Swig Johnson City: Menu With Prices, Hours and Location

Swig Johnson City is the North Roan Street store in the old Captain D's building, the only Swig in the Tri-Cities and the nearest one for southwest Virginia and northwest North Carolina. It opened on March 5, 2026, and a 32 oz Texas Tab costs $3.84 here.

The Swig for the Tri-Cities, Virginia and North Carolina

Swig's October 21, 2026 store list has no store in Virginia or North Carolina, and the nearest Tennessee stores are around Knoxville, roughly 96 miles west. That leaves North Roan Street serving a wide corner of three states. We measured from 15 starting points to see where it is the nearest Swig.

Straight-line miles from each starting point to the store coordinates in Swig's list, October 21, 2026; stores without posted hours are left out. Highway routes are longer.

Johnson City is the nearest Swig for 14 of the 15. For the 13 clear wins, from the Tri-Cities themselves out to Roanoke, the next store is 18.7 to 95.9 miles farther away, and for the Virginia towns that next store is in Clinton or in South Carolina. From Abingdon, for example, Johnson City is 33.4 miles away and the next Swig is 123.2. Asheville is a near tie: North Roan Street is only 2.7 miles closer than the Greenville, South Carolina store. Morristown is the exception, 7.6 miles closer to Buffalo Creek in Clinton.

Boone shows how thin the map is up there. Its runner-up is Rock Hill, just over the South Carolina line south of Charlotte; our Swig Rock Hill guide covers that store.

Seven benchmark items, Johnson City against the other 10 Tennessee menus and the chain median:

Tennessee ordering menus, October 15, 2026; national median across the 178 stores with an online menu.

The low end of each Tennessee range is Johnson City's own price. All 324 of its prices match nine other Tennessee stores, from Clinton and Knoxville to Murfreesboro and Chattanooga; only Bellevue in Nashville charges more, which our Swig Brentwood guide explains. So the drive to Knoxville saves nothing. To price your own build, try the Swig drink price calculator.
