Swingin' Door Exchange

Small, cozy , friendly place with a captivating atmosphere. With the 60's classics playing in the background on a Sunday afternoon, you can't but look out the window, smile and feel good.

Incredible food! Get the vermouth carrots (ridiculously good!) as your side with the patty melt or big KC burger . So much great food: we were stuffed! Quaint & quirky little gem tucked into downtown.

There isn't much to say about true Swingin' Door except that it's awesome. One of the classic MKE establishments with great food and great prices. Enjoy the three can of local suds for $5.

Wine , Mexican hot chocolate pie , Shelly 's tuna salad sandwich , and the beef barley soup are all amazing here. Waiters are so friendly , it does get busy but it is not a long wait .

This place is awesome!!! Don't let the size of the place fool you. The food is GREAT and the staff is incredibly friendly . Hidden treasure of Milwaukee!!

Great brunch menu at a great price! The portion is quite decent and all eggs are served with hash-browns and some fruit ! Awesome service too!

We had breakfast and it was tops!! The southwestern scramble was superb and the corned beef hash was made with freshly shredded corned beef , not cubed stuff.

Very friendly staff and an awesome local spot ! Delicious home made potato chips .

The food here is shockingly good for a place that looks to not have been updated since the 50s. The Marinated Beet salad was my favorite part of the meal.

Wednesday special (5 pm to close) [likely seasonal]: $5 for 1lb of mussels with choice of either garlic and chardonnay sauce, or Thai green curry .

Solid spot for basic food. Brussels sprouts fantastic. Ribs were okay. Good beer selection and friendly staff .

Everything!!!!!!!! Food, Spaten on tap , tall boys, beet salad , best burgers in town . Seared ahi tuna ...

Portions are large, ahi tuna was fresh and cooked perfectly. Hamburgers are tremendous. Service is friendly .

Food was excellent! We had a large party for brunch and everyone's dish was delicious!

The carrots !!! The beets !!! The friendliest bar staff in Wisconsin.

Good food and atmosphere with reasonable prices. Was very disappointed in the inattentive wait staff . Ordered mussels and about 1/4 were served unopened.

Great local place. Burgers and chicken sandwich were both amazing!

Great food and love the saloon atmosphere

When they offer it jump on the delicious cashew Swiss burger the best on this side of lake Michigan

If you come here once, you'll find yourself coming here again and again. Gem of a place.

Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious!

Tuesday tacos are great. This place is legendary.

Great beer list . Try a beer flight !

Definitely have the ahi tuna as well as the onion rings .

Have the carrots and try them on the homemade chips - makes for a tasty combo

This is the meetup after you and your buddies get chased out of the Third Ward by the police .

Cheese plate was amazing and Melissa was an awesome server!

Wow I think the Grilled Russian just became one of my favorite sandwiches !

Try the nightly specials. Unbelievable tuna appetizer

Matt is a great bartender ! Had a blast with him hanging out late at night.

Shelly workin' up the nerve to hit the casino to bet on the 'ponies.

One of the best kept secrets in Milwaukee!

Food is absolutely amazing.

The food! All of it.

Beets are awesome!

Shelly 's tofu and vegetarian southwest scramble are excellent!

Blackened ahi tuna is awesome!

Brunch ! Sat and Sun.

Brewers Tofo is awesome... Spicy vermouth carrots are to die for.

Vermouth carrots FTW!

Daryl is the best bartender in town

They have some good Slavic specialties.

my dad drank here in the late 60's. that's a good enough reason to go.

Get chummy with the bartenders and you'll be amazed at how cheap your tab will be.

Wednesday all you can eat mussels !!!!!

This place is a dream.

Free soup on Sunday!
