Don’t get it twisted they close at 2 am and not 4 am as advertised. I had the margarita with pineapple and coconut. Deliciouso, tasty and buzz worthy. I enjoyed the ambience, the customer service and music selection. Everything about this place is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Got invited to Brunch unlimited mimosa for 22 bucks which is a steal with a purchase of a meal. I will return because of everything.

The tacos for taco Tuesday were amazing, it was a fried haddock taco. The service was super friendly at the table and my server was super attentive and nice. Her name was Valentina I believe ? She made my experience memorable and made me want to become a regular here, i came for the food and will come back for the service

I'm a big fan of their other location down in Fort Greene and couldn't be more excited that this was closer to my side of town. The first time I stopped by was for lunch, and it was so beautifully decorated for the season. The Reuben sandwich on Focaccia was everything! The Burger was pretty solid, too. I stopped by again last night for dinner, and to be honest, I wanted everything 😆 I ended up getting a fried chicken sandwich and a really good espresso martini. Next time, I really want to try the short ribs & mash 🤤 oh & and TV everywhere if you want to watch sports!

Hi I would like the owner to know that the customer service & vibe are great @ The Swan. However, my room mate & I used to order the shepherd's pie very often prior to the new Swan opening & it was delicious. Please consider a different recipe for the "new" shepherd's pie. It's tomato base is too loose & wet, & has a tangy taste and the veggies are cut too large. It doesn't taste like authentic shepherds pie. Thanks for considering my opinion. I'm a foodie.

Super cute spot with a cozy Christmas vibe during the holiday season. The food is pretty traditional English pub fare, like bangers and mash, shepherds pie, fish & chips, and curry fries (pictured). Nice little place!

So the design - FABULOUS. Service - staff are nice but slow and faltering. Temperature is not adjusted properly, we were all cold (party of 8). Plates are plastic 😶Burger is not the same, more like a smash burger.. the pickle is not sliced into rings for a proper bite (and one of us didn’t get any 🤦‍♀️). Fries are great, cauli-wings are 10/10, wings 8/10. Brooklyn Lemonade 5/10. The menu is limited in comparison to the original location (Dekalb).. I’ll give them time to sort their game.. till then - the original is WAY better🤷‍♀️

Generally I only come here for brunch, the food measures between fine to good. The full English breakfast slaps. The service is chill yet superb. Dog friendly! and a great spot to escape the annoying crowd of social media colonizers. Probably my favorite sports bar yet I don’t follow sports.

Idk if it is really worth 5 stars but I love to come here with my friends and pretend to be a mature adult. Very happy they have a black and tan on the menu. They will NOT make a spaghett even if they say they will.

The staff is amazing as well as the food. Their chef Arturo is the best.Martin and Karen always are so nice. If you want to watch a game with good food it's the best place to go in the area.

I'm calling attention to a very important matter at The Swan that deserves serious consideration. I've visited this bar on multiple occasions, and unfortunately, I have both witnessed and personally experienced rude and hostile treatment directed toward Black patrons. On more than one visit, I observed the older Irish bartender typically present during the day throw menus on the table at Black customers, speak to them in a dismissive tone, and display overt rudeness. In contrast, white customers were greeted with friendliness and attentive service. My friends and I simply wanted to enjoy lunch at a local establishment, yet we left feeling mistreated and, quite frankly, discriminated against. I sincerely hope the ownership at The Swan takes this feedback seriously and takes meaningful steps to ensure that all customers feel safe, respected, and welcomed in their establishment. Everyone who walks through those doors is spending their hard-earned money and deserves to be treated with dignity regardless of their race. Until real change is made, I urge fellow Black patrons to consider supporting businesses that genuinely value and respect your presence.

Good spot to watch the game and grab some traditional pub - got the fish and chips and frozen margarita. The fish and chips were quite good

The Swan is back! I'm a little tardy to the party but I haven't gone to the former Black Swan since it re-opened under its current name. This used to be a fave brunch spot of mine but recently, I saw a video online of someone enjoying the most fabulous looking salad. I just had to have one, so yesterday I met up with a girlfriend for that fabulous looking salad and Happy Hour cocktails. We started by sitting at the bar. Our lovely Irish bartender was super cool, and she made our sugar rimmed Margaritas just right! After some time, we sat at one of the beautiful, Gothic looking booths and I ordered a kale Caesar salad with broiled salmon. It was perfect. The kale leaves were fresh and crispy. The shaved parmesan was delicious and the salmon was sooo tasty. Skinless and with no fishy taste, seared until almost crispy just like I requested. I'm really happy that The Swan is up and running. Now I've got another solid Happy Hour spot to add to my list.

