My group and I had a great experience here. We came on a Thursday night after a wedding rehearsal. It wasn’t very crowded and exactly the vibe we were looking for. Emily, the bar back, took great care of our group.. actually she was much more attentive and friendly than the actual bartender. You can tell she has a passion for her craft. We were all visiting from out of town, but will definitely return if we were in the area.

Amazing selection of whiskey, and reasonably priced cocktails nestled in the center of downtown. Grab a dram, play some pool, and learn about the back bar. An educated staff delivers great cocktails, or a perfect pour of an exclusive whiskey. Pushing whiskey culture forward in Austin one glass at a time.

Emily was an awesome server/bar back. I wanted a sweeter old fashioned and instead of making my original old fashioned sweet, she recommended a sweeter whiskey and it was perfect! I love it when the bar staff knows what they’re taking about and she definitely knows! This bar is the perfect amount of chill with the perfect about of fun, thanks to Emily and getting to know our wedding party!

The bar is gorgeous. The whiskey, whisky and scotch collections are incredible and nothing I have seen in Austin. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I have made some repeat visits already and found the service and cocktails to be consistent.

We read about Seven Grand in Eater and finally got the chance to check it out this past Monday. First thing I will say is the interior gets it just right. It has the distinguished whiskey bar feeling, with lots of Mahogany, low lighting and nice little accents, like a large portrait of Johnny and June. The bar itself is one of the nicest in the city and feels as if it could have been in place since the 1800s.
Drinks are solid whiskey drinks with a never ending supply of the finest dark spirits. And every person who works here goes far out of their way to help with suggestions as well as to just generally shoot the shit, which is nice.
All in all, it has the trappings of a laid back, with just the right amount of sophisticated swank, watering hole to widdle away the hours.

The staff here is fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. They are always eager to give a suggestion — there are a million different types of whiskey, so it is helpful to have a guide — and the concoctions they come up with are on point. Brita is awesome and introduced me to Seven Grand’s Whiskey Society, which is a class that combines whiskey tasting with education and instruction. I also love the bar’s decor and the central location. Oh, and they have a great happy hour (seven days a week)! All around, great place and has become a new Austin staple for me.

With over 400 different types of whiskey, bourbon and scotch, Seven Grande has the drink for you.Not sure what you’ll like? Ask on of the staff and take advantage of the expert advice they provide to find your blend of choice. For being so close to 6th, the bar has a chill vibe that almost seems out of place, but is very relaxing.

Seven Grand is a beautiful escape from the wild downtown Austin scene. It has a dark, sexy, cozy atmosphere with a library of hundreds of whisk(e)y expressions. The staff is well trained and very welcoming. Happy hour runs from 5-8 EVERY DAY of the week and the menu features a completely delicious selection of cocktails for only $5-$6. Classic cocktails are the main focus of their offerings (other than the 400+ whiskies on the wall). You do not have to spend a million bucks here to sip on brilliant whiskey and get educated on what’s in your glass. There are three gorgeous pool tables, a well-selected juke box, and a large patio for smoking cigars – which are also on the menu for excellent prices! Make sure you ask about their Whiskey Society program!

Great place! Cool vibe with a wall full of whiskey! Kind of hipster but not enough to drive you nuts. Pool tables etc and some really knowledgeable bartenders!

If you’re looking to get away from 6th and enjoy a nice whiskey with a coworker, friend, family, or client then this is where you want to be. Amazing selection of whiskey and knowledgeable bartenders that make sure you’re taken care of. A selection of beers are on tap for those who arent ready to take the jump.

Awesome bar with great collection of stuff that’s hard to find. Blantons, Michters, Pappy, you name it. I’ll be back.

A legit whisky bar invades Austin.

Sick of getting sloppy on sixth street? Stroll one block up and sip whisky like a gentleman. The interior is…well, let’s be polite and say it’s “spartan.” Three pool tables, a few sit-down tables, and a beautiful, beautiful bar. The entire space is dominated by 400+ bottles of whisky. Rye? They got it. Bourbon? Yup. Scotch? Of course. You absolutely won’t have a problem finding your favorite (or a few new ones) here.

We met up here on a random Wednesday and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Our bartender was attentive, though I suppose she pretty much had to be at that point. Pleasantly, Seven Grand is the farthest thing from pretentious. I suppose when you’re a block away from the homeless shelter, it’s kinda hard to be.

Their happy hour runs until 8pm (!) and has a decent selection of cocktails for $5. The Boubon Rose and Gentlemen’s Buck are both excellent happy hour choices. It’s entirely possible to have a good time for $20 + tip, which is refreshing for an upscale drinking joint in the heart of downtown. A word of caution though: if the cheap cocktails segue into their vast selection of aged whisky, your wallet can take a beating pretty quickly.

Protip: The sweet spot here is weekdays around 6pm. Street parking is free at that point, and you still have two hours left to enjoy happy hour.

As Austin’s culinary and libation scenes continue to evolve, Seven Grand is the type of place that makes me wish I lived just a little closer to downtown.

3 pool tables and more whiskey than you could imagine. I love the Southpaw cocktail and the beers on draft. Outside has a nice patio with long tables. The painting of Johnny Cash is killer.

If you’re a whiskey drinker, you’re gonna love this place. Over 400 different types of whiskey to choose from and a cocktail list to match. The atmosphere is super swanky but you don’t have to dress up. Do you!

And don’t worry if you don’t drink whiskey, they have a full bar and wine for the ladies. Don’t miss out!
