Swagger Lounge & Bar

Yeah! The popcorn, sausages and meatballs were gone by then. Anyway, you’ve got to be cool, friendly to understand this place. I love it!!!

Reading some of these reviews, I see the point of a bar (especially Swagger) is lost on you.
If you want a huge space to do activities in, I would suggest Dave&Busters or Buffalo Wild Wings.
This is a small, neighborhood bar. Purpose is to come in, have some drinks, listen to music, socialize a bit, possibly eat something, then go home.
If there isn’t a Dj playing, there is a band playing.
Small patio are for the smokers and most of the time there is a guy selling hookahs.
Just want to relax, meet some people, place to go.
Older crowd but don’t let that stop you.

Aiight — so why am I rating this higher than most other folk? Because you have to realize what Swagger is for and why you should go there. Swagger is not a dance club. Swagger is not a cigar bar. Swagger is not a nice, lovely Cheers type get to know you place. What is Swagger you ask then? Swagger is a drink your azz off, watch some fool dance on the bar and eye ball someone to get laid for the night type spot — and for that it’s AWESOME! LMAO. If you come here expecting anything more, you’ve overshot your expectations and you’ll want your stars back. I’ve been to this place a few times and always land a few #s (no, not the one nighter girl but it’s fun to play), the drinks are good and the music is fun but you will NOT be dancing — there is NO ROOM!!! This place is one big hallway — and ladies, do yourself a favor and ration your drinking… the bathroom is not even Olympic luge over the pot friendly. :-)

In & out. Packed to the brim. There was barely any space to move. If you’re looking for a quaint location where space is limited, then you’ve found the right location! Music was good, but they lost a lot of points for lack of mobility. Clearly they do well, but I can’t… I’ll try again one day.

This place has the atmosphere and feel of a neighborhood lounge. Outdoor patio and a long shotgun interior. I like that the bar runs almost the entire length of the place. 4 star
The DJ was on point (I went on a Saturday). Just the right old/​new mix to keep everyone moving. There was no room to dance as the house was packed until closing. 5 star
The drinks. Sigh. The young lady that made my first drink. Sigh. I ordered a marguerita with Jose. I received a 9 dolla glass of tart azz water. I told another bartender (more mature in appearance) that my 1^st drink was horrible so I will just take a shot of Jose and a seltzer with lime. She poured an entire half sized cup of Jose, put a lime on a napkin, took my cash and disappeared. I didn’t know whether to be happy or confused. 1 star
As for the crowd, the ladies all seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves. No haterade, etc. 5 stars
The guys? Well, maybe it was just the area that I was standing. Lol. 2 stars

This place…
Okay. So it can’t be more than 1000 square feet.
But there are 1000 people. 1 person per square foot
No dancing, no breathing.
We left upon arrival.

I went there on a Friday night and the crowd was laid back older. The music is good and so are the drinks. I like places like this!

Some friends invited us to come meet them. Had never heard of swagger. It was small but must admit the music was good. Not a drinker so didn’t care about the liquor. It isn’t a club and alot of people dressed very casual like they were chilling at home and decided to come have a drink lol which was fine with me. Would I go back? Possibly if someone invited me.

A few friends and I were having wine and drinks at the Tasting Room in Uptown Park and felt like the night was still young for a Saturday so it was one of my friend’s idea to come check this place out.
Located in a shopping center next to Whataburger, I was prepared to expect the worst since just the name ‘Swagger’ gave me a feeling like I was about to walk into a very ‘hood’ establishment.
I wasn’t completely wrong about the place, but I wouldn’t consider the place to be very ‘hood’. The crowd is predominantly African American and in their 30’s and up. I’m sure I was the youngest person there. (I’m 22).
The vibe was very chill! Everyone appeared to be enjoying each other’s company, having a good time. The men didn’t appear to have a ‘thirsty’ look on their face like the ones from the Tasting Room in Uptown Park.
I did read some of the previous reviews for this place and many commented on how stiff the drinks are. Omg, yas! The drinks are strong! I watched my bartender make me a Malibu and Coke and this gurl seriously gave me a splash of coke and the rest was all rum. ‘Okay, I’ll go with it. Thanks boo thang!’ — it tasted just fine for me, I mean, it’s just coconut flavored rum. No big deal. $ 9 for Mal/​Coke.
They did advertise Patron Shot Specials throughout the night– $ 6/​shot.
The music was really good! Lots of old school throwback hip-​hop and R&B. I was putting my Shazam app to good use that night!
Overall, good times and nice people. Will I come back? Only if a friend suggests it.

