What diners say — our read

4.5 stars across 15 reviews, an A on the inspection — a rare case where both halves agree. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

Of the 15 rated reviews, 13 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. Dates on these reviews range from Apr 2024 to Nov 2025. No one in this corpus comments on speed of service at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (10 of 15).

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (95/100), with 5 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. The visit behind that grade was March 10, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 61% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    If I could give 10 stars for Brooke the bartender, I would. It wasn’t packed and she kept the party jumping. She rocks!!!

    Barstaff were great

    I was double charged. I was told when i opened my tab that it was just a hold but when they closed my tab they charged my a second time and then a 3rd im guessing for gratuity. And the fact that they post a phone number that cant be used makes everything thing seem a bit scam-ish. I had 2 shots and 2 beers and ended up paying almost $80. That is outrageous!

    Really cool ppls

    No food here. More chill to drink and hang but with music. They have a dj. Sometimes they have switch games up to play, too.

    Very welcoming environment. Staff is fantastic.

  • January 18, 2025

    Orlando loves a good dive bar and Swiggs is a great place to meet friends old, or new. The service was sweet and it was so unique to see this weird Vending Machine of Mystery! What a fun place to be! We had a great time!

    Didn’t have any food here. Inside is kind of weird to get around with a lot Of different kind of seating and unusual characters. They made decent drinks and lots of people enjoyed their time. I didn’t like the vibe so much. Perhaps on the younger side for me. Back room was kinda weird with no bar and no music but the bathrooms were through the back. Not a place I’d like to return to but not terrible

    Dope staff & Drinks are A1

    Swiggs is my favorite bar to go downtown Orlando! The staff is amazing and the Dj always have the vibes going.
