Swallow's Nest

Located in Finn Hall, this was perfect to grab a drink before dinner especially since it was happy hour time!Grey was wonderful and recommended the bacon infused old fashioned. My goodness it was delicious!! The bacon itself from the burger spot located in the same food hall was a great garnish.Love the spot and service, if you're in the area do check them out. I would recommend during the week and weekend it seems less popular.

Terrible experience. I came with some friends and the food hall itself was pretty empty but there was only one bartender on a Saturday night. The bartender asked for our IDs and kept scratching our ID cards with her nail and even accused one of us our ID was invalid (it wasn't)... I understand it's her job to be thorough but she was very condescending. There was also a cardboard box of old limes with fruit flies and bugs coming out next to the bar top. Not very appealing.. When our drinks came out, it looked like she skimped us when we compared to the photos on their instagram. Looks like we already started drinking it. The Bayou City Garden tasted like a passion fruit tea, good, but I couldn't tell if there was any alcohol in it at all. If you want a drink that tastes like a mocktail, I would recommend it. Unfortunate since my friends and I were really looking forward to trying this place out, but all of us were disappointed by the service and the drinks. Cute place though.

The shining light in Finn Hall is the Swallows Nest bar. Excellent drinks made by Elianna (forgive the spelling). She is without a doubt five star. Custom craft cocktails made by someone talented who takes the time with each customer. She is a great conversationalist whether the customer orders a cocktail or a draft beer. She is the person you want behind the bar when you want to have a great drink by someone who cares about what they do.

Now I'm born and raised in Houston, so understand my shock when I found this gem. More like I was pointed in the right direction by my friend Ari. First and foremost I love spots like these an open also flee market space that holds multiple businesses. This one is restaurants. 712 main holds multiple restaurants and surrounds Swallow Nest. Sitting at the heart of the location. I came for visit and tried their tequila and pineapple made by Rick garnishes with a dried pineapple slice. Definitely a dope way to start my Friday. SN also include 6 huge flat screens playing sports for you to kick back and relax. They are located in the middle so get a good view no matter where you sit. Awesome first impression.

Cool place, just discovered it. Across from Market Square Metro stop. Collection of bars and restaurants inside. Great vibe!

In town for the Final Four. Stopped in here for some evening drinks before heading back home the following morning. Was greeted and served by Terra, who was everything you could want in a bartender. She recommended what we were looking for, and even gave us some samples . Happy, pleasant, courteous, attentive.....you name it, she was it! If you are in the downtown Houston area, come by for a drink with Terra.....you will be glad you did!

Came by after work for some drinks. I forgot the name of the drink I had, but it was made with agua fresca from the Mexican restaurant next to the bar inside Finn Hall, and it was SO delicious and refreshing. The bartender even made it slightly less sweet for me, which made it truly perfect. It was strong too. The drink was adorned with a hibiscus flower, which I was promptly told was delicious and completely edible. So good! The girl told me where I could buy a jar, which I did as soon as I left. :)They like collaborating with the other restaurants inside the food court, which I thought was pretty cool! Excellent service.

Swallows Nest is the best stop downtown for an after work cocktail, game day beer or anything in between. It's the perfect start to a girls night out, before or after the theater, with a full bar, amazing mixologists slinging fun innovative drinks each week, they always have what you need...whether you know it or not.Terra, Gray, Rick, everyone is so nice and welcoming and you will feel like family while you're sipping at the Swallow.

They have the Best drinks and they cost from $6 -$12. Which is not bad at all. I had the pleasure of meeting TJ and he made this drink. Man when i tell you I couldn't even finish it !! This place is a must go, oh and if you do be sure to check out crave burgers, it's a burger place but baby they have the best fried chicken !!
