Swift's Attic: A Trendy Gastropub Experience in Downtown Austin

Came for NYE dinner and everything was amazing. Service, cocktails, and the pre fixe menu was 10/10. So much attention to detail and incredible food throughout the entire night. It was a perfect way to bring in the new year!

We went to this place as a large group of 16 people. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant interior was fine as well but the lights were so dim that you couldn’t see the food. The piranha steak and the lamb pops were a hit. The appetizers were delicious. It was a beautiful day in Austin to enjoy the food and good company.

Swift’s Attic is a downtown Austin spot that feels like a “hidden upstairs” gem—creative New American small plates, a cool moody vibe, and a cocktail program that’s actually worth ordering from. The menu leans shareable, so it’s perfect for a group or date night when you want to try a few different things. Service was attentive and paced everything well. Great place to go when you want something fun and a little different from the usual dinner routine.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Swift’s Attic! Chef Nay delivered food that was truly off the charts—every dish was packed with flavor and creativity. The environment is amazing as always, with an energy that makes every visit feel special. If you’re in Austin and haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Swift’s Attic is a must-try!

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The server was so friendly. Specially when we said we’re vegan. Best part Chef Nay went out of her way to mark everything vegan. And no we are not the picky vegans either. So they did it just because they’re nice. The food itself blew our mind. Chef should be considered for a Michelin star for sure.

Had a great dinner! All the dishes were smaller portions by design so you can share. Different concept where you can order a variety for yourself or take a bite or two and pass it around. You can ask for another round of your favorites as we did! Everything we ordered was deliciously on point. Some we had to have more so we doubled up on the broccoli,bread and beef dishes.

Loved the vegan options, Chef Nat Castillo was incredibly accommodating went above and beyond with making most of the starters and couple of main vegan optional, so much flavor. Loved the Lebneh, roasted cabbage unbelievably delish Great service 10/10 Special vegan dessert was so good

A big shout out to Swift’s Attic for an incredible introduction to their new Executive Chef Nay Castillo. If you’re looking for flavors that pop with clear identity, Chef Castillo puts a lot of dimensions (sweet, sour, bitter, cold, crunchy, hot, melty, crispy) in each of the dishes. The big test was whether my wife’s sophisticated palate would enjoy it, and it’s a testament that we walked away a happy and very full family. What an amazing dinner and service! Our favorites were the hamachi crudo, lamb pops, and fried chicken. My son demolished the edamame with multi-salts and pop rocks. We had an amazing time.
