Craft beer, cocktails, burgers, fries, and happy hour deals
"This Adams Avenue bar boasts one of the best happy hour deals in town, with $7 draft cocktails available daily from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Stick around to explore a carefully curated menu featuring burgers and house cocktails crafted with unique ingredients like melon soda, grapefruit cordial, and shishito liqueur. The bar is also a hub for industry collaborations — hosting events like a tiki takeover by Coco Maya or a tasting from Frankie’s up the coast — all served inside the iconic backlit golden bar that spills out onto a wood-slat-enclosed patio." - Kelly Bone
"The $5 draft cocktails at this Adams Avenue bar may be the best happy hour deal in town (4 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily) but you’ll want to stay all night to enjoy a burger alongside well-balanced drinks like the Deadly Sin #4 with shishito vodka, melon liquor, avocado, honeydew, and lime." - Kelly Bone, Candice Woo
"Launching right after Thanksgiving, the bar will be going with a Krampus theme for its pop-up, with plenty of decorations and a seasonal cocktail list that includes hot buttered rum, a hot chocolate Old Fashioned, and the Krampus Cooler made with aquavit, Underberg, and passionfruit. For holiday gifting, its own Swans Spirits Company will be selling bottles of their “CocoRumpy”, a chocolate-peppermint schnapps, as well as 375 ml bottles of espresso martinis." - Candice Woo
"The Adams Avenue bar is getting into the spirit of the fall season with special cocktails running through the month of November that include the Poison Apple made with proper 12 Irish whiskey, allspice dram, orgeat, and cinnamon and Pumpkinhead Punch, a vegan traditional sour featuring rye, amaretto, pumpkin, black walnut, and aquafaba." - Kelly Bone, Candice Woo
"A dark, moody beauty in Normal Heights, Swan Bar is a throwback to the early days of the cocktail renaissance, with low lighting and great date night vibes. It also captures the experimentation of the period with the Mojave Shorebreak, which takes Westward Whiskey and peach liqueur, then introduces lime, pineapple, and a hint of honey for sweetness. Enjoy it with one of their signature burgers and a side of fries or onion rings." - Vox Creative
