A cozy retreat with hunting lodge vibes, Seven Grand serves top-notch cocktails, boasts a stellar whiskey collection, and offers a chill atmosphere perfect for unwinding.
"For people who make whiskey their entire personality, Seven Grand is the holy grail. This massive DTLA bar feels like an upscale Canadian hunting lodge (prepare for aggressive taxidermy), but spying Bambi on the wall becomes a lot less jarring once you order one of the whiskey cocktails, which are the best in town. Apart from their dedicated old-fashioned menu—there are seven variations to choose from–they also do solid riffs on drinks like highballs and palomas. And if you want to get even deeper into mash bills and barrel-aging, check out their semi-secret tasting room in the back, Bar Jackalope." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"“Seven Grand is a whiskey lover's paradise. Glenn even checked out their San Diego spot during Bartender’s Weekend. Whether you’re in LA or San Diego, their selection of brown is top-notch. Trust us, you’ll find something you love.”" - brennan carley
"It’s Thursday, you haven’t been able to differentiate workweeks since 2012, and you need whiskey. This dark, sexy bar has $5 Happy Hour cocktails (from open till 8pm) and $6 personal pizzas to soak it all up with." - brant cox
"Seven Grand has been open for over decade, essentially giving it landmark status in the downtown nightlife scene. But you’ll still be hard-pressed to find better whiskey drinks in the city. The massive space feels like a Canadian hunting lodge for billionaires (prepare for aggressive taxidermy). Check out Bar Jackalope in the back too. They specialize in Japanese whiskey and have a secret cigar patio ideal for drinking the night away. " - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
