I had an amazing time at District 7 Social! The vibe is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Travis and Mark were exceptional hosts, always ensuring we had everything we needed. The highlight of the night was definitely the espresso martinis—they're some of the best I’ve ever had! The Professor added a fun twist to the evening with engaging conversations. Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy great drinks and company. Highly recommend!!

What a fun place to hang out with friends and family! The servers are very sweet. I loved the beer card which allows us to try many beers in different size glass and get charged accordingly on our Credit card on tap. Try a different version of the bowling game there.

Pour your own beer, throw pins, and play golf & ping pong. Self serve craft beer on the wall you buy by the oz on a loaded card. What’s not to like??? Perfect place to go with friends for some entertainment. Only food we had was steak & pickles, was fantastic charcuterie’ish plate. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.

We stopped in here because of the great painted mural on the outside of the building. They have a ton of different bourbons to try from the area. The staff is a lot of fun and we enjoyed hanging out here for tasting and later mixed drinks. We also played a few games of duck pins.

5 Stars If you’re ever lucky enough to pull up a barstool at District 7, do yourself a favor and meet “The Professor.” This guy isn’t just a bartender—he’s a cocktail architect with a PhD in good vibes. Watching him mix a drink is like watching an artist paint or a musician compose—every pour, stir, and garnish is precise yet effortless, like a symphony in a glass. Beyond his craft, The Professor’s personality makes you feel like you’re at a friend’s house rather than a bar. Need a laugh? He’s got a joke. Bad day? He’s got a remedy. Unsure what to drink? He’ll whip up something better than you could’ve imagined. The man’s cocktail knowledge is as deep as his charm—both refreshing and dangerously addictive. Simply put, The Professor is the reason you’ll keep coming back to District 7. Five stars for the drinks, six stars for him.

My daughter had her 21st birthday party here this past weekend and I was really impressed. The atmosphere is amazing. My daughter and her college friends were able to drink and watch the tournament. The teenage boys played golf. Even the older relatives had fun bowling. It was perfect for all ages. The pricing was great and the service was awesome. Austin went above and beyond to help us. Even though they were short handed Mark and Az pitched in and made the party a success. At the end Austin gave us a tour of the cool speak easy room. I will definitely be back to check that out. Overall I was really happy with my experience there.

Great food and atmosphere. We came for lunch. I had the meatball spaetzle and cucumber salad and my friend had the chicken Schnitzel sandwich. Delicious! We will be back to try more menu items and the beer on tap, plus the photo ops are great, such a pretty venue.

While waiting to begin our a 3 hour food & beverage tour with Bites of the Bluegrass four of us stopped in for drinks at District 7 Social Hall! We sat at the bar, our bartender was Austin, he was so knowledgeable, a definite mixologist and made us feel welcome! My favorite beverage our whole day in the Distillery District was District 7’s delicious & well balanced Elderberry Lemon Drop Martini, not too tart & not too sweet, just perfect! When our tour was completed due to our great first impression of Austin and District 7 we decided to go back in for more drinks! We sat at the bar & we were happy to see that Austin was still working so we requested him for more great service and delicious drinks! We played mini duck pin bowling there too which was fun! Definitely want to go back!
