First look: Bar Seven

Bar 1

Owned by Jay Kawakami of Tantriq Entertainment, Bar 1 is located just to the left as you walk in the door. It's brightly lit, with attractive, expensive drinks — including a bottle of Johnnie Walker's Blue Label, which goes for $35 a shot — showcased on glass shelves. Haley Kwok, a bartender who previously worked on the lounge side of the old Venus, was running it last Friday.
