Swingers in Hollywood isn’t just a diner—it’s a slice of LA history with a side of sass and really good fries. This place has been serving up late-night eats and early-morning recoveries since the days when indie bands and studio execs shared booths. It’s got that lived-in cool without ever trying too hard: checkerboard floors, jukebox charm, and the low hum of a city that never quite sleeps.
The food? Way above the curve for diner fare. Think golden pancakes with just the right chew, fresh arugula tucked into a breakfast burrito, wild-caught tuna melts that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just hungover and looking for comfort, they’ve got something legit—and made with better ingredients than you’d expect at 2am on Sunset.
What really pulls it all together is the staff. Engaged, sharp, always game for a little banter if you are, or just genuinely attentive if you’re flying solo. They know their regulars, but they’re just as warm to first-timers.
Swingers is the kind of place that keeps its edge without losing its heart. A diner that feels like home—if your home had really good huevos rancheros and cooler people hanging around.
Such a cool place! The server was doing it all and doing such an amazing job! They had gluten free options, which was a plus for us! The food was amazing and a great price!
The food is delicious, and place itself is awesome, they have board games that we can play while waiting for the food, and they also have gluten free food.
Cute and vintage on the inside, too nice though to not sit on the sidewalk patio. Prices are steeper than indicated--$$-$$$. So much gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan selection though, and safely labeled. As in they seem to really understand cross contamination and not joist call something GF even though it then goes in the frier. Anyway, all day breakfast with both the enchiladas and juevos rancheros we're truly out of this world. The sauces, the fresh guac, cilantro, came out hot and so visually appealing I didn't stop to take a photo. Shakes were unbelievably creamy. Kids had what looked like the best burgers of their lives on fresh toasted rolls, thick melty cheese, and lacy crisp edges on the beef. The onion rings looked, sounded, and smelled amazing but I didn't eat one... gluten. Would absolutely come back, highly recommended!
Convenient valet parking and great waiters. Indoors and patio seating. Very glad they had gluten free options indicated on the menu and that they do lettuce wrapped burgers!
Taste: 3/5, pretty basic taste. Got a variety of different items (Crab Cake Benedict, corned beef hash, avocado toast, bottomless mimosa). Nothing too exceptional about the taste. The Crab Cake Benedicts that I got were small, overcooked, and salty. Corned beef hashes were okay, slightly better but still average. Gluten free friend enjoyed her avocado toast.
Setting/service: 5/5, food takes a while to come out, but setting was nice. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!. Great service.
Celiac friendly
