Firstly I have to say that the music was excellent. The food and service on the other hand was terrible. When we entered we were told that they would organise a table for us and we should wait at the bar and have a drink, fair enough. After 20mins we enquired what was happening as we could see spare tables.... More

We have been to this club about 4 times on different vacations. We love to swing dance, and there is live music and dancing here every day. Check the calendar for details & schedule. George Gee plays on Tuesdays, and the dance floor is sardine-style packed. Beware of people who don't understand that you can't dance "big" on a crowded... More

My husband and I were walking by looking for a place to eat. We liked what we saw so went in. Live music was available. You could sit in bar area and listen to music or pay $15 per person to go into the room where they were playing and dance. We chose to pay the $15 and had a... More

If you enjoy jazz and dancing this is the place to go. The bands that played the night we were there were both really good. Not many people dancing but it was early in the week. They do have an instructor out there showing people how to dance which is great. We were told about the extra $12 to sit... More

Food was good but overpriced for the quality. Drinks ok. Band was very good. Dance lesson before the band kicked off was fun but it was chaos, which i suppose added to the fun, the instructor was very good and friendly. Service, fair to good, but staff rude and aggressive when we trying to settle the bill, dont mess up... More

My Fiance and I along with another engaged couple recently visited Swing 46 on a Saturday night for a night of dinner and dancing. I had read reviews prior to going, and did not have high expectations. I couldn't have been misled more! We all had a fantastic night! I was aware of the $15 pp charge to be seated... More

We are huge fans of Swing 46, having hosted a multiple-generational family party there. The staff were so warm and the band was so hot! Our group spanned ages 11 to 72 and everybody had a ball. Food was surprisingly very good! Fun watching the dancers and joining in.
