Top 100 Beer Bars
Congratulations to 1702 for making the 2014 Draft magazine's 100 best beer bars in America for the sixth year in a row. Oddly enough no Phoenix bars or any other beer bars in Arizona were on the list. 1702 serves an ever-changing selection of 46 imported beers and domestic micro-brews on draught and many more by the bottle. P.S. Arizona Beer Week happens Feb. 15-21.  Visit 1702