It’s the place to go if you wanna hear the club music but you don’t feel like putting on your club clothes. You can dance and be out, but you might as well wear what you had on all day. The crowd is at least 15 years older than me though, so maybe when I’m 50 I’ll wanna dress to impress there…

this place is my secret little pleasure. But apparently not so secret anymore. My boyfriend and I usually go here if we want to drink and watch the game and listen to good music. The bartenders and nice. and pretty! Drinks are strong but a tad bit over priced. Music is always good… a mix of old and new hip hop. Only bad this about swagger is it is tiny. so on those packed out saturday nights you can barely breathe. Try going on a wed… much more elbow room!

BEWARE!!! My credit card was charged $ 25.00 more than what I authorized yesterday. This was the second time this has happened and I shouldve known to just use cash after the first time. So if you go there please use cash!!!

Don’t under estimate this place! I know it looks wild cuz it’s in a strip mall, but inside is a place filled with drama free people and great music.
If you go earlier in the evening (before 11 – 12) it’s more of your 35 and up crowd, who are most deff fun! But as the night goes on your younger crowd joins in.
Drinks are regularly priced, but stiff! Sometimes I have to ask for a little more cranberry with that vodka! Hah! The bartenders are always friendly and get to you as soon as possible.
DJ is a mix of old school funk, soul and step, with today’s rap hits. This is the place if you wanna dance.
Parking is usually ok, you can park pretty much anywhere in the strip mall area.
There’s always cops around, so don’t cause any BS and don’t drink and drive!
Nice sitting area in the front where pple like to mingle. Lots of «old school» men who will try to charm you out of your dress, but always worthy of a giggle and a smile. The people are nonjudgmental and relatively down for a fun time.
I’ve been several times before and I’ll be there again in the future. Only thing that could make it better is if they would increase the size of the club and spruce up the interior!

Man I got my girls and my red stripe! 80s, 90s, and early 2k mix I’m good! I don’t want to leave, nice crowd and did I mention the mix great if you are a early 30 flirty kinda person will enjoy!

I’ve driven by this bar hundreds of times over the years, and finally my GF and I decided to drop in. Why not? We looked good, we felt good and wanted to dance.
The bar was packed so we didn’t get much dancing accomplished, but we were served some STIFF drinks. They were small, but stiff. The patio was packed as well with a bunch of peeps smoking cigars. (Not too appetizing when you’re not the one puffin’ on a cigar.)
There were three cops in attendance, which must come in handy because when we arrived, there was a girl fight happening in the parking lot. Ooph! Good news is that the crowd inside was drama free.
Will I go back? No. But hats off to the regulars who love a place called Swagger.

Came here on a late Saturday, the crowd is an older mature ages… like your aunt lunell n her friends lol or that uncle that unbuttons the first 3 of his shirt. Anyway the music was good olé school r-​kelly, Mary j, it was packed so not much room to dance, ooh the drinks are strong I liked that, nice patio area, few tabletops. There are cigar smokers out there and bikers?! this the kind of place maybe late 30s& 40s plus go to get their groove on. The name swagger tho? Lol

I’ve been to better … but I’ve definitely been to worse.
It gets too packed in there. Hood spot with upscale intentions.
The music is way too loud for a place that size. It’s a great happy hour spot, but after that, you’re on your own, Boo.

ok, i was already wasted when I got here so getting here as a last lap to a night out about town is not too bad.

I came here on a Friday night with friends and we had a good time. The music was really good but the place was super packed so I really couldn’t move around like I would have liked. When I got to packed I just moved outside and chilled on their little patio. Nice place. Good drinks. Great music.

The music is a mix of new and old R&B and Rap. Great energy even if the bartender is doubling as the DJ.
The drink prices are a little high, this is a recession :-), beer is reasonable though…
When this place is crowded, it is crowded 60 – 70 people will do it. limited bar seating and seating along the wall fill up quick on weekends.
For the most part the bartenders are great, every now and then they will blow you off for a regular or pay closer attention to the big tippers, leaving others to wait an unusually long time for a drink.
The clientel has gotten younger over the years that I have been frequenting this place, not that that is a bad thing but sometimes the twenty-​something crowd can get tiresome and quite silly. Normally they only show up en-​mass on Friday and Saturday nights around 10 pm. Thursdays can get crowded as well.
