Editorial Review for Swig – by Greg Melikov
In Short
You won't go thirsty or cigar-less at this lounge that features an awesome array of martinis and the largest humidor on the Riverwalk. The house drink is the Swig (Absolut vodka infused with seasonal fruit, shaken over ice and served straight up). Others include the Goldfinger (Gordon's gin and Noilly Prat vermouth garnished with bocconcini and marinated olives, not stirred) and the St. Valentine (Absolut Peppar and the bar's bloody mary mix garnished with anchovy olives).

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!

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!
