Our Story
The spirit of
the public house.
A European-inspired neighborhood gastropub with an eclectic point of view and an open-door attitude.

Welcome to The Black Swan
Something familiar.
Something different.
Inspired by the timeless pubs of Europe, The Black Swan is a place to gather around a good table. Our approach combines traditional comfort with creative energy, international influences, and hospitality that makes everyone feel welcome.
A room for every reason
Four spaces. One spirit.
The Black Swan was thoughtfully divided into four distinct spaces, each with a character of its own.
