Swingin' Door Exchange American Restaurant ·$$

This bar/restaurant is a no-frills, simple place that slings better than average drinks and a great place to eat any time of day. Here, sandwiches like the Reuben and Patty Melt are served with interesting and tasty side dishes like Spicy Vermouth Carrots or grilled beets instead of fries. The restaurant also provides locals with the ubiquitous Friday night fish fry (just as any good Milwaukee establishment would) and one of the best things about the place is the cost, diners seem to agree that everything on the menu is extremely well-priced for the portion(s).

We expected a great dining (lunch) experience at the Swingin' Door, and they followed thru on the expectation! The bartop was jam-packed, as was the indoor seating, so we opted for an outdoor...

Came here on a weekend ten minutes before they opened, and there was already a line outside! After dining here, I can see why. The atmosphere is a cozy pub vibe and of course, they have a door...
