The Swamp Restaurant Entertainment Venue ·$$

For over twenty-five years, The Swamp Restaurant has served as a staple restaurant, bar and event venue in the Gainesville community, acting as a gathering place for University of Florida students, alumni and Gainesville citizens alike. We opened the doors to our original iconic building, located off of West University Avenue, on December 30th, 1994. Its facade quickly became iconic to those familiar with Gainesville: the two-story building with its white trim, white picket fence, and sprawling front lawn, which was originally constructed in 1914 as a professor's house and then remodeled in 1993 after it was nearly destroyed by a fire, stood out as a charming and unexpected landmark amongst the adjacent college bars.
