SUMMER. COCKTAIL. MENU. IS. HERE.

The owners locked us in the bar and forced us to play Step Mania X until we finished this menu. They said the sweat would get the creative juices flowing or something, and I guess they were right.

Every single drink has been made with lots of love, hard work, and dedication— just for y’all. They’re fun, they’re fresh, they’re tasty, and they’re ready to be drank up.

Not only are there 6 new cocktails to try, there are 4 new delicious MOCKTAILS too. Something for everybody, all summer long for your boozy (or not) enjoyment.

SEE YOU SOON.

I remember this one time, right as I'm finishing painting up this swillburger mural/sign. One of the construction workers comes up, stares at the sign for 45 seconds, proceeds to say "SWALLSWORTH, I LIKE IT." I'll never forget that.

This week, only at swillburger.

ELOTE BURGERS.

PROVOLONE CHEESESTEAKS.

GARBAGE PLATE TOTS.

Don't mind me, just admiring this old building that has housed us this last decade. Still standing.

Getting pickled everything. Crispy chicken w/ pickles and some sort of pickle dip tots with creamy pickle dip, cotija and minced pickles.

Keep the pickles out of the shakes, stick with the classic thin mints. I helped one troop reach new heights by ordering 3 cases of thin mints.

Our fryers are always gluten free FYI please inform your celiac people that they can feel at home here.

Please enjoy yourself this week.

Valentine's is here yeehaw and I know just what will "turn up the heat." It's pepperoni chicken sandwiches with mozz and pepperoni infused ranch. If that doesn't "rev their engines" then there's no hope left for the relationship.

Perfectly paired with chicken....

BOGO romance special drinks today til weeks end. Slide two has all the pertinent info. Bar is putting out some amazing drinks right now, great job to all involved. Bring a partner, be advised the BOGO is just for the two romance special drinks, but u won't be disappointed.

Pinball never goes out of style and slide 4 is a fun shirt made a while back.

Trivia tonight!

Chef Liam has graced us with a cauliflower burger sandwich. Avo-pistachio green magic, guajillo vegan mayo, etc.

Tots and fries have the aforementioned guajillo mayo, grilled peppers and onions, ala Applebee's fajitas circa 1998.

These specials will stick around for the rest of February.

on the bathroom refresh, sure to be great for toilet selfies.

Went to last night with the squad, the team lost but at least I managed to have a good time.

All in all, a very positive start to the week.
