The 702, The Deuce. Five stars across the board. I don’t give that rating very often because not many places deserve it, but The 702 delivers, every step of the way. As they like to put it themselves, “It’s a Five Star Dive Bar.” Tucked away at, you guessed it, 702 Jefferson Street, it’s got a surprising amount of room for a relatively small place. Still, there’s plenty of seating for small and big-ish groups, with real live music on a very regular basis (not just the weekends) and karaoke/specials during the week. When the weather is nice, you can hang out on the nice patio out front, complete with fireplace, comfy wicker chairs, umbrellas and table service. On summer nights, the 702.5 fires up out behind the bar, with a big dang stage, great music and a full, outside bar. And then there’s the food. It’s not a huge menu, but that’s okay. What they do, they do well. While other bars may claim to have the Best Burger in town, the 702 actually produces that burger, with locally sourced ingredients. The other menu items are great too, like the ham & cheese sandwich, the quesadillas (not just cheese and tortillas) and the potato soup is always out dang standing. Though it’s been around for a while, the building itself is still in pretty good shape, and getting better all the time. The owner makes sure to keep the place looking good, with nice upgrades showing up on a regular basis. No review would be complete without a visit to the head, the latrine, the water closet, the bathroom. It’s surprising how many places don’t get this very important part of the bar right. The Men’s room, though small, is always functional and clean, and that’s a huge plus. On summer nights, there are additional portables out back, which helps because it can get crowded out there. Like any place, the staff really makes the bar, and again, the 702 does it right. You’ll never be waiting for your drink because one of the staff is always right there, always friendly, always taking care of the customers. They rock. If you’ve been there, you know. If you haven’t, you should go. Really. Like, today. Just go. And, as always, don't forget to tip your server.
The best burger in Midland and an awesome bar staff. My wife and I love going there for an hour or two away from the kids. Highly recommended.
This was a Dive Bar before dive bars were cool and it has always been cool. Live music, real people, and the best burger in Midland!!! Best Burger I have ever had!
Always a great experience. a definite must try for burgers and soup, and quesadillas plus a lot more. Cold beer and liquor
Great place. Very clean. Very good food.
Great bar! Great atmosphere! Live music every Friday and Saturday! Drinks are reasonable. Had a great time
We really like this place! Very friendly, great beer selection and GREAT hamburgers! Very relaxing environment.
What a gem! The vibe is quiet but festive, fun, and friendly. The cleanest bar I've seen. Service was quick, server/drink slinger/cook was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The burger was The Bomb! Grilled bun, cooked just right, and my beer served in a frosted mug. Two days in a row after my first visit, and I'll be looking forward to another visit soon!
