Korean BBQ food truck tonight was really good. Some special seasonal beers on tap that we had to try. Super fast service. Fantastic and fun live music bingo. read more

We were exploring downtown Lakeland, and found ourselves in walking distance of this brewery. We arrived around 1230 on Veterans Day, and were surprised to see that it was fairly busy having just opened for the day. We were able to grab a couple of stools at the bar, but there is plenty of seating, both indoor and outside. Bartenders were very friendly and I opted to start with the #Freedom, which is a light ale. My husband opted for a mix of their red ale and the #Freedom. Basically, they created a Yuengling for him. They have a large selection of beers to choose from, and everybody from the bartenders to the manager to the brew masters are incredibly friendly. read more

The beer is superb with pristine taste!. And i love establishment, the staffs and the pets friendly policy.

Great beer selection, food trucks (we enjoyed the Korean), and trivia some nights! The appetizers were a hit!

Came here as a stop over before heading all the way back home in Central Florida. Beer selection is great and the employees are so friendly. They let you have unlimited samples until you find the one you want. Health care heroes get 20% off the bill! How awesome! read more

4.0* (out of 5) Food: n/a Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 4* 09/30/2023 Saw this on the way to lunch with our son after touring his latest jobsite, so had to stop for a flight on the way home. A solid brewery with a good selection of beers to satisfy most tastes. Looks like a great stop to enjoy live music also, although it wasn't yet happening when we were there.

Great selection of beers and the food truck "Boy Named Sous" was excellent! We tried a beer sampler and then chose a pint. Pork Schnitzel sandwich was excellent! read more

Great experience, great views, very nice people who work there and the clientele was a good crowd. For larger events standing in line 20 people deep to get a beer is absolutely negative. I would give it five stars if not for the long lines to get a beer. There are no waitresses who will come out and wait on you you must get in line. read more

We have been here a hundred times and we always have a great experience here. The staff are always on point with good suggestions and quick service. The ambiance is casual and laid back. The food trucks here are also always great. Tonight we had Filipino food that was super tasty. We always have a great experience here. read more

Swan Brewery has a variety of beers, ciders, wines and mixes of the above. The drink menu changes with the season so you can expect something new almost on every visit. If not with the drinks, definitely with the food as they have a different food truck every day so make sure you check their Instagram page to see who will be there before you go. They have inside and outside seating under a canopy and they're conveniently located across one of the many lakes here in Lakeland. This lake has a walking path so if you go on a Tuesday, a local running group is there and that evening you can play a round of music bingo where you can win some fun prizes, including a Crowler! Friendly, outgoing staff makes this easily one of my favorite hangouts to go too after work. Grab a drink, sit outside and watch the sunset over the lake to call it a day. Again, make sure to follow their Instagram page for more information! read more

I really enjoy going to Swan Brewing for a quick beer, trivia night, or for a simple date night (although I have yet to try one of the food trucks). The beer selections are very good, and I love the blended options of beer and wine/ champagne (beermosa or similar to this). It may not necessarily be my favorite brewery in Lakeland - I like more unique local options- however, I always look forward to going for an enjoyable evening. It's also a bonus that the staff is friendly, and the picnic tables are an awesome touch! read more

This is one of my favorite breweries. They have great indoor seating and even more outdoor seating under tents. It has an industrial ambiance. The bar tenders are always helpful and friendly. Their beers are outstanding. The Downtown Brown is my all time favorite hazelnut beer. My only complaint is that they are not closer to my home in west Tampa. I can't wait to come back again soon! read more

We did a quick search for a brewery in Lakeland and boy am I glad that Swan Brewing popped up first! The space is so nice and great to hang out in and the beer was delicious. The bartenders were so nice and helpful. They had great seating options inside and outside as well. On our next trip to Lakeland Swan Brewing will be high on our list!! read more

My husband and I stopped by Swan Brewing one Saturday evening on our way to the Strawberry Festival. Swan Brewing is located right across from the Lake and there is plenty of covered outdoor seating. However, we decided to sit inside at the bar as it was a bit windy outside. Service - A+. We were immediately greeted by the staff and had superior service the entire stay. Beer - A. I ordered a flight and enjoyed all my selections. I always order a flight when at a brewery. I love trying as many options as possible. They had a food truck outside but we had later plans to eat. I will be back when I am in the area and I highly suggest if you are in the area that you make a stop at Swan Brewing. read more

This was my first time at Swan Brewing. They were the venue for a bike building event for the Local Boys and Girls club. Had a great time building the bikes and of course enjoyed a drink or two. The peach cider was just what I needed to cool off. The place was packed but the staff was fast and friendly. They had great live music outside. I only mark it down one star because I feel like places that serve alcohol should always have water accessible for patrons, which they did not. Other than that I loved this Brewery and will definitely be back in the future when I visit Lakeland. read more

I travel all over the state of Florida and I just happened to be at the post office in downtown Lakeland and spotted this place across the street. I had my dog with me so I checked and they are DOG FRIENDLY. I immediately parked and went to see what it is all about. They have a very generous outside area with picnic tables and rotating food trucks. They also have regular live music. They are not only dog friendly but they are REALLY dog friendly. My sweet pup made the rounds with most of the patrons and the bar staff showering her with lots of attention and taking pictures. (YES she is a show stealer and will do almost anything for a belly rub). I tried the red ale first. The patrons at the bar were super friendly and chatty. They encouraged me that I would be fine with my dog inside so that is what I chose. I travel alone a LOT so socializing with friendly people is a big treat. The red ale was very good. They have fairly good wifi so I was able to work easily. They have a really nice nostalgic decor, industrial with some really fun touches. The food truck smelled AMAZING! They had a solo guitar player working a set from the 70's which was very solid. Staff was very friendly and they might benefit from a server out by the picnic tables as the line at the bar got quite long. read more

