Remember The Axiom? White Swan delivers a similar vibe. Touring acts, sometimes metal, and sometimes it's the absolute best punk venue Houston has to offer. It's a grungy,dark, comfortable ice house with good sound. Mohawks and back patches appropriate here.

I went here the other night to see No Cure and Primitive Rage. The show itself was epic but there was an unfortunate incident which is why I'm only giving this place two stars. As expected, this was a dingy dive bar, which for a hardcore show is honestly a little bit of a plus as it fits the vibe lol. They are a cardless venue that does not serve hard liquor so if you want drinks make sure you bring cash and expect to only have beers or seltzers. The sound was incredible and at such a small venue the energy was unreal. The problematic incident came in between two sets. I was sitting on a bench near the restrooms when all of a sudden the bouncer stormed over and started asking everyone in the vicinity who had just went into the restroom. I was very confused at first but eventually came to the realization the bouncer had seen someone who he thought was a trans person go into the restroom and he kept angrily shouting "Nah we don't do that **** here!". The restrooms each only had a single stall anyway. This was really uncomfortable to witness and put me off a bit. Concertgoers beware....

The Swan is full of love & energy & I dig the atmosphere for every show, always super friendly crowd, amazing place!!!

No wimps allowed. Only noise is real. Look, it's a legendary location. The parking sucks, but the shows are normally epic.

Fun place to watch a show. Went there for Ska Punk Fiesta II, was my first time there... had a blast!

Being as it t'were after my monthly brain de-oozing in which I hither-forth pay my drainologist at the de-oozery to clean the oozing rancid pus which is know to waxify and cake in the hollow usless space between my ears and behind my eyes. I found myself in need of refreshments and entertainment... seeing as I have a fresh brain in my head hollow. I found myself at the white swan. I walked in and immediately felt and found myself to be horribly underdressed. Embarrassed I made my way to the bar t'without my top hat'n'cane. Looking like a fool I needed to blend in. "Procure myself a libation of noble finery in the form of what that gentleman is imbibing." Pointing to a man talking to a man who claimed to be English... or Scottish... his speach confusing my newly cleaned head as he proceeded to "cut the rug" (as they say) I stood and watched the entertainment. If my jaw wasnt already on the floor due to full numbing jaw neuropathy... my jaw would of dropped. The sights and sounds brought on by what was to be named merciless savagery was astounding. The gent next to me must have been as amazed as I; for I believe he spilled his drink on me betwixt my hips and perhaps on the seat of my trousers because as my jaw was dropped my pants were sticky and damp. She may look like an ugly duckling from the outside... but this white swan is indeed a hidden beauty. Love this place

White Swan. Great old school rock bar hands down. Oscuridad Social was awesome seeing them play.

What a lucky girl I am. A place where music, art work, expression of creativity collide and dance it out.

Great shows here all the time. Nice staff. Easy parking.

Great stage & lighting, sound guy works hard to keep everything in check. Good people & fun shows!
