    I wish the atmosphere was better. Just too stark . Why not have a candle light on each table- fake or real? Above all the bathrooms were substandard and dark. . One stall didn't even work. Very small area at the sink. It made me feel I was in a substandard restaurant. Service was great and the food very good but not excellent.

    I had a very nice experience at SWIG. The staff was very attentive, helpful with suggestions from the menu and pleasant. The food was very well prepared with good size proportions. The restaurant seemed to fit the atmosphere of the Third Ward. Overall, a very nice experience.

    I have gone here multiple times including dinner at Swig for my bachelorette party years ago. I'm sorry to see it close.

    A friend of mine recommended this place on a recent trip to Milwaukee & it didn’t disappoint. We went for lunch and there were plenty of options — including options for my vegetarian friend. The atmosphere was chic, service on point & I’d love to come back to try their wine.

    Swig is perfectly situated if you want a bite to eat near the theater. This, of course, becomes more necessary on rainy or freezing cold days. Our service was excellent and that’s important to me. The food was average

    Swig was a perfect place to meet out-of-town friends who were staying in the downtown area. The menu was diverse enough to offer salads, small plates, sandwiches and full entrees...something for everyone's palette. Our service was excellent and not at all rushed...all in all, a very pleasant experience.
