    We were staying in the downtown historic Brunswick area and I was looking for a place to watch Monday Night Football. Tipsy McSway's is open until 10 PM and the kitchen stops taking orders at 9 PM. After looking over the menu, I decided to try the Brunswick stack sandwich. I had hoped to try the tomato bisque soup as my side, but unfortunately, they only serve chili, not soup, on Mondays. So instead, I ordered the fried potato salad as my side, and it was surprisingly delicious. It comes with small diced potatoes in a warm savory mustard sauce. When I originally asked the bartender what he recommended, he mentioned the Brunswick stack sandwich as well as the smash burgers. While the sandwich was good, I would probably try one of the burgers next time. Nevertheless, I would definitely get the fried potato salad again. The next time I'm in the area, I would definitely consider returning to Tipsy McSway's and I would recommend it to others as well. Cheers

    Green goddess sandwich with onion rings

    Ordered the Green Goddess sandwich with a side of onion rings and split it with my husband. It was very good! Loved the garlic aioli. The onion rings were good but would've been better if they were hot. There was live music and the place was very busy. Our server was great!

    The best onion rings I've ever eaten. I got the salad w blackened chicken and my husband got the melt beef sandwich. Food, service and atmosphere was 10/10!

    The food was very good and reasonably priced. They had live music, which is always a plus. Service was rushed and felt fake-friendly. You have to pass the kitchen and janitorial supplies to get to the bathroom which is unpleasant. Parking was easy to find on the street but you will need to walk a couple blocks, especially when crowded. In the future I'd prefer to do takeout for the good food and skip the dine-in. The dining room is small, tables were uncomfortable and everyone was looking at everyone else, which was weird. There is no focal place to rest your gaze. The stage is very undefined and unasthetic, and the bar is boring. The purple and green lights everywhere were not relaxing, such that I felt like I was in a haunted house! The cutesy cartoons and tongue-in-cheek "humor" on the menu is super lame. After dealing with sick narcissists in my life (who use innuendo in place of healthy communication because it's part of their manipulation), double-meaning of any kind is just toxic, not clever. And the wannabe-sexy cartoons are Epstein-creepy! Food made with love, decent band, but ambiance, service, and menu lore were awkward and not worth revisiting.

    Grilled cheese and garlic tomato soup

    So - IESS headed to a retirement party at a brew pub in old town Brunswick GA. Of course the the place didn't open til 4pm and I was there at 3pm. So, down the street was Tipay McSway's. Cute little joint in this artsy district of Brunswick. Let me start off with if I was just having drinks this would be a 5 star review. Eric (Erik) was an outstanding bartender and genuinely nice to everyone that came in. He remembered everyone's name, and was very timely on refills. I decided to get a bite to eat, since I hadn't eaten all day. The menu was diverse and had many southern comfort offerings with a twist. I ordered the grilled cheese and soup. The soup which was advertised as a garlic tomato basil and it was tasty but had a tad too much garlic for my tastebuds (and I like garlic!). The grilled cheese, although tasty as I believe the bread was soaked in butter had a very skimpy slice (Maybe a slice and a half) of American cheese. The bread was full and hearty, I would recommend cheese (2-3 slices), tomato, and bacon on that bread. Overall, a friendly place to stop for a afternoon outing. On a side note, looks like they have live music a couple of nights each week... very nice.

Because the restaurant is downtown there is plenty of free street parking spaces right outside the door. There is a bar, with bar seating, The other seating consisted of normal table with hard back chairs, and couches that ran down the side of the wall with tables, and hard back chairs on the other side. Overall, the service was adequate, not good, and certainly not great, but good enough not to stop us from enjoying our night out. I started with what was supposed to be a cup of Tomato Bisque but received and paid for a bowl. Somewhat my fault for not realizing that my serving and what I paid for was large and more expensive than the cup I ordered. With that said, I thought the flavor of the bisque served with, Garlic Buttered Crostini, and grated Smoked Gouda was outstanding. The temperature could have been a bit warmer, but again the flavor was sport on. The wife and I split a very large bowl of PEI Mussels. The Mussels were served in a white wine broth with Shallots, Garlic, Roasted Tomatoes, and Bacon. Honestly, I could and did finish the broth off as a soup. There were quite a few Mussels that did not open, but the bowl was so large, we wouldn't have eaten them anyway. The wife's main dish was the Pan Seared Sea Scallops, with peach and bacon risotto, and fresh Spinach. The dish was finished with an amazing Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction. The scallops were large, the Risotto was great, but the brown butter reduction was the absolute star of the dish. For my main dish I had the Curried Lamb Lollipops, served over Cilantro Basmati Rice, and roasted Tomatoes with an excellent curry sauce. The chops were of good size and cooked to perfection. And please don't even get me started on the fired Garlic Butter Paratha which is some of the best bread I have ever had. My mistake was ordering a side of the Peach and Bacon Risotto similar to what was served with the scallop dish. Without the Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction however, the risotto ate a little dry and had little to no peach flavor. I finished my meal with a bourbon , Mascarpone, bread pudding, which was amazing. The dish was loaded with bourbon which both my wife and I agreed was not completely cooked off. Great dish to finish an outstanding meal. Even with a few minor missteps, the overall flavor of the dishes were so good, I still must give it an overall 5.

Paired well with the soggy tots. *Collard greens, just dull and little flavor, * The BLT had bacon that was inspiring. Bacon is a delicious, this was just chewy cardboard. *The hot dog was a greasy sausage with a bun that wasn't the freshest. Was really disappointed with this item, Overall we had a good time, waitstaff was friendly. Would definitely stop in for a cold beer and chicken strips. The rest was a no for me.
