From the people behind Bourgeois Pig and Spotted Pig comes Swine, a bi-level spot located at 531 Hudson Street (near Charles Street, in the old Ruby Fruit B&G location). Bar upstairs has some small tables to dine, while most of the dining takes place downstairs. Pub Crawl NYC visited on a recent Thursday night and our primary takeaway would be how ridiculously crowded (and loud) the place was. The wine and beer selection is solid and the food was pretty good, but this is not a place to come if you want to have a reasonable quiet drink or dinner. The place was so crowded that the party at the table next to us had one of their wine glasses knocked to the floor because one of the standing patrons was so close to their table, he accidentally knocked the wineglass over. As expected, due to the crowded space, the service was slow, even though the staff was friendly. Maybe a return trip is worthwhile when the place is not so busy, but with so many other bars to explore in the five boroughs, Pub Crawl NYC is unlikely to return to Swine.
