FAMOUS TACOS… FAMOUS FUN! The Best Sacramento Live Music Venue and Restaurant on the River. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week! Brunch served Saturdays and Sundays until Noon. Seasonal in nature, yet, open year round. Swabbies is a true Sacramento “best of” for daytime live music, birthday parties, graduation parties, fundraisers, company parties, retirement parties, outdoor dining, unique outdoor weddings, receptions, and entertaining out of town guests.

With authentic marina food, drink and plenty of tropical attitude.

Fun, lively spot to enjoy being out side whether shaded or in the sun to enjoy drinks, food and great live music! Our waitress was friendly, attentive.
Only complaint would be the hostess made it very difficult to sit at a table in the shade because the only one available was a four top, not a two top. It was quite ridiculous considering there was no live music happening and wasn’t real busy.

It’s been about 10 to 15 years since I’ve been here and it has changed a little bit especially the music. Although the temperature was in the hundreds they had plenty of fans and a lot of shade. If you don’t like loud music I suggest you don’t sit too close to the stage. The venue was outside on a mixture of dirt and sand. But there were plenty room for dancers so if you love to dance and go crazy this would be a good place to do it. At the same time you can view the water crafts along the river. Was being entertained by the band Spazmatics. They played a variety of music from the ’80s and a few rock songs. The tone and the beat was amazing. Other than the music the entertainment they provided was excellent. They engage with the public a lot and do a lot of photo ops…

What a great referral!! I was picking up my car at the airport and asked where a good lunch place was and they gave us Swabbies name along with a couple others. What a great referral from Budget Car rental, and, a great choice by us!! Sit outside, if it’s not to hot, great view of the river. The food was really good and the service was as good as the food

Staff are pretty decent and the fact that there were no flies as we ate outside was really nice, but the food was not what I expected and all.. my tacos had absolutely zero flavor and they were stuffed with mostly lettuce. The chicken taste like it was boiled without any seasoning and as far as the fish goes, it was still a little wet and soggy and extra crispy with no flavor as well. The french fries were pretty good though.! Food definitely overpriced and undervalued! The atmosphere was nice and the live band was amazing!

Fantastic place
Great music and love that it’s family friendly. Tables in the back are my favorite, not too loud for my son and he has some room to run around. Food is good and drinks great, always have a person checking in to see if we need anything else.
Parking get full so get in early

Small indoor casual place open air righy by the sacramento river . You can dock your boat close by.has heating lamps with a huge outdoor area , summer time is great with outdoor bands. Known for its delicious tacos! I had fish and chips . Perfect in the coop weather. They are closing for a month? Or so routine this tine of the year. Owners been around for 20 years and hands on running the place. Down to earth and attentive. Great place for casual, friendly locals

My fish tacos had a lot of Parmesan cheese, but they were tasty. Chips had a lot of Parmesan cheese too, salsa was mid. Bloody Mary was really tasty. My wife had chicken and pork tacos, she said they were okay.
