Review from Jesse T.

I'm very picky about where I "go out" I hate waiting in line to get into a bar, and proceeding to wait even longer to order a drink. This place is not that. It's very spacious, plenty of room for you and anyone else you may have with you to lounge around in one of their couches, or eat at one of their many high top cocktail tables. One of if not both of the owners are almost always around, even behind the bar serving up drinks. Service is always great, and everyone is very warm and welcoming. There's never an Issue with the bar crowd that you may find at other places. The food always looks amazing when it comes out of the kitchen, but I've yet to give it a try. I hear the Chorizo stuffed mushrooms are sublime. Definitely a new local hang out for myself, friends, and co workers.
Just a tip - They have parking behind the bar, so you don't have to park at the pink poodle like I did the first time around. -

$2 wells during happy hour! Their flavored vodkas are apparently always $2 as well, if I heard/remember correctly. We were ready to order at the bar, but as we were putting our coats down, a waitress came over and offered to take our order from our seats although they don't ordinarily do table service. She also gave us a heads up that there would be a pool league there that night, and remembered our names!
The food that we ordered was just standard bar food - though it was super nice of her to not charge me extra for the vegetarian patty substitution. I can't wait to come back for the bottomless mimosas! It's very spacious, and adorably decked out in Star Wars gear. Fortunately my friends are pretty adventurous and won't mind that this is next to a strip club, which I had to park in front of.. but there is a lot you can park in behind the bar that I didn't notice. -

On a Saturday night at around 10 the crowd was really young, and although the atmosphere wasn't particularly agro, I would not have been surprised in the least if a gang fight had broken out. Defo not my style. To boot, one of the bar tenders was busy serving -- slowly -- while the other was utterly consumed in his conversation with a patron -- so consumed, in fact, that he couldn't be bothered to take my order. And the hip-hop karaoke (!) dude was just painful. So I beat feet.
"7 Stars"? Is that supposed to be a joke? -

We came here for the first time last Thursday night around 7pm. The place was quiet and only had a few people sitting at the bar. There were other people setting some things up, which we later found out from our waitress/ the bartender that they were setting up for an art walk in here that started around 8pm. The bartender/ waitress was really nice, and explained to us that the business is new and that tonight was the first time they were going to try serving tables (which I guess, before you would walk up to the bar and order).
She seemed busy and didn't come back after a little while, so we walked up to the bar and ordered a pitcher of beer and their sampler platter (which she said was also new). Good to get a taste of all their appetizers. Everything was pretty average, but I thought the stuffed mushrooms with chorizo were good.
And then we waited. It took a long time to get the platter, and we had finished and waited another 15 minutes or so before they came to take our order. It had gotten busier by then, and the bartender can't be expected to do everything. That's got to be stressful for her- hopefully some hiring is in the owner's future. We placed our diner order, and was told there was only one cook. Well, it looked like to me we were the only ones eating, but just one cook? That poor guy.
It took about an hour for our dinner to come out. We were all hungry. We each ordered a burger- Two of us had the Southwest Burger (I think it was called that), a cheeseburger (which came out wrong- she just wanted cheese and onions and it came out with everything but onions), and I had a bacon cheese burger. We all thought they were good, though. Good flavor and size, but... they were all lukewarm at best. I'm not sure what happened or why they were sitting out long enough to cool down so much, but with one guy running the show, I guess it must be tough. The fries were hot, though.
We walked up to the bar and asked for the check when we were done. I was disappointed. I honestly expected better from all the reviews on Yelp. The atmosphere was fun though, and the decor was great too. Lot of TVs if you're a sports fan, and they have pool and darts. The bartender was really nice and apologetic, I wish I could remember her name. We do want to come back and check it out again, but maybe give them some time to iron a few more wrinkles of their new business first. This place has a lot of potential! -

I am very particular about my "dive bars" and the atmosphere's they create. A few friends of mine introduced me to this bar a few weeks back and I was blown away on many features this has that others lack.
I frequent many a bars near this area and when I first walked in it was a bit of a shocker. The space was huge. The TVS were a plenty. And the proverbial Nerd-Gasm I had with all the Star Wars stuff was something I did not expect. I had been to this bar before it was 7 stars and the face lift that was done truly showed. I would have been more appropriate to cal this "The Cantina" but 7 stars is a good name....
The food they serve was top notch the many times I've been there now.
The drinks - I am very particular as I am a big guy but like my tasty drinks. They had NON-normal vodkas'. Let me explain this. Most bars have various Vodkas - kettle one, Absolute, Grey Goose. They have my favorite - Three Olives "Dude"and my custom drink can be made when bars hold this. That being said that's why I'm pushing my 5 stars on 7 stars....
They have a pay to play Juke Box but they are playing so many good movies and sports on all their large screen TV's I hardly had to use the Juke Box.
2 pool tables with a different color felt than I've seen.
They also have supplies for Beer Pong?! Seriously Beer Pong!
I am trying to find a negative but for my taste when it comes to bars I need three things:
Good Food
Good Drinks
Good Atmosphere
7 stars landed all of them.
--I half expected the traditional Captain Morgan statue with a Jedi Costume and a Light-saber in place of his sword... One can only have A New Hope for this... -

