Editorial Review for Swingers – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
For better or for worse, Swingers has become an L.A. institution. Andy Warhol-inspired wallpaper (cows, not cans), tartan-plaid booths and waitresses in fishnets epitomize L.A.'s retro diner scene where vintage-clothed screenwriters hang. The elaborately illustrated menu includes grilled cheese stuffed with sharp cheddar and jack; milk shakes are enriched with fruit juice, and salads topped with ahi tuna.

I live in Chicago but I fly back and forth to Santa Monica all the time for work. Whenever I'm in the area I always end up making at least a few trips to Swingers. It's not easy being a vegetarian and having to travel for work. When I found Swingers I was really happy to find a good restaurant that actually has a huge selection of vegetarian food, and not just "veggie burgers" like a lot of other places. I also go out for drinks with friends sometimes and since Swingers stays open late, we always go there afterwards to sober up. It can be a little crazy busy at that time of night, but it's still a good vibe and usually filled with a lot beautiful women. They also have a great selection of music in their juke box from stuff like Cold War Kids to Radiohead to The Beatles . If your visiting, live in the area, or just a vegetarian trying to find a place with a wide range of options. I highly recommend checking this place out.
Pros: Vegetarian options, music, staff
Cons: They don't have one in Chicago.

Love, love, love this place. It’s the only place that I can bring anyone of my dieting friends, vegetarian, vegan, or the hungry burger man. It has awesome salads that would keep any healthy eater happy or burgers, milkshakes, and fries that are great for any diet free day. All of the staff was laughing and eager to help us during our visit and they were slammed. It was nice to see a smiling face amongst all of this busy diner's commotion. VEGAN COOKIES!!!!
Pros: AWESOME MENU! Open early, open late
