College crowd keeps the Swinging Chicken on top.
Overall a satisfactory experience closing a Saturday night down here. Most bars reviewed in the area are sleepy compared to this one. There are several game options including pool, ping pong, and table shuffle board along with an expansive bar ably served by a single tender. The music is loud but not quite blaring and given it's popular nature it last calls at 1230. The furnishings are newish and modern yet simple and bathrooms have large, good conditioned tiles. It's a mix of wedding blouse, cowboy boots, Addidas pants and high heels, tee shirts and cheap hats, tattoos and smarty glasses.

This place is a joke. If your thinking about stopping in forget it go somewhere else. And to top it all off they do not sell food. Not to mention we all had sober drivers who got the boot too, the hell with this...
Read moreSeven of us from England, currently in MA visiting friends, had a really good night at the Swinging Chicken a week ago. last night however, we were refused entry because the young lady on the door wouldn't accept our government issued UK driving licences, with photo, as a valid ID. Most of our group are over 50 so clearly old enough to enter. She claimed that she didn't understand how to read our licences and made it clear that she wasn't prepared to...
