Bar Jackalope, the whiskey den tucked in the back of Seven Grand, is back. After closing in July 2025, the bar will reopen on Thursday, November 19, with whiskey flights, classic cocktails, and a locker program that lets guests keep their own bottles
on-site.
After its initial debut in 2014, the bar gained a devoted following. Adam Kloos, who took over as Seven Grand’s general manager in October 2025, says that even after Bar Jackalope’s closure, guests would come in asking about reservations. ”We still get questions all the time, and people get super bummed that it’s not open,” he says. “There’s just so much excitement behind it.” Kloos made it his personal project to revive the bar over the last few months.
Bar Jackalope will reopen with a menu of six whiskey cocktails: Old Fashioned, rye Manhattan, Sazerac, sour, julep, and highball. Each highlights a different whiskey, including Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond in the Old Fashioned and Maker’s 46 in the sour. The bar will also serve a bourbon flight for $50 featuring Old Forester Seven Grand Single Barrel, a $110 Scotch-focused executive flight with Glenfiddich 18, and a $62 Japanese flight spanning bottles like Ichiro’s Malt and Grain and Iwai Tradition. “We’re leaning more heavily towards independent bottlings of Scotch and cool releases of Japanese whiskeys,” Kloos says. Eventually, bar bites will join the menu. Bar Jackalope’s membership program, which includes on-site bottle storage and priority reservations, will be available at three monthly tiers: $10 for one bottle stored, $15 for two, and $20 for three or more.
The revived Bar Jackalope retains its original interior with emerald green leather chairs and glossy black leather banquettes. A sturdy wood bar grounds the room, with rows of whiskey bottles tucked in cabinets above and below.
The reopening comes amid a tumultuous few years for Downtown Los Angeles, as restaurants like Rossoblu shutter while others, such as Cole’s and the Pantry Cafe, plot their resurrections. Kloos says that while Seven Grand has been lucky to retain regulars and feel the neighborhood’s support, he hopes Bar Jackalope’s return will draw even more people to the area. “I think right now is a very interesting time to do this,” Kloos says. “It’s a great time to offer some excitement where it seems like everything else is going away. This is kind of rising from the ashes.”
Bar Jackalope is located at 515 W. Seventh Street #200, Los Angeles, CA 90014, at the back of Seven Grand. It will be open Thursday through Saturday evenings.
