After arriving in Dallas to see family, we stopped by Swizzle on a Friday just as they were opening at 2pm.
We parked around the corner. They have indoor and outdoor seating, we sat at the bar for the full experience and enjoyed talking to Leah, our bartender, and Joseph, the owner. We chatted about all things tiki, including Dallas Tiki Week.
I had a Mai Tai and my husband ordered The Bum. I enjoyed my cocktail but for my husband's taste buds, his was a tad sweet, which is probably just a perfect drink for someone else. He ordered the Loco Moco, which was fine, nothing spectacular, and I had the Katsu Chicken Sliders, which were good especially with the sauce on the side. We were also there during happy hour and the Mai tai was only $5! That's a steal for this well crafted drink, nice job Leah.
Outside of the many food and drink offerings, I enjoyed the tiki bar atmosphere. The decor was just right and the music was on point. The whole point of tiki culture is to transport yourself to another place, escapism at its best. Swizzle accomplishes that very well. I could have easily stayed for another hour, but we had to go.
As far as Tiki Bars go, Swizzle did not disappoint and is my new favorite tiki bar in the Dallas area, and I've been to lots of tiki bars!
