We have enjoyed the environment of this establishment enough times that I feel comfortable in this rating. Please take into consideration the type of place this is. The decor is eclectic bordering on occult also historic for the region. Of 6 or more combinations we have tried, I feel safe with saying any of their menu offerings are a good value with emphasis on their burgers and fries. Being a tavern the level of service can vary be prepared to take that into consideration. I don’t know that this is such a child friendly environment either.

A friend and I came for a late lunch/early dinner (around 3pm). The bartender/waitress told us the specials, then told us that today was “free dessert Thursday” if we ordered a pasta dish or entrée (I don’t remember if there were other qualifications). I ordered the Alfredo, my friend ordered the meatball sub. I got the taco soup to go with, and it came with tortilla chips. The soup was thick, and worked well as a dip with the chips. The Alfredo was good, enough for two meals, and he said his meatball sub was delicious- the meatballs were huge!

For dessert, we got a brownie a la mode. We had thought it might be a small portion because of the promotion, but it was definitely big enough for us to share. And as usual, the decor leaves plenty to look at. Swaby’s is by far my favorite bar to go to, I just wish it was a little closer to Syracuse!

Great overall hang out. Great burgers, good greasy bar food, popcorn before the meal. The place looks like it originated the Chili’s decor model. Could use some dusting but if you are looking for a place to watch the game or catch a quiet Sunday family meal it’s Def worth finding parking.

I can only describe the decor as eclectic chaos. Walking through the door transports you to a cozy pub mashed with the Explorer’s Club.

The menu has more than you’d expect from your typical bar. Tasty food and fresh ingredients. The service is incredible – friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Decent local beer options. Generous happy hour deals 4-7pm.

Perfect for an intimate date night or large group. Our group of 20+ people had a great time in the upstairs back room.

Regardless of your plans, it’s well worth stopping for a drink and a look around at the menagerie and museum pieces on the walls and ceilings.

Heard this place has lots of cool stuff on the walls. Wow does it. A life size king tut, giant gorilla, Funhouse mirrors, and to top it off it even has a used electric chair. Grab a drink and walk around so much to see. The bartender was great. Similar to the Spirit Room in Rochester but different.

Wow. I went here as a kind of step-back-in-time since I had been here decades ago with an Auburn-ite. It is not as good as it once was. The decorations are still interesting, but I don’t understand why they would seat Marilyn Monroe in the electric chair. It totally detracts from the display and the thought of actually sitting in the chair yourself. Our waitress knew almost nothing about the offerings. I had to get up from our booth and go to the other side of the place to see the beer selections because she didn’t “know about beers”. Huh? She’s a waitress in a bar! The beer selection was terrible and seemed like it had been forced on them by their distributor. No variety of types. We were going to have wings and then entrees. After having the wings we decided to stop there – they were very bad. Dry and flavorless. We ordered Honey Garlic but there was no coating on the wings. They were just dry flavorless wings. It wasn’t until we got to the bottom of the basket that we found some honey. Just a thin layer of honey on the paper basket liner. No garlic or hint of garlic flavor. Failure. I actually said to my companion, “Why would I trust them to prepare any more food for us?” We got out of there after paying. Probably tipped too much for ignorance.

Very unique and eclectic decor. We had a great time dive bar hopping in Auburn, then decided to have dinner at Swaby’s. The service and atmosphere were A+. The mozzarella sticks were incredible. If you’re out in Auburn, check out Swaby’s. You won’t be disappointed.

We know why they serve popcorn. When it takes 25 to 30 minutes to serve a grilled hot dog and a bowl of soup on a quiet Thursday, at least the popcorn kept us quiet.
After that unresolvable wait the hot dog wasnt hot. The chips were good. The Mexican chicken soup was good -not too hot either.
Our server Alissa did the right thing and had the bill taken care of, and she said the wait was way too long. It wasn’t busy and a stop by the manager would have been nice but at least the server stepped up.

Wild spot. Worth walking around and scouting all the wall paraphernalia, especially the Original Electric Chair!
I was there midday so pretty quiet but seemed like it might be bumping in the evening
