Ain’t Life Grand?

Seven Grand

Lost downtown? Well, that man on the corner isn’t trying to sell you directions.

Just look for the neon stag’s head. That’s how you’ll know you’ve found Seven Grand, your new favorite bar.

Only blocks from owner Cedd Moses’s other joints, Golden Gopher and Broadway Bar, the English lodge/library-looking gem on the second floor of the old Brock’s Jewelry Emporium is all dark wood, rich leather, plaid carpeting, and friendly taxidermy.

Oh, and lots of whiskey: 125 labels and 75 more on the way. Take advantage of the extra large, extra cold ice cubes in your Maker’s Mark, Booker’s, or 30-year-old Macallan. Or sip one of eighteen beers on tap while you shoot pool or talk hunting — okay, bargain hunting — on the patio. And peek inside the Jackalope Room (available for private parties).

Suddenly going stag doesn’t sound so bad after all.

Seven Grand, 515 West Seventh Street, between Grand and Olive Streets, second floor, Downtown (213-614-0736).
