Swift's Attic
Swift Building, 315 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701, USA- Spaces for 110 Guests
Swift's Attic occupies the second floor of a historic downtown Austin building at 3rd and Congress, originally built in 1905 as the home of the Swift's Premium Food Co. The space pairs its original exposed brick and timber with modern touches, giving group dinners and private gatherings a distinctive backdrop above the street. The kitchen serves modern American shareable plates with a farm-to-table focus and a rotating menu that draws on global flavors, making it well suited to group dinners where guests sample a range of dishes together. The bar complements the food with 14 draft beers, an extensive bottled beer and by-the-glass wine list, and a craft cocktail program that includes an ice tap and ice ball cocktails. While Swift's Attic does not have a dedicated private room, it accommodates intimate dinners and larger celebrations — from birthdays and anniversaries to corporate functions and executive dinners — in its Lounge and semi-private sections, with options for full restaurant buyouts.

The venue pairs indoor and open-air spaces for weddings, private events, chef-inspired dinner parties, and intimate live music concerts. A barn-inspired, steel-framed open-air structure offers a covered setting for dinners, ceremonies, and dance parties, while a newly expanded front garden entrance adds more than 2,500 square feet of landscaped event space. The restored bungalow serves as a flexible spot for private dinners, art exhibits, pop-ups, and bridal party preparation. Wedding packages range from a single-day time block to a full weekend rental that includes rehearsal dinner space and use of the bungalow, with a day-of site manager included.

The Austin Club, founded in 1949, has leased and restored the building since 1979. Today the club hosts weddings, galas, corporate events, and private dinners across seven indoor and outdoor rental spaces, including the Medallion Ballroom, which accommodates up to 250 seated or 300 standing guests.

The venue has been owned and operated by the Austin Woman's Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, since 1929. The mansion offers a sequence of spaces for weddings and private events, from the Grand Entryway Foyer with its stained glass and hand-carved woodwork to the Grand Ballroom, which seats up to 175 guests beneath hardwood flooring and a raised stage for a band or DJ. Outdoors, the brick Ceremony Courtyard seats up to 165 guests facing its magnolia tree, or up to 150 facing the Chateau itself, with an adjoining terrace suited to cocktail hour.
