Shortly after we sat down, a guy came out of the bar and took a look around. We acknowledged each other without saying a word, and he went back in. Then he came back to the table and asked me if I was going to order something to drink or wanted a menu. I told him that I did not want to drink anything that we were just trying to finish eating the ice cream. He clarified that the tables belonged to the bar and its clients. I told him that we would leave the table shortly. Before we left, something told me to make sure that the guy was not making me move just because he could. I asked my daughters to finish their dessert on a wooden bench that did not belong to the bar but it was not far from the bar area. It was the perfect place for me to see if the family of five was also going to be asked to move. Twenty minutes passed and the guy never came to ask them to move. He spent most of his time in the front area of the bar chatting with people. He peaked outside for a couple of seconds and saw us on the bench; we acknowledged each other again. All of the kids were behaving well. The parents at the other table were not drinking anything from the bar either; they were sharing ice cream with their kids. The only difference that I saw was that they were Caucasian, and we were not. I was so outraged with the situation that I asked a waitress for the guy?s info. She said that he was the manager and confirmed that the table being used by the family of five belonged to the bar. It pains me to have to write this, but I thought that treating racial minorities as ?second class? citizens was something that my daughters would have to read in history books and not have to experience it first hand. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Basically, I like it. Great cocktails, great bartenders, and music that's not going to wreck a conversation. It's almost a legend on the RIverwalk, and I can see why. It's actually an amazingly tiny bar but seems to do everything so well that you don't notice. No food, no cigarette sales - just cigars, good drinks, and a good time. Pros + One of the best drinks spot on the river itself Cons - No food - so eat first! http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html If you look at my Dolce Ultra Lounge review, you'll see that Dolce was lame so we walked next door to Swig North and it was so much better!!! It's a very cool place to have martini's...really great martini's at that! They have an extensive cute menu that makes you want to try them all! The waitstaff was very attentive as the manager. Signs of a great running establishment! Pros + Great martini's / drinks, Great service Cons - can be pricey, but its worth it! http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Great service and well-made cocktails about summarize this downtown institution. The music usually good too. The mojito is really a highlight for me, and it doesn't seem to burn too much of a hole in your pocket. I usually go either here or to Drink after work - both are relatively tourist-free and good places to find locals. Pros + Great drinks, great service. Cons - No food and can get very crowded. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html You wouldn't believe you're on the Riverwalk - it's a real find. The servers and friendly and although the bar is small, it's very intimate. They don't serve food but they have a nice outside seating area for when the weather's just right. They probably have the most extensive cigar list for anyone in San Antonio - great spot for meeting a friend or two. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html They serve my favorite Vodka, UV! The service is supurb and the cocktails are devine! The atmosphere is upscale and beyond trendy, it is a true cocktail lounge. If you are looking for beautiful people this is the place. Pros + the drinks Cons - none http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Great bar, drinks, service, you name it. Very relaxing after a hard days travel. I highly recommend this bar. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html My brother and I were in San Antonio last week and ended up at Swigs every night at some time or another. The Employees are awesome! Fiona, Shannon, Big D and the crew made us feel right at home. They have great drinks and also offer cold Black and Tans for the beer drinker. Check out the Jazz band 87 Caprice that plays there, good stuff. Thanks Swig! Pros + Great atmoshpere http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html The place has the worst service I have ever experienced. Plus, I was overcharged! http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html We recently visited SWIG. We definitely are not "yuppies" or "plastic" people. We are very much the average, blue collar worker and both visits, we were in shorts. Definitely not dressed up. Although the bar was very smokey and the music very loud, we did have a good time. The bar was extremely busy yet our waitress was very attentive and treated us like anyone else there who were "dressed to the nines" so to speak. Yes, the drinks are outrageously priced, yet they were the best martinis we have ever had. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Anyone who has been to SWIG will tell you, anyone who is anyone is at SWIG. This place is HOT! If you can sit on the patio and have a cocktail with Hollywood's hottest and the swank of San Antonio, it seems that no wonder it is the best. You feel like are you are truly in a metropolitan city, not an over-sized town. The martinis are the best in TEXAS, possibly the USA. I give a huge thumbs-up to SWIG crew, AMAZING DIGS. Pros + Hot Celebrities, Great Martinis, Amazing Service Cons - Crappy Music upstairs, Line to get in http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Great place to relax and sip on some very good drinks. The Editor Review is about right on. The crowd is what you make of it. If you are a beer guzzler.....not your place. Pros + atmosphere, drinks http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html The clientel aren't your normal person, but rather yuppies who believe they are better then everyone else outside of their little group in that bar. So not exactly a shirt and jeans locations. However, a few of the servers are exeptional in their drink mixing and customer service capability. But the crowd makes the bar, and the crowd here is non to plesent. Pros + well mixed drinks, good service Cons - crowded, stuck up clientel http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html They have the best of everthing. Its a local hang out. Its close to the river walk but not on the river which makes it good for the locals downtown. The have great snacks and drinks. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Swigs is overrated. Full of obnoxious stuck up people and the service is lacking. Prices are way too high especially for a simple beer! Then again, if you have lots of money and like to while away your time with lots of plastic people who follow the most current trend then Swigs is your place along with all the other skanky bars along the riverwalk. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Great Place to hang out and meet people any day of the week. Great drinks, good people, and directly on the Riverwalk. Pros + On the Riverwalk, Best Martini EVER, Great Live Band http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html I really enjoyed this place, but the waitstaff did not do much socializing. I realize they have a job to do, but the mechanized statements were a little boring. Try to get the waitstaff to be a little friendlier and accomodaing, but I will be back to check it out again. Pros + relaxing atmosphere Cons - expensive http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html This bar is the love of my life. I am in love with the bartender Chris. I have been frequenting this place for about three years. I am a college graduate and I love how nice everyone is. They don't discriminate about your age, and that is refreshing. If you are college age you still get treated with respect. If you are in college and beautiful you are treated like a goddess for the night!!!! I love it. The jazz is great, where did the singer go....she was great Pros + beautiful people, great service, great for a group Cons - crowded, expensive, jazz can be too loud http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html They serve my favorite Vodka, UV! The service is supurb and the cocktails are devine! The atmosphere is upscale and beyond trendy, it is a true cocktail lounge. If you are looking for beautiful people this is the place. http://www.yellowbot.com/swig-san-antonio-tx.html Great place to relax and sip on some very good drinks.
