Home - Swing at the Red House!

Swing Wine Bar is perched on the hill overlooking Capitol Lake. At night, our glass mosaic bar glows warmly and the niches in our converted bungalow create intimate seating areas. Relax on the outdoor patio where beautiful views of Capitol Lake, Budd Inlet and the Olympic Mountains await you, or reserve our downstairs Wine Cellar for special events.

We currently pour over 30 wines by the glass and offer over 200 bottle selections, the largest in the South Sound. We are especially pleased to promote local wines from Washington State and our friends in the Willamette Valley. Our goal at Swing is to make our wine and cocktail lists approachable and satisfying, and our staff is trained to suggest complementary pairings for your unique experience.

I am hesitant to leave a review because I want to keep this place all to myself! But, I have to leave an honest five stars because they deserve it. The cocktails, wine flights and small plates are creative, wonderful and fairly priced - perfect for happy hour, but the entrees and desserts are real show-stoppers as well. Between terrific views and a cozy ambiance, this is a perfect spot for a visit with old friends or a date, and the menu will make you want to linger and enjoy a full suite of offerings. I hope they decide to do a brunch!

Love the atmosphere, the friendly, laid-back vibe, the knowledgeable staff, and the view from the patio! Swing is an Olympia treasure.

My husband and I went Thursday night for dinner. We had a wonderful time. We each had a margarita to start. (All the drinks are named after cute, oldie song titles.) Then we shared three appetizers and split everything. Street tacos, stuffed mushrooms and fondue. The fondue was out of this world good! Then we each had an after dinner drink, equally delish. Highly recommend!!

Traveled to Olympia from Portland on business and decided to make a weekend of it. I am so glad I did and especially glad we chose to try Swing! Dining there was the highlight of the trip! Service was stellar, and the food and drinks were divine. We tried a few different wine flights, which were fun. The fondue was fabulous, and my boyfriend loved pairing his salmon appetizer with a glass of Amontillado. We had the brisket and Tuscan chicken salad for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed both. After dinner port and a bourbon tasting flight finished a delightfully indulgent evening out. Superb!
