The 700

About The 700

For more than 25 years this has been the neighborhood bar at the gateway to Northern Liberties, and it still works on two levels. Downstairs is a long room trimmed with stained glass, with a deep beer list, cheap cocktails and big screens that make it a home for soccer supporters on match days, plus a sidewalk patio with picnic tables under a timber pergola. Upstairs @ The 700 is a separate space of mismatched sofas, color-washed walls and a lighting rig, set up to feel like a house party, with karaoke, local comedy and dancing filling it most nights. Hours run from 3:30 PM on weekdays and 2 PM at weekends until 2 AM, and the upstairs room peaks late on Friday and Saturday. The bar is Black-owned and women-owned. Google gives it 4.4 across nearly 400 reviews, praising fast service and cold beer; one recent complaint describes a dismissive bartender.
