Located in Atlanta, 7th House is a cocktail bar created in collaboration between Bovino After Dark and The Vine Wine Club, offering a retro-chic and mysterious cocktail experience✨. The bar features soft lighting and rich aromas, making you feel like you're under the stars🌌. Each reservation includes 3 specially crafted cocktails (with the option of non-alcoholic ones🍹) and 3 exquisite small bites🍴, priced at $84 (including an 18% tip💵). The entire space is filled with astrological elements🔮, and the theme revolves around the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water🔥🌍💨💧, creating an immersive experience that’s both classic and mystical🍸.
The cocktails here are incredibly creative. Bartender Trenton recommended the Amused Booze, a concentrated nitro cold brew☕ that’s sweet yet energizing, topped with gold dust✨—a visually stunning and delicious drink that perfectly kicked off the night🌙. The first cocktail that followed was the 13th Ring, which combines rum, pineapple, honey, cashew, lime, and sparkling wine🍍🍯. It has a mix of spicy and sweet flavors, with a savory note from the cashews, creating a rich and refreshing taste that feels like Thai food🇹🇭—unique and delightful.
While enjoying these cocktails, the small bites were equally impressive:
Chinese Mustard Ice Cream: The horseradish ice cream has an onion flavor, paired with salty crispy bits at the end, very unique😋. The duck confit chips bring to mind Chinese snack flavors🍜.
Chicken Liver Mousse: The mousse, paired with strawberry gastrique and granola, is rich in flavor but not too gamey💥. It’s served with Japanese house bread, which, although mild in taste, complements the mousse perfectly, adding texture🍞.
French Onion Creme Brulee: The rich onion flavor blends well with the concentrated onion soup taste🍲, and there’s a subtle hint of bonito flakes, giving it an almost burger-like flavor🍔—but without any actual burger meat, creating a uniquely intriguing taste🎉.
The following cocktails also left a strong impression:
Quick Whit: A bourbon cocktail with apple, walnut, and cinnamon🍏🌰, smelling wonderfully smoky. However, the taste doesn’t match the intrigue of the scent, feeling somewhat flat🥴.
Casper & Pollux: A bold, sweet drink made with duck fat-washed vodka, apricot-infused gin, and house-made vermouth, fresh yet strong with a clean, crisp water-like feel💧.
After enjoying these drinks, we tried All Hands on Deck, made with cognac and honey, accented with green tea🍵 for a smooth finish; and Check Under Your Seat, a bourbon-based drink with rye, rum, chicory, and cherry🍒—round and smooth, with a noticeable cherry aroma that was intoxicating🍷.
Bartender Trenton’s creativity and skills are truly remarkable👏. The cocktails use techniques like fat-washing and infusion, adding depth and complexity to every drink, making them worth savoring🤩.
In conclusion, 7th House is the perfect place for an immersive experience, with its theme based around the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water🔮. If you’re a fan of cocktails, this bar is definitely worth checking out—don’t miss it🥂!
