A historic pool turned social club, Swim Club is refreshingly fun. Indulge in the age-old adage: eat, drink, and be Downright merry. Grab a bite in the sunken dining room with submarine views of the adjacent pool, sip a refreshing cocktail on your poolside lounger, soak in the sun on The Lawn, and when the good-hearted and good-timing leaves you thirsty for more, enjoy late-night tunes in Randy’s Rodeo Room.

I booked a reservation for a party of 20 to celebrate my daughter’s birthday here. Less than a week out, the restaurant got bought out for a corporate event and canceled on us with abysmal communication. The manager did not even have the decency to pick up the phone and notify us- he unprofessionally, simply sent a message on opentable. Who check those regularly anyway?!
This is the absolute WORST customer service and the most shocking lack of managerial professionalism I have ever encountered. DO NOT book any event here as they obviously could care less about their clientele. So disappointed.

this place has all the potential to be an awesome restaurant but the service is absolutely awful. I had a reservation but when i showed up no one greeted us and we wandered until we decided to just sit at the bar because no one told us where to sit. The service at the bar was fine but overall was very disappointing.

This cute pool themed bar is part of the Downright hotel (formerly the Sheraton). When they did the renovations, they turned the indoor pool into a seating area for the restaurant. The decor is pink and turquoise and disco balls. The menu is small with tacos, sandwiches, pizzas and a few other things. My chicken club sandwich was great, and the fries were delicious. They have fun drinks on the menu, and mine was really good. It’s an easy walk to Moody Amphitheater. Check it out!

Chris @ The Terrace is the best! If you can find it, (I challenge you to!), definitely look for him. Great espresso martinis and intimate conversation~. ☕️🌹
