Our full menu is served daily from 11:30 AM – 10 PM, featuring crave-worthy comfort food, juicy burgers, share plates, and hearty mains — all made with care. Known for cold pints of local craft beer and friendly service, Swans is a favourite for lunch with coworkers, after-work happy hour, family dinners, and late-night bites with friends.

Enjoy weekday lunch specials, daily happy hour from 3 PM, $5 off late-night burgers every evening, and trivia night every Sunday.

    Table tops are of inadequate size for seating multiple guests for a meal. IF I were to return, it would only be for libations.

    I recently planned a surprise 50th birthday party for my husband at Swans Pub and I was thrilled with how everything worked out. Trevor the general manager was fantastic to work with and helped me plan the food and party details to make it an epic surprise. Jesse in the kitchen created beautiful canapes and charcuterie boards for my guests to enjoy. Aylla was very helpful the night of the event to ensure that the food and drinks were served seamlessly. The wait staff and bartenders were fantastic and kept the drinks flowing. Thank you so much for allowing me to host such a fun party for our 100 closest friends. The space was perfect for such an event.

    Now, I write this review because I love Swans. My sister used to work here, I’ve been almost a dozen times in the past few years and love it! However… last night was not a good time. I brought a few friends out for a “nice” meal, so we put on our nice clothes and chose Swans over a typically busy and loud Browns or Cactus club vibe. When we arrived at about 7:25, it almost caught them off guard that we were arriving. There was no bar seats (even though opentable the app they using for booking said there was), so they sat us next to 4 tables of “interns”. These group of young adults like us, were not well behaved unfortunately. Yelling, and standing RIGHT next to our table yell talking over each other, and yelling SHOTS in our ears. Super offputting, and staff didn’t seem to care they were all just standing around invading people’s space. I guess if you spend enough money you can do what you want here, shameful. Our first server was amazing. She helped us right away, had an awesome smile and attitude, and honestly I wish she moved table with us. When it came to 8pm we moved out to the atrium terrace. We had to then ask our server to order because she couldn’t be bothered to check on us. This girl couldn’t have looked more pissed off, and had the least customer service I’ve seen in awhile. Then I ordered a $34 piece of cod, which barely covered the palm of my hand, was cold, and came with 2cm of some puree that tasted like the hint of potatoes they should have served it with. If I’m paying $34 for FISH in a town on the water, make it a good portion size. Or at the very least serve it with a side that doesn’t scream “We’re trying to be fancy by giving you less”. That should be an appy, not a “Main”. You aren’t gonna get return customers to a pub for a tiny piece of fish in this town, sorry. The sad portion of a piece of cod left me hungry, and unhappy. Overall this experience left me saying to my friends “well sorry guys, usually Swans is great”. Can’t recall server’s name fully from the Atrium, something with a C. Dark hair tied up, younger. Not a good vibe at all. She needs some lessons in customer service. Overall 2/5 experience. Sorry Swans,but do better!

    Stopped in on a Monday about 3:30 discovered happy hour. Food and drinks available on Happy Hour with good prices. Daily and weekly food specials. Great location in china town and close to the water. Covered heated patio available for seating. Bartender was very nice. Will be back in the future!
