Swig

Swig is the oldest bar in the Bourbon & Branch portfolio, but worth another look thanks to a revamped interior, new emphasis on classic cocktails , and a deep whiskey selection that's one of the best.

Cool spot to swing to a old r&b singer that has the voice of aretha & the garb of a queen bothswana... She's been singing there for 18 yrs, while all the best local dancers play musical chairs partner

Leather couches , exposed brick walls, serious drinks and and an impressive fireplace are all Swig's calling cards, and that's really enough reasons to go. Read more

Probably the best music I've heard in a bar in the US. The Roots, Talib Kweli and Lauryn Hill - all amazing!

I like this place, good for dancing , nice bartenders , decent drinks. Good for mingling and meeting new people.

Great find. Sit in the window for good people watching .

Best Guinness by far I've found in San Francisco since moving from Dublin 4 months ago

Beautiful decor, very comfy , drinks are stiff and a mysterious vibe, that even the doorman hasn't been able to figure out.

They've got a fireplace ...And great drinks. Need I say more? ????????

If you're downtown and looking to really get your drink on, then head to Swig during happy hour for discounted beers and other drink specials . Read more

Just enjoy your drink and who knows, the room may start dancing around/with you.

Check pout the specialty drinks on the board above the bar . Unique and worth trying.

Get the cucumber/strawberry fizz or dark n stormy . Amazing DJ on Saturday night

I just love this place my favorite bar in San Fran

Loved the concept, and the menu is decent

When it isn't crowded this is great. Get a spice trader with gin .

Great live music on Thursday nights at 9pm!

Never a cover and brought to us by the people at bourbon and branch. This place is another hit. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Small cocktails venues but strong flavours and the vibe is good.

Strawberry cucumber drank for $9! We subbed the gin for vodka and it's delish!

Great place for country music . Heard my old friend John Degarmo sing "Folsom Prison " by Johnny Cash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T-kM6DLnko

drink, drink, drink, drink, then dance , dance , dance the rest is history!

good cockatails if you can distract yourself from the drunk/garish crowd

Solid whiskey selection , but the crowd is hit or miss. BYOG (bring your own group)

Great place to chill early evening and listen to a good (think Outkast) top 40 mix.

I love the lighting & atmosphere, service could be better

Cocktails were great

Good music w plenty of throwbacks but too many creepers towards the end of the night

Turns into a night club ; Hence the open space .

Monday is salsa night and they play goooooood music for those who wants a Latin heat.

Get a Sazerac ! Well made here.

Go to Swig on a sunday night for an awesome blues jam , and check out the great dancers that turn up there. Dance with one and don't forget to tip the band.

Very stylish spot. 250 whiskey selections . Fireplace and couches .

Ask Caroline to make a Mojito for you. She makes the best mojito in the town . tell her Ash recommended :)

Boriiiiiiinnnnngggggg but cute bar tenders

Come in on Monday nights for Latin music and hot babes.

Mid size one floor w/second fl reserved for vip. Drinks are low priced but also low quality. No cover but the bouncers make you wait to raise the hype. Not alot of dance … (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

for late night drinks, this place gets hoppin'

Spice trader is Awesome! !

best pick out of 3 bars i visited

You'll want a Corpse Reviver

Make sure you bring ear plugs.

Apparently the shots here are doubles. Oh tequila .

Great music

Douchebags unite!

Ordered a gin and tonic and it literally tasted and smelled like urine

If you like waiting for 20 minutes for a drink, come here!

Lol 30-something women who are still single and not successful either obviously. Avoid this place unless theres no room in bourbon&branch and tradition. Lololol

Hit it up on Sunday's. The door guy is amazing.

No double drinks. No long islands . This place must be trouble.
