SWIG   

Swig seeks to bring a new style of dining to the Milwaukee area. The restaurant opened in early 2005 in the former home of Luke's on Water Street, bringing small dish dining to the city. The idea behind small plate dining is simple: Instead of a large main course and maybe an appetizer, Swig offers a selection of dishes that are bigger than appetizers but smaller than a full entree, offering patrons the chance to enjoy a wide selection of menu items. The small dish dining concept encourages people to share their selections with their dinner guests, providing a more intimate dining experience. The surroundings at Swig are elegantly posh to match the exquisite quality of food offered. The lounge attitude that spreads throughout Swig makes it a great nightspot as well. For the bar crowd, Swig specializes in wine or vodka drinks, hosting a wine tasting on the last Monday of every month.
