About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
Swift's Attic is currently working on some fun new menu items. In the meantime we are open for Austin Restaurant Weeks with a 4- course menu for $50. We will also be offering an a la carte menu outside of the pre-fixe
We also have spaces suited for intimate dining experiences or full buyout celebrations.

Food you’ve had, like you’ve never had before. Familiarly strange, strangely familiar.
Nestled upstairs off of one of the busiest streets in Austin, the lure of our funky twist on classics pulls patrons into our hidden attic for a journey into an eccentric and eclectic culinary world serving modern, whimsical shared plates.

    Fun, funky restaurant. Limited tapas-like menu. Marvelous food - inspired takes on more traditional dishes without getting too cute. The Caesar salad was imaginative and pleasantly hot (spicy). The achiote sauce was complimented the shrimp and pineapple. I could eat the crispy broccoli every day.

    Bummed the mushroom risotto is gone, but the cabbage was amazing. The lamb chops were the best I’ve ever had.

    We haven't been here for a few years but it was great! The pop rock edamame is still there and it was even better than I remember!

    Had a wonderful birthday dinner with my favorite people at Swifts Attic last night. Lots of tapas and a bottle of wine. A perfect experience- lovely setting, superb service, and delicious food! I’ll be doing that again soon and definitely taking family and friends! 10/10 can recommend!

    Burger was small and bland. Fries were like frozen tater tots.

    The ambiance was very cool and cozy. The service was great. The food was hit or miss.. The edamame were good but having them soaking in the oil made them incredibly messy to eat. We were excited about the pop rocks, but we thought it would be better separated from the intense salt mixture. The prawns… head and tail left on creates a lot of effort for a minimum amount of meat.

    Dining at Swift’s Attic is always an amazing experience. I have complex dietary restrictions, and the kitchen is incredibly accommodating. It’s rare to find a restaurant that not only understands those challenges but handles them with such care and attention. We have a favorite table where we always sit, and it’s always a pleasure to see Sal, who takes exceptional care of us every time we visit. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. Swift’s Attic isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Every visit feels special, and I always leave feeling as though I’ve been treated like royalty. You won’t be disappointed!
