Want to go to an Irish pub and want to experience what it is like to go to an Irish pub locally? Then go here. Called ahead to make sure they were open since it was a holiday weekend and were greeted like friends and regulars when we arrived. Truly genuine welcome. We ordered the fish and chips and Guiness stew. Both excellent choices. Next time I would like to try the shepherds pie because it's one of the top three most popular ordered dishes. The stew... I do not want to oversell it, the meat was bite sized and tender. The soup had a slight sweet tang. Apparently a recipe that has been perfected over the last decades. Delicious. read more

What's great spot for good food, drinks and service. Right when you walk inside you're greeted with a sense of coziness. Stopped in little after lunch time and surprised to see full bar and few tables. I had coconut with me so we sat outside on the patio. Roadie and Kat are very friendly and welcoming. They provided water dish for coconut. We ordered fried green beans and onion rings for appetizers. The green beans are addicting. I really didn't even need ranch for them. They were tasty on its own. If i see clam chowder it is a must to try. Was not disappointed, ordered ab extra cup Togo for a friend to try it out. The fish n chips just wow. The fish is so flakey and tender. I heard everything here is 99% made from scratch. You can tell the chef is very good. Will be back to visit Kat and Roadie. Even all the patrons are very friendly. Also to get more green beans, clam chowders and try other dishes! read more

There are clearly plenty of regulars at McSwiggan's, and the entire place has a genuinely friendly pub vibe. The bartender provided great service, the prices are very reasonable. While they have a great selection of beer on tap alongside several types of sports playing on the TVs, the food seems a bit more hit-or-miss. While my Irish breakfast portions were ample, both the potatoes and the meat turned out to be pretty salty. My partner also felt that his chicken sandwich and fries were just okay and nothing special. Ultimately, it is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and catch a game, but you might want to keep your expectations modest for the kitchen. read more

Stopped by for a late night bite right before they stopped serving food. Chicken sandwich was great, and I will say - and I'm a bit of a conneseiur - they made a GREAT Old Fashioned and had a great selection of hand-picked bourbons. read more

McSwiggans is a great little dive bar with fantastic food. The Rueben specifically was amazing. All the bartenders are great and friendly as well (Kat, Roadie, Lindsey, etc.) definitely a spot to check out if you're looking for something chill read more

5 stars for the food and 5 stars for Roady! Our program for adults with special needs has established a tradition of visiting each year for St. Patrick's Day! Year after year, more students sign up after hearing great things about the delicious food and kind waiters. Our staff fight over who gets to attend the trip! read more

This place is one of my favorites. I'm not biased just cause live like 30 steps from it but the food is pretty cheap for what you get and it honestly taste good. Usually I can't find a place with good Guinness but McSwiggans always has it available. The service is great and if you're looking for a place to just chill and hang out with friends, this is an awesome place to go. They even have an outdoor spot where you can bring your dogs! read more

This was like buried treasure for St. Patrick's day weekend. I couldn't find any specials or information online while we were en route but went anyways. It's was crowded but not too bad. They have standing areas with a ledge and after about 45 min we got seats at the bar. We got the Reuben and it was good and the fries were perfect and crunchy. read more

Walked in, stood at the front for 5 minutes to get a table.. walked out because there was no acknowledgment from a staff member.

Tried to go and sit on their patio but there was no waitress or waiter. One guy was bartending and serving food.

Look at it... would you JUST look at IT. Delicious. And the wings are dope too. Just come on over take a small hit , have a beer and enjoy some delicious foods. read more

It was me and my friend's first time here. Ashley was amazing tonight! She was very attentive and had friendly personable service! Thank you Ashley! Will be back just because of her! read more

I usually don't like bar food but this place was surprisingly a culinary delight! The chicken tenders were very good as well as the fish and chips (I don't even like fish!). Highly recommend those two items! Shepherd's pie comes out steaming hot so be careful! But wonderful as well! You could tell they probably need to hire more people to take orders but you know what, just give the damn bartender a promotion, he was giving 300% that night when we came!!! Best bartender I've ever seen, he ran the entire place himself! He was taking orders for food, cleaning tables, orders for drinks and making them, waitering the guests, bouncing all over the place! So if you come here, please give a fat tip to the bartender! And be prepared to be patient. read more

Need to get a new filter system for the kitchen. You will leave here with your clothes and hair smelling of fried food.

