Swingin' Door Exchange pours a broad beverage program: five named cocktails, a dozen-plus spirit categories, and a wide beer list spanning stouts to ciders. The cocktail list leans modern with names like Sour Cherry Bomb and Smoky Cucumber Gimlet, while the beer and spirits menus cover classic ground. A late-night pizza-and-cocktail service extends the drinking hours.
