Swingers

Viva Burt Reynolds!

Review Rating
Swingers is where the 1970's live and rule. The staff is dressed like auto mechanics wearing uniforms with the Swingers logo, which is based on a race car. It's basically a diner with some healthy and tasty food. It's the kind of place to show up for a relaxing breakfast or some food after hitting a few bars. The menu is filled with a collage of 1970's icons. There is a counter if you just want to get a breakfast or a burger. Swingers is part of the Beverly Motor Lodge, but it is totally open to the public. Downsides: Swingers heyday was around 1993 and they have really slow pitiful service. Even if the paint is drying for breakfast, don't count on timely service--meaning a wait until they feel ready to serve you. There is a lot of street parking.

Business Description from the Web

Set foot in here and you've entered the pop zone. From the decor to the clientele, Swingers is one diner that is an eyeful. The first thing you'll notice is Warhol's pink cow head wallpaper and plaid booths. Deciding what to eat is difficult when it's laid out on a menu that features brightly colored, pop-culture icon graphics. But your hunger is sure to be satisfied by the wide selections of... more

Tartan plaid booth seating and Andy Warhol-inspired cows set the scene at this diner which serves California influenced, traditional diner items, such as fruit juice enriched shakes and grilled cheese with avocado.

For better or for worse, Swingers has become an L.A. institution. Andy Warhol-inspired wallpaper (cows, not cans), tartan-plaid booths and waitresses in fishnets epitomize L.A.'s retro diner scene where vintage-clothed screenwriters hang. The elaborately illustrated menu includes grilled cheese stuffed with sharp cheddar and avocado, milk shakes enriched with fruit juice, and salads topped with... more

While "B" stars are frequent patrons, it's not kosher to approach them, so curb your celeb-happy, out-of-town guests or you'll get dirty looks.

West Hollywood diner with Warhol wallpaper, late-night scenesters and a cooler-than-thou vibe.

Once upon a time hipster was barely a word. But Swingers knew. Swingers had foresight. Now, retro-fied diner still considered hot. Sexy little servers, sexy little uniforms. Get the milkshakes, get the grilled cheese with avocado: look like a regular. The decor doesn't change, still seems cool. Animals and plaid and pleather. And flannel is cool again. Bust out the "I don't care, I'm just... more

Resurrected from a motel coffee shop, Swingers was transformed by a couple of L.A. hipster nightclub owners into a 1990s version of comfy Americana. The interior seems like a slice of the 1950s until you notice the plaid upholstery and Warhol-esque graphics, which contrast nicely with the retro red-white-and-blue Swingers logo adorning everything. Guests at the attached Beverly Laurel Motor... more

I absolutely love this restaurant. It satisfies any hunger you may have...whatever you are craving at what ever time of the day. You may have the urge to eat a PBJ sandwich or a large matzo ball soup, Swingers has it readiyl available. The service is fast & friendly, although sometimes late night it can be quite a line. The staff is always friendly and attentive to its customers. The restaurant... more

The service in this restaurant has declined to the point where it is worst than a fast food drive thru. I have had breakfast at this restaurant 3x in a two month span. Each time it has taken them a minimum of 10 minutes for someone to take a drink order. Once you order your drinks you have to wait at least 10 more minutes to receive them. And then you can count on your food order arriving... more

Swingers is pretty much my (and most of my friends) default eatery in L.A. Great food, great music, great staff and great service! What isn't to love?
