The kitchen had closed since it was late but next time I'll definitely try the food.

Drinks were fantastic, the desert lights was a lovely mix of bourbon and elderflower that wasn't too sweet and had a lot of depth of flavor. The bartenders were super friendly and chatty, the interior was really unique and feminine in a way bars usually aren't allowed to be! No one was on the dance floor but we also went pretty early in the night. Love loved it, would definitely come back again. Maybe in the spring because they have a sick back patio.

A Solid Bed-Stuy Stop for Bites, Drinks & Sports!…read more After hitting a few street festivals around Brooklyn, we needed a quick bite before heading to another bar later that night, so we stopped at The Swan in Bed-Stuy. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, so unfortunately we couldn't snag one of the larger tables and had to settle for a high-top near the bar. Let me tell you -- those tables are SMALL for three people, especially once the food and drinks start arriving. We made it work though! For food, we ordered two rounds of the chicken bites -- one with sweet chili sauce and the other lemon pepper. The sweet chili was definitely the winner! The lemon pepper was a little bland for us, so we asked for some sweet chili sauce to add on top and that did the trick. One person in our group ordered a pretzel, while I kept it light with a side salad. There was a little bit of everything happening drink-wise at our table -- beer, espresso martinis, and I went with a Paper Plane since we'd already been drinking dark liquor earlier in the day. My first one was way too citrusy, but our server was so kind and accommodating when I mentioned it. He immediately offered to have it remade, and the second one was MUCH better! I really appreciated how he handled it. The Swan is also deceivingly large! From the outside, I expected it to be a pretty small neighborhood bar, but there's actually a lot of space inside. It's not fancy by any means, but it's definitely one of the nicer sports bars I've been to. The lights are dim, giving it a cool, moody vibe rather than the super-bright sports bar atmosphere.

Got the burger, salmon, and a small wrap. The salmon was cooked pretty nicely. I just wish it was bigger. It felt like it was barely bigger than a popsicle stick. The shiraz salad just kinda plain with a bit of citrus juice. Saffron rice was also pretty plain . Just white rice with a small bit of saffron rice on top. It tasted buttery but had a slight funk/stink to it like it was sitting near the trash for too long. I did enjoy the fries though;they were pretty good. Nice crispy and tasty. It tasted good like kettle chips Unfortunately I was very let down by the burger. The burger was very plain. The beef tastes unseasoned and the bun was standard. Service was a bit slow.

I wish the food menu was a little more extensive, would have loved some fries or something. I'd come back to try the cocktails, that menu looked good.
