Can't believe it's taken me this long to visit this bar. It's been on my list for ages. They are…read morecelebrating 40 years! Had a couple of beers and a pretzel. All very good. Bartenders super personable. Pricing was ok. Vibe is super laidback and the atmosphere is sooooo welcoming and chill. Love the ceiling art too. It's way more spacious than you think just looking from the outside. They also have trivia on Tuesdays. Will DEFINITELY be back.

super glad we came here for some drinks and the free hot dogs before a cubs game! it is a super…read morecute lil joint and has great, cozy neighborhood vibes. the free hot dogs were a HUGE plus! the drinks were also really good and unique- will def be back for those, and also to play some board games. next time we may reserve a table, as most were reserved in advance and we were able to sit for just a bit before the reservations came in. i will say that there is one reason why this place isn't getting 5 stars from me right now and that is solely because one of the bartenders that i interacted with was quite rude. i work in customer service myself and can understand having a bad day but to project it onto customers is just not okay. she was super unfriendly and had a tone when talking to me. i will still come back to this place as it is local and i loved everything else about it but i really didn't appreciate that experience with that one bartender.

If you like an elevated sports bar experience I believe this is the place for you…read more We are very new to the Chicago area and stumbled upon this place while searching for a place to eat before going to the metro for a concert (walking distance). Being the area I made reservations which I can tell you is HIGHLY recommended, if on a game day. I cannot speak for things on a day that's not one but this was and they were booming with a line out the door. We were sat promptly upon arrival and greeted quickly by our server. She was incredibly kind and even seeked information for us regarding parking in the area, thank you! We started with a cocktail and a draft beer, I had the Dovetail on draft and they are very good and local! Appetizer was a bit of a let down, we ordered pretzel bites, which seemed like the ones you buy from Walmart, not fresh at all, queso wasn't bad tho Entrees were on point tho! My rigatoni was cooked perfectly and the bolognese was full of flavor, my wife got her burger and had no complaints on her end. Overall not a bad experience, I would like to try them again on a day that's not a game day in the future and maybe ask for a suggestion on appetizers next time as I feel that one was a complete skip. Til next time!

Made a 6:30 reservation, but thanks to a severe storm rolling through, we waited about 30 minutes…read morefor our table--which honestly was completely understandable. The restaurant and all three bars were packed with people taking refuge from the weather, and Swift Tavern was actually a great place to ride it out before our Mumford & Sons concert. Huge shoutout to our server, Marianne. Even while handling a crazy number of tables, she stayed friendly, professional, efficient, and even kept everyone updated on the weather. The vibe was definitely loud (understandably) and our back-corner table had more of a retro diner feel than the upscale ambiance we expected. Food was solid: the warm bread board was a great starter, the steak salads were good (although the steak consistency varied a bit), and the warm chocolate cookie dessert was tasty--though the soft serve reminded me a little of DQ. Cocktails were strong, but with an $18 espresso martini and a $24 premium dirty martini, you're definitely paying Chicago prices. Overall, we spent about two hours there waiting for the skies to clear, and despite the chaos of the storm, the staff handled an incredibly busy night with grace. Good food, strong drinks, and excellent service when it mattered most.

Have gone many times and it is always a good time. Drinks are fairly priced and it can get crowded…read morebut it still fun. They have a back room for private party type events which was great!

Sheffield's management or bouncer was beyond rude and broke the ada law upon my 5 minute…read moreinteraction with him today. *I have a service + therapy dog with me. He's been certified for 3 yrs* Upon walking up to the establishment with my fiancé and service dog, there was an officer there wearing a badge. He acknowledged how cute Rory (my service dog) was and stated he was a service dog. He then asked if he could pet Rory, I said yes that would be fine with me. Another gentleman, not sure what role he played at the establishment, approached us while the officer was still there. He began questioning me and Rory's legitimacy on being a service dog since he just saw the officer pet him. I informed him that the officer had asked and I said it was ok. He then said "we have a lot of people that pretend their dogs are service dogs to get them in"; I replied I have his badge and the dog trainer's(dog training elite) number to contact her. He allowed us in. Less than a minute latter when my finance, Rory, and I were walking to a table, the bouncer/manager re-approaches us and says we have to leave predicated on the notion I let an officer say hi and pet Rory after the officer had asked. The law allows establishments to only ask 2 questions when it comes to service animals; 1) Is it a legitimate service animal? 2) What service is the service animal providing? I was only asked #1, if Rory was a service animal, I am allowed to give my service animal a break on occasion and I decide who can and can't say hi to him. Have never been discriminated like this in my life. And will never be returning to the facility.