This is another one of the Austin Ranch community's bar. After going to the bar next door my husband still wanted to have another beer so I suggested we take a look at this pub. It was a good choice! The bartender was super attentive and quickly got my husband a beer. We finished our drinks on the patio with our dog. It was almost 12$ for a beer and Shirley temple which is a little steep but I would definitely come back if I want to relax and have a drink or 2. If you live in the area this is another place you can visit to get drinks. read more

Every time I come here, the staff is great! The food is top notch. My favorite is the Ruben with extra sauerkraut! There are a ton of regulars here, which tells me they're doing something right. Everyone I see here seems to having a great time, laid back, no drama. Lots of people just GENUINELY having a good time. It can get a little busy here and there, but it's always a great experience! read more

I stopped in to check out the local Irish pub... their selection of beers was really varied. My friend treated me to a late lunch and not super hungry. I ordered the Onion rings since they boasted they are house made! My co-diners said that he loves to get the Guinness stew. Gotta try that sometime. Sounded good They did not disappoint at all! Delicious. I must add that I was uber impressed that the bartender made sure a young woman had a safe ride home after overindulging a bit. Hats off to McSwiggan's. You blew me away on all accounts. I can hardly wait to get the fish & chips as they smelled amazing . read more

Very small hangout for the local Gen Z's. Decent bar but very little Irish food. Waitress thought a Rueben sandwich was Irish. What food we had was greasy. Many better Irish pubs in DFW. read more

I recently moved into the apartment complex across the street and I love walking over to this bar with friends for a drink. Very cozy atmosphere and great staff! read more

"Ashley" if that's her name was so rude. "If you're going to come out tip your bartender" Oh I would-- I was a server and know that timely service is of utmost importance. You were so late and disrespectful. She does not deserve to treat PAYING customers like that. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! DO NOT COME!!! As soon as we got the drinks she insulted us. This is unacceptable. read more

the quintessential neighborhood watering hole. the best bar food in the area. the best bartenders I've ever met. Ashley is an absolute rockstar. it's always a good day to go to swigs read more

Food is fantastic & vibes are great. Always have good service here, and the pricing is quite reasonable too

Family Lunch, this month is Ireland. My family is Irish so this was a fun place for us to gather. This is a cute little place tucked away in a strip mall. It was smaller than I expected, but very authentic looking. There seemed to be only one guy serving tables and tending the bar and while it wasn't packed he was busier than a one armed paper hanger. His service was great considering he seemed overwhelmed. The food was good, I have never had fried green beans, not sure if that is a typical Irish appetizer, but they were unique and very tasty. I was craving some fish and chips and the reviews were good so my daughter and I ordered them. We both found them a bit greasy but hey, it's fried fish. The chips (french fries) we incredible, very crisp and extra tasty. It seemed like there was some sort of batter on them. My son got the Ruben sandwich, he said it was good, son in law got the Shepard's pie. He said it was good but the dish it came in was very shallow and seemed to be mostly mashed potatoes. We loved the atmosphere and enjoyed the food in spite of the poor guy trying to hold down the fort on his own. read more

We love McSwiggan's! The vibe is always amazing and Ashley is fantastic!! She is always so bubbly and is constantly running around making sure everyone is taken care of! We will be back! read more

I love this bar. Local, great service (ask for Ashley!), diverse/ amazing menu, great pub experience. Come out for Saint Patrick's Day or catch one of their crazy busy Friday nights- either way you're sure to have a great time. read more

I liked this place more than I thought I would! We went later than you'd normally eat dinner (9 PM), but they serve food late so that wasn't a problem. It was a little confusing as it seemed like one bar tender basically ran the show, which seemed odd on a Saturday night that there wasn't much additional help, but we ordered our food and drinks through him at the bar where a crowd of regulars hung out. They had my favorite Belgian beer so I ordered that and the shepherds pie. The pie was so good! Good flavor and portion size, especially for the price. For a dive bar type vibe, the food is good (my friends got chicken tenders and fish and chips and liked those too!). read more

Roady and Kat are the bees knees. Best in the business. Foods great community is better and beer is best.

Went for St Paddy's day. Good crowd. Was able to get a table. Nice beer selection on draft and food was good too. Look forward to visiting again to watch Arsenal matches. read more

What a H@ll Hole! Murder music and smelled like @ss! Don't do it! I'm sorry I stayed for one drink. Lame excuse for an Irish establishment.

I love it here hehe Good music, great food, awesome atmosphere. You're gonna smell like a chicken tender when you leave (small kitchen) but it's worth it read more

I really don't enjoy sharing low stars but I had been wanting fish and chips and this Irish pub came up highly recommended. Unfortunately I never got to order any fish and chips. My friend and I sat for awhile and never saw any servers. I walked to the bar and asked if we can order and the bartender told us she would be right at our table to take our order so we waited some more. Then my friend then went to ask if could place an order and got the same response. I will say that when we walked in we saw people eating and it looked good and two bartenders having a good time with a group of guys at the bar. So I guess no fish and chips for me. read more
