Little Branch

"Read a decade old reddit AMA by the owner of this place and found it when I visited Manhattan. Amazing place. Love the speakeasy. Drinks are fantastic and delicious. Music is not too loud. The space gets a bit loud as people get drunk but then the more alcohol drowns it all out. Kudos to this place."

"Came here around 9:30pm on a Friday and was able to get in without a wait. They have a downstairs area, which is louder and more busy and a street level speak easy type of bar that is more intimate and quieter. We were able to get a table at the street level bar and were very happy with the service. If you are looking for non-alcoholic options, they have multiple fresh juices available."

"One of my favorite cocktail bars in the city! The drinks they make are so good and you can tell the bartenders have passion for what they do. It does get crowded and the jazz does get loud but the drinks makes it worth it"

"Didn’t catch the vibe here at all. it is supposed to be a cocktail bar, but feels more like a basement dive bar. Very poorly looking back bar, cramped on a weekend day and mediocre cocktails… The sitting area has a long waitlist (~1h for a walkin) Also the layout felt weird. Really more like someone’s basement and not an actual cocktail bar"

"We walked in on a Friday ~5:15pm without a reservation and were happy to score two janky stools by the door. Cool. Dark. Well worn. Really felt like a speakeasy. Someone was late for their shift, so a lone bartendar was working extra quick/hard to serve everyone until help arrived. Our cocktails were excellent!"