This used to be another spot, The Swan moved in and did the remix. This is a friendly after work spot located in Bed-Stuy. TV's are everywhere, it was soccer on tonight and the bar was going wild. The drinks are top shelf and flowing, the prices are affordable, and this bartender will mix whatever you desire. I was invited here for after work drinks and The Swan did not disappoint. The service is friendly, the bartender is attentive, and there's a wonderful seating area in the back yard if the bar scene is not for you. I had Espolòn Tequila and pineapple juice which was s tasty and not too sweet. The shots of Espolòn Tequila made my night. I like my wings HOT. The hot wings with cayenne based sauce and ranch were definitely worth the trip. Come out and enjoy the casual atmosphere on any night, seating also available out front. The after work prices are available on Saturdays and wait for it... they have alcoholic smoothies (did I say that correctly?) Come thru support local business.

- friendly service - spacious - huge portions - great for watching games, no bad seats (other than the corridor) - three bathrooms - alright mozz sticks - decent chicken bites - I loved the kale ceasar, with vinaigrette instead of ceasar - fried are regular - chicken sandwich was good - throwback soundtrack was great!

Great restaurant and sports bar in bedstuy. Beautiful decor with televisions throughout to watch your favorite sport (soccer, football, basketball ball... they have it all!) They have Taco Tuesdays so if you love sports and Tacos, Tuesday is your day! I enjoyed the ambiance. It's perfect for drinks with friends or a casual date. Beautiful decor and lighting and it wasn't too loud so you wouldn't have to speak loudly to be heard. Service was also quick and friendly. I'd definitely be returning soon. *Not 100% sure but i believe this establishment was previously called Black Swan. I think it's under new management and I like this version! A LOT! Give it a try.

My new go-to for casual sports bar beers and food. The food is very solid. Service usually great. I prefer to sit at the bar. The decor and overall atmosphere is much higher than your average sports bar. Not a dive, but not fancy or pretentious. Very comfortable. Great prices. I especially like the burger, chicken sandwich, and the salmon salad.

The carbonara is great! Liked the chili and wings, too. And can't go wrong with pub fries. The waiter was nice, too. Much bigger inside than it looks! So nice to eat in a bar that doesn't smell like stale beer.

I used to go to the bar that previously occupied this space often and was excited to see The Swan open. A friend and I decided to watch the Knicks game 6 and the pasta dish we ordered was amazing. The back section is perfect for game-watching with lots of TV's including a large screen and ample space. The service was meh. Everyone else at tables around us got checked on repeatedly and asked if they needed anything by the gentleman who I think was the owner and we had to almost chase the waitstaff down to order. I sent a drink back since it was 90% soda and not sure I'll return. I live nearby and disappointed in the service.

Martin builds some of the best cocktails I've tasted in this area and the steak was great. (Kudos to the chef) Loved the ambiance and location as well.

This is a solid neighborhood pub/sports bar, with solid food and drinks, and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and it's a good place to watch a game. I recently tried the salmon salad, which was pretty good. The bar food standards - mozzarella sticks, wings, fries, nachos, etc. - are good and will satisfy your bar food cravings (but they aren't distinguishable from a lot of other pub-style bars in Brooklyn). I wish the beer menu featured more craft options, but what's currently available offer enough variety that you'll probably be able to find something you want. Overall, you're going to come here more for the vibe - an easy place to hang with friends and watch a game or strike up a conversation with the bartender - than the food or drinks, but what's on offer is satisfying and good enough for return trips.

So, the other day we went to SWAN ( nee: BLACK SWAN ), and it's current version is just basically the exact same thing, same decor, same layout, same same, except this version came with a lovely Irish lass whose accent was sooooo spot on and almost too perfect that the whole rest of the day I thought about how this was a Brooklyn waitress who goes home after a long shift at SWAN and is, in fact, not from Ireland, never been to Ireland, and has been fooling hundreds of folks for as long as she's worked there. Suffice to say, the food is mid at best, the portions are WAY OUT OF CONTROL though. I mean, seriously, nice job with taking care of folks but you could cut costs on your to go boxes if you could manage the portions a bit better. The kids menu is out of control. There was so much food. Kids don't eat that much food. My kids spent 99% of the time colouring on the menu. SOOOO MANY tater tots! SOOOOOOOO much Mac n Cheese. Just crazy servings. All and all, I'm glad this place didn't turn into condos like the rest of Bedford ave. It'll do just fine.