Well, what can I say? The rave reviews lured me in........
I have to say that the pictures posted kind of make this place out to look a lot nicer than it is in person. It is definitely a step up from what it looked like before when it had a different name. My first impression was that the place was a little too dimly lit. It was hard to get someone to help you as I only saw one person (who was behind the bar) for at least 15 minutes. And finally, the tables in the back were full of dirty un-bussed tables and what looked like a beer pong tournament that was abandoned...garbage laying around and all.
Like other reviewers (who I am a bit skeptical of because of the such low activity and high marks) I too, thought the food was good. I ordered the mushroom cheeseburger. It was satisfying and I liked the fries too. The best part was the Blue Moon seasonal blend of beer I had.
Maybe things would have been better if my ketchup wasn't high jacked midway through eating my meal. Same goes for my napkin. Or if I got my beer before waiting for 10 minutes until finally asking about it. (This however, was generously taken off my tab and he apologized as well- thanks for that. Now, THAT I did appreciate). Also, everyone in the bar seemed to be having a decent to good time...that is until the DJ came in and started blasting booty beats loud enough to make my ears bleed. The place isn't the Cow Palace guy, come on' ! Although, we were warned that it was going to get loud by the staff.
All in all, I think the people who run this join were genuinely trying but once they work the kinks out, they will be fine. -

I came here a few months ago and watched the NFC Championship game. This place can be a little sketchy because of the neighborhood but overall it's OK. At the time I wasn't 100% in health and wasn't that hungry. I ordered the chicken fingers and fries. They tasted just like any place that has frozen chicken and fried it to order. A big plus here is that they Pliny the Elder here in bottles. I may come back again.....

Started coming here because I heard there were many TV's on the walls. (think sports OK?)
My husband is all football all the time. So Sunday, we come, we hang, we watch darn near EVERY game!!!
As the Sunday's pass the service has remained great, and they add new items or services all the time.
$10 bottomless mimosas til 4pm... who does that? 7SB&G does
Last week breakfast buffet, (on Sunday), for $10??? and it was really super good food, (minus the guy that took ALL the bacon) again, the cook whipped up more bacon right away to make sure there were more available for others. (it was funny though)
Great family run business!!
in fact we are going again today!
Thanks 7SB&G for providing a fun, non stuffy place to come on a Sunday to watch the game(s). -

A great sports bar! I went on a Sunday for their bottomless mimosas and breakfast buffet. It's not the best foods but it's still freakin' awesome for the price and what they got. I would come here with my friends again. Staff is very attentive and very friendly.

Great neighborhood bar with great food. The happy hour specials make it a great place to stop in on my way home from work. The sliders are awesome and they're served on sweet hawaiian rolls...YUMMY!!
The place has been remodeled with a nice open floor plan and has lots of TVs to watch games and a killer jukebox to crank up the country music!! Great place to come hang out, grab a drink and bite to eat. Love this place!! -

7 Stars Bar and Grill has a great, comfortable feel. There are large T.V.s on the wall playing classic movies, or sports. The original artwork on the walls is gorgeous and isn't as overwhelming as the usual neon signs plastered around bars. The have comfy couches and a section of tables good for eating and mingling.
The bartenders are always smiling and ready to have a great time. They are happy to come up with drink concoctions to suit your mood.
The food is delicious! The hamburgers are filling and best paired with onion rings. Make sure to ask for the homemade ketchup, it adds a new flavor to burgers and fries. The pear salad is not only aesthetically pleasing, but will give your taste buds a run for their money. Make sure to ask about when the home-made Portuguese specials will be available.
Come check it out for yourself! -

Absolutely my favorite dive/not so dive bar. The inside of the bar is clean and has star wars decor... who doesn't love that? There are a lot of TV's and they always have a game or movies on. They have buckets of beers and a wonderful happy hour menu. the food is REALLY good, perfect for drunken munchies. Sundays for the games they had bottomless mimosas and a breakfast buffet... They might do this after football ends?? not sure. they should :) I believe they are going to start having karaoke too! WHOOT!! I adore Maria and Paul and you can feel the love in the place.

The longer this bar is open, the more I like it. They continue to add to their selection of ice cold beers. The food is still delicious and reasonably priced.

For $10 I got Mac n Cheese with salad and chicken. Decent sized portions and tasty! Talked with the owner a bit, super friendly. Quality tv's hanging about and SpikeTV was on showing Jurassic Park, to entertain me as I ate my Mac n Cheese. Not bad for curing my hunger pangs on a random Monday night. Great atmosphere, I'm definitely coming back on Thursday-Saturday nights to check out the DJs and Karaoke, and maybe to play some pool and darts too. I noticed a small lounge area with the couches off to the side too... nice!

They are big Star Wars fans. There's Star Wars items all over the bar. You can't beat the $2 vodka drinks during happy hour. Some days I love the pink lemonaide others the grape. The Tex Mex burger is one of the bests I've ever had!!! The pork sliders are also amazing. But go early because they run out of them fast.
