Austin ChronicleMarch 12, 2013Done up in white on antique white, Swan Dive is the place for all things piquant. Specializing in the eccentric, atmospheric, and anachronistic, they book music that marches to a different off-beat.
Austin 360March 29, 2012Swan Dive is the closest thing Austin has to a vintage speakeasy. Inside the powder-white boutique bar, you'll find a selection of hipster cocktails and a good spirits selection.
Kristina TassellJanuary 2, 2016Good vibes, music variety, great people and plenty of atmosphere. One hell of a place to spend NYE. Thanks for the awesome evening y'all.
Jeremy TeelDecember 11, 2015Since it's connected to the bar next-door. You get two for the price of one. Make sure to go in here on Tuesday night to skip the line at barbs
Kyle JamesJuly 19, 2016If the line at Barbarella is long, go through here - they're connected in the back!
Katy GentryJanuary 2, 2013I've seen it all at this speakeasy... swing, gypsy jazz, Balkan stomp, punk-jazz-mardis-gras-parade music, and other, um, weird stuff.
AbusedGrayMatterMarch 20, 2011GGAllen played here when it was the Cavity Club. First time I went to the "rest room" someone was shooting up. That was the early 90s. Amazingly clean now!- Do512January 20, 2012This band has a great atmosphere and fun cocktails! Check out what's going on here during SXSW at do512.com
Y BJanuary 27, 2012Greatest new bar in Austin! The atmosphere is old school and just right for a night out.
Chris ApplegateApril 6, 2012The cocktails may be in plastic cups, but they are still mighty delicious.
Jackie MannSeptember 4, 2017A cool place but not totally my vibe, most of the music was alternative.
Jared RobertsonJanuary 27, 2012This place feels like it was regal sometime in the 1910s and has since been haunted by style-ghosts.
This is probably the only reason I willingly go downtown. The drinks are pricey, but the music is always super interesting.
