"Dining at Swaby's Tavern with my friends is always a treat."

"Friendly service, a large selection of drinks, delicious food — Swaby's Tavern is unlike any other place I know."

I can't believe I only just discovered this place. They have a full menu and full bar. The food was great and they have $5 burgers and chicken sandwiches on Saturdays and Sundays. The decor is like a mad Applebees. All manner of crazy ephemera on the walls and ceiling. There's an electric chair in the corner and a hall of mirrors leading to the restrooms to give you an idea of what I mean. We went in the late afternoon/early evening and the place was nearly empty. The waitstaff were happy to be there and did I mention the food was good? The wings were delicious too. Order them charred!

• By far my favorite bar in Auburn. Plenty of random stuff all over the place so it's kind of like drinking inside of a Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum. About 20(?) or so beers on tap, $5 burgers on Fri and Sat, pool table (hidden in the back), and they play a good indie and pop mix of music over the speakers. The ambiance can vary from chill/empty to I-can't-effing-move-or-effing-hear-myself-think.

• Aesthetically speaking, this bar reminds me so much of San Francisco. I am not sure of the history of this place, but it seems to be old but not in a dirty way.
  
  The crowd is eclectic, which is rare for this area. The staff is amazing, smiling bartenders are great. I love when I sit at a bar and the bartender actually is happy to be serving me.
  
  They offer some nice taps, Oktoberfest was delicious.
  
  Overall a great bar for sleepy Auburn. I am happy I finally checked this place out.

• Try their wings. Their hottest actually impressed me... They WERE in fact HOT! Also, nice, meaty wings - tender, moist and tasty. Kudos!!!

• Swabys is one of my favorite places to eat at in Auburn, the food is excellent and for those who are money conscious the prices are good. My personal favorite is the charbroiled wings