This is a great spot to grab a beer in downtown Lakeland. My Airbnb host recommended it for the view of the sunset. The beer is also really good. I'm really enjoying their Straight Outta Lakeland IPA which I was told is the top seller. And yes, there is a great view of the sunset over the small lake next to Swan. read more

Pretty interesting place....they have about 50% of their beer menu consisting of beer they brew in house. The other is "guest " beer. I tried two different t IPAs, #1 is pretty fantastic.. read more

I really like swan but the music is too loud. This is not a music hall. The live music is great but make it so people can sit outside and and enjoy conversation at the same time as the music. Invest in a sound system that spreads the music appropriately. I love screaming at the person right next to me when I'm sitting at furthest possible distance from the speakers. read more

Some good brewing here. The brewery and taproom have a nice view of the lake and there is live music here on the weekends. It is a bit loud, but that is how live music usually is. I had the Napoleon Bonaparte sour and a cider they had on guest tap. Service was sufficient and the facilities were very nice. They are dog friendly, too! Parking is a bit tough here, but the post office is next door and I doubt they'll tow during the night and weekends after the post office is closed. read more

I wasn't there long but while I was there the employees were polite, friendly, and helpful. They have bar seating, some tables and high tops, outdoor seating, and even corn hole. *would return* read more

Who doesn't love a nice drink and live music? I have heard tons about Swan Brewing before finally visiting on a Thursday night. By the way, when ordering on Thursday ask for BOGO!!! It did not disappoint. (plus it was only $8, with tip, for two beers). They have over 30 beers to choose from. Anything from stouts, ciders, wheat, ales. etc. I personally enjoyed the environment and aesthetic of the location! It has a hometown feel--- with the outdoor seating and lighting, background music, and plenty of conversations. Between choosing to sit inside or outside, there was plenty of room for my whole party to sit together. I would recommend anyone going on a first date, meeting up with old friends, or just wanting a cheap drink to try out Swans. Not to mention the food truck parked outside with delicious quesadillas!! I am a huge beer person, so any time my friends want to get one I am always the first to go. Let me just say, you might see me frequenting Swans from now on!! read more

Always a great time at Swan! Whether you're here during the week for Music Bingo, Trivia, or BOGO Thursday, you'll love the atmosphere. The food trucks and live music leave memories in your mind. Bartenders are quick and great to talk to! Definitely check it out. read more

This spot is always a go-to for us because of the outdoor seating and craft beer. There are not many bars like that in Lakeland. If you get hungry they have a visiting food truck most of the time and they rarely repeat them. We also recently went to the food truck rally and brought our own food in - I prefer this business model because you aren't restricted to the options they have. The live music is always different - not just one genre. They do a really good job of keeping it fresh. Highly recommend signing up for their text alerts. You get deals and whatnot. The reason it's not 4 stars is because sometimes the line at the bar is loooooong. I've seen some breweries do different things with QR codes and mobile ordering and paying and that could probably be a solution instead of the like being so long. They often only have two bartenders working. Also finally - they did a good job during covid with keeping customers safe. I remember I voiced some concerns and the brewery owner contacted me! Like the best customer service you can get. I think they've maximized their outdoor seating but I wish they'd add more because some of the older crowd posts up for like 8 hours at a time. read more

We tried 5 beers and they were all excellent. They are listed by a number so you just tell them the number. You can get small tasters or pints. Yum. We went on a Sunday afternoon after a nice walk around lake Hollingsworth. They had live music outside and a food truck. Food was good, French fries were hot and the brisket grilled cheese was good. The meat was a little skimpy but the taste was good. All prices were very reasonable. Definitely worth the visit. read more

This place is a solid brewery. Many, many different types of brews and beers that can be combined with their other beers for a dynamic tasting experience. Cliff Claven is my go to beer. Always cold and consistent. My girl likes the coffee flavored beers just as much. The food trucks are always busy and there if you want a meal or a snack. My favorite event was the Punk Flea Market. Really fun time with a huge variety of hand made goods. Finally, the place is dog friendly and we always get a good dog fix when we're there on the weekends. Tents cover the lawn so you're not in full sun the whole time. Makes for a great gathering place as well. read more

This was our first time checking out Swan Brewing and we loved it. We decided to check Swan Brewing out since they were dog friendly and we wanted to take our recently adopted dog with us. Our first beer was enjoyed outside in the big tent they have set up. There are several picnic tables set up outside, which are spaced apart. We headed inside to order and enjoy our second beer. We loved the variety of beers they offer and the vibe. This is a very nice laid back place with some great brews. We look forward to returning very soon. Pets are welcome. There was a food truck on-site while we were there and it appears they typically have on there. read more

1st I just visited the Swan in South Lakeland last week and although it's a small hole in the wall place I loved it. The bartender was very knowledgeable and gave great service. So I had to try the Swan downtown. Came on a Thursday late afternoon. Friendly bartender and as always great beer. Sat outside which has ample seating and a food truck was set up outside. Nice music playing playing and great view of lake wire. Looks like a great place for a gathering. Sure to come back. read more
