Midnight Swim

My fav place for quality texmex. entered near nine, it wasn't busy.

It was great music and great venue. This should be a perfect score but the bartenders are horrible. Especially this short white girl. She didn't seem to enjoy her job but you don't need to express it so deeply. Great place, bad people. I wouldn't recommend.

I am updating this review in 2021.The restaurant used to be called Chisme it is now Midnight Swim I haven't gone to this new restaurant. This review is.for Chisme. I wish they never closed. I've been here a total of 3 visits and have enjoyed their delicious food every time. Their micheladas are simply delightful. I ordered their version of Chicken & Waffles pictured below it was good but my favorite is their Pozole Verde and their TexMex version of Eggs Benedict. It's a swanky place with cool decor. Make sure you visit them soon.

Midnight Swim is a conceptual antithesis to what made Chisme great. Chisme was cool with Latin vibes, great food/drinks, and free chips and queso. There was nothing else like it on N St Mary’s. Now, of course, it is homogenized and has lost what made it special. New dance locales aren’t needed... in fact there are too many here. It would have been easy enough to add the “dance” scene under the guise of extended hours, and keep everything else the same. Instead, a great brunch and Happy Hour locale now lies in ruins. RIP Chisme.

I loved Chisme and I don't understand why the owner totally changed concepts, especially since it didn't have to be one or the other. Could've kept the restaurant and just had a focus on happy hour and snacks at the outside bar, and a DJ and bar change after an early dinner service.
