guests can choose from a variety of flavors and sample several menu items each visit. Start with just a couple of choices and see where our menu takes you. The menu also features 20 martinis, an eclectic array of wines and champagnes as well as award-winning deserts. Swig's earthy tones offer a warm and cozy environment that makes for perfect place to spend your evening and experience a classy, big-city atmosphere in Milwaukee's Third Ward.

Great Place for expensive martinis  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Diane S. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 785

If you want to spend money, go to Swig. They have an extensive martini menu as well as some interesting appetizers, Martinis are from about $9-$12, with similar prices for appetizers. The atmosphere is great, a nice place to meet friends, but be sure to bring your MC or stop at the ATM on the way.

Swiggin awesome!!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

By captmorgan

I work a block a way from Swig and my coworkers and I frequently visit for happy hour. We don't always eat when we visit, but when we do it's always amazing. For us however, the happy hour prices combined with attentive service and relaxed atmosphere make it our only destination in the neighborhood. After working down the street for over six years with limited options, we are thrilled to have this gem in our neighborhood.

Pros: Happy Hour, Service, Food, Ambience
Cons: Parking

mozzarella paninni sans mozzarella 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By rmcrn

Went for a late lunch, hostess was very nice, wait staff as well. All downhill from there. Both water cups had lipstick on them (not mine), and husbands sandwhich had a metal shaving on it. Not good at all. Mozzarella paninni had very little mozzarella, was soggy and overall presentation not good. Fruit cup lacking, wouldn't think that was possible. Fries cold, need I say more. Prices were good however, unfortunate that that caliber of food had to be paid for. Won't go again and would not recommend. Sorry Swig.

Went there tonight and it is closed down. Place is now called Sullivans and was empty. Lots of good bars in the area though.
