Big fun at the smallest bar

The Swan Bar at the JW Marriott
With a reverse claim to fame in a city where everything is the biggest, tallest, or most outlandish, the Swan Bar at the JW Marriott is drawing tourists in its avatar as the city’s smallest bar.
Tucked away on the lower lobby level of the Atrium wing, next to the JW’s Steakhouse, The Swan Bar resembles an old-fashioned ‘snug’ reminiscent of the local village pubs of England and provides a haven of relaxed solitude and olde Englande charme. With three tables and six bar stools, there’s ample seating space. Cigars and premium beverages are top of the menu up until May.
The Swan Bar will be inviting all cigar aficionados to come and witness the expertise of an experienced cigar- maker in April. In the meantime, Reji, the resident bar captain, is on hand to assist with all guests’ smoking requirements.
