Winner for this Friday VIP Parking is... Erin Steffen ! Swabbies would like to send out a big fat sloppy kiss to everyone who entered. But you'll just have to settle for a more reserved knuckle bump… since we're in public and all. We'll PM the details (of the parking, not the kiss. Get your mind out of the gutter.).

Big News! We have BBQ Express this weekend. That means you can get your grub on with NO WAITING. Just walk up to the grill and tell us what you want. Then… eat. Seriously. If we made this any easier, we'd have to chew it for you too.

Swabbies is a quirky family owned local treasure. Much like the seasonal runs of migrating fish in the Sacramento River, Swabbies clientele migrates through as well. Swabbies begins each season with only one person tending the kitchen and bar. River locals, occasional travelers at the airport, or a golfer may stop in our small local watering hole.
As the season warms in early spring Swabbies begins the next migration. Local motorcycle enthusiast have discovered the perfect destination location when the sun shines long enough, providing a chance to blow the cob webs off and take a ride along the river and enjoy the famous tacos still fresh in the mind from last season.
In early April the fishing season for Striped Bass will begin its full swing with hordes of fisherman swarming the river in hopes of hooking a 40lb bass. Soon, spring turns toward summer and the river is full of boaters enjoying some of the best views and skiing/boarding conditions imaginable.
Once May hits, Swabbies' busy season has officially started with a live music kick off the first Saturday in May. The live music continues on weekend afternoons through October. The huge outdoor yard on the water with awesome live music makes Swabbies one of the most popular afternoon venues in the city! Be sure to check our calendar above to see all the live music events that are upcoming.
After the harvest moon, the season quickly slows and gets ready to cycle all over again. With all the different activities during the different seasons, it is no wonder the statement "You never know who you might run into at Swabbies." has become famous.
Remember, you can't go to the airport without stopping at Swabbies.. Swabbies is bar none one of the best locations in the city to entertain visiting friends and relatives. Show them a slice of what is best in the river city!!!!
