In this episode of the South Jersey Bar Guide, Keith and Joe head to Swedesboro to review The Red Hen (and its upscale neighbor, The Black Sheep). Located at 1303 Kings Highway, this spot offers a unique “best of both worlds” experience you have to see to believe!

๐Ÿ“บ In This Review:

  • Two Vibes, One Bar: Discover how The Red Hen (family-friendly, pizza shop vibe) and The Black Sheep (upscale Mediterranean tapas) share one incredible bar in the middle.
  • The “Shorty” Pizza: Joe is hooked on this short rib pizza with horseradish sauceโ€”find out why he hasn’t ordered anything else in months!
  • World-Class Beer: While the tap list is small, it might be the best curated selection in the state. Shoutout to bartender Andrew for his top-tier recommendations (featuring heavy hitters like Messorem and Root + Branch).
  • The Atmosphere: From the “Saw movie” bathroom test (spoiler: it passed!) to the lively bar scene, we break down everything you need to know before you go.

Whether you’re looking for a family dinner spot, a date night at The Black Sheep, or just a place to grab a serious craft beer, this review covers it all. Plus, learn about the parking situation in Swedesboro and why it’s worth the walk.
