Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Seven Bar runs a cocktail-first beverage program with a long roster of named, ingredient-specific drinks like Eastside, Westside, Mez You Up, and Black Mamba. House-infused spirits and fresh purees show up in both cocktails and signature lemonades. Happy hour trims $2 off signature cocktails, drops well cocktails to $9, and discounts draft beer, house wine, and lemonades. A dedicated mocktail section adds Purple Haze and Berry Sober, with N/A Ritual spirits available as add-ons.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Eastside, a cucumber-infused gin drink with mint, cucumbers, simple syrup, and lime juice, or the Mez You Up, which uses pineapple-habanero-infused Divino Maquey mezcal with passionfruit, agave, lime, and a salt rim. For a nonalcoholic option, Purple Haze mixes blackberries, agave, lime, and soda water.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This suits drinkers who want a broad, named cocktail list with infused spirits and a straightforward happy hour, as well as those seeking a dedicated mocktail section with N/A spirit add-ons.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window: $2 off signature cocktails, $9 well cocktails, $1 off draft beer, $8 house wines, and $10 signature lemonades.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails run $12–$15; signature lemonades are $11, or $10 during happy hour. Mocktails are $9. Happy hour brings $8 house wines and $9 well cocktails.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program leans on house-infused spirits and fresh purees across a long signature cocktail list, and it pairs that with a dedicated mocktail section that includes N/A Ritual Gin or Tequila as add-ons.
