This is a little gem of a bar in Emeryville. The decor and ambience are chic. The atmosphere is laid back. You can find a lot of friendly locals here. On this occasion I had a delicious bacon burger paired with a boozy horchata cocktail while I waited for my train at the nearby Amtrak station. Hats off to the fun waitstaff!

Everything was amazing. Just simply really good food. I can’t wait to come back and try more on the menu. The Caesar salad, steak frites, and deviled eggs were all hits

Ordered a Pumpkin latte, a gluten free cowboy cookie and a sesame bagel with cream cheese, Avocado and greens. Everything was absolutely delicious and felt very healthy while also feeling like an absolute treat. Chef's kiss! And the service was very friendly. I don't get to stop here much but it's always treat when I can.

I only started going out to bars within the last year, and this spot has easily become my regular bar. All of the staff are super friendly, the music is always really good, drinks are always on point and the food is delicious! If you’re looking for good vibes with no drama, then I highly suggest coming to branchline!

I used to be more of a regular here. With the recent price increases it's more of a special occasion stop now. The cocktails are still great though. Happy hour is decent and there is a small outdoor seating area now (thanks COVID!) Inside is cozy and welcoming. It can get loud as the evening goes though. Menu is small, but I've never had a bad meal here. Service is very good considering how packed it can get inside such a little joint.
Parking: I usually ride my bicycle and lock it up at one of the racks conveniently located directly out front.
Food was fabulous! Cajun shrimp were outstanding, savory and big! The tomato soup and grilled cheese were amazing. Drinks were also fun and tasty. Atmosphere was great.

Great place to chill out with very limited seating capacity due to its size. They also have seating available outside.
Parking: They don't have their own parking lot. There's plenty of street parking.
Been here three times in less than a year and the first two times were great. Great service, great cocktails, and tasty food that hit the spot. But this time we noticed something had changed. The service and cocktails were still great, and the food tasted good but wow, the portions were shockingly small. Like half of what we got last time. The fries covered only half the plate. The “full” salad was half the size it used to be. And the bowl of Brussels sprouts—that arrived ten minutes after we’d finished the fries and salad—was also half-empty. Wow. I am fine paying over $100 for dinner and cocktails for two, but this wasn’t dinner. It was snacks. We left hungry.

Was greeted with a glass of water upon walking in. Definitely a nice touch. Great music, great atmosphere and the food smelled great but I only came for a beer lol nice prices too. I recommend either the "Thizzler on the Roof" cocktail or the Great Notion Ripe IPA. If You're on a layover at the Thruway of Emeryville Amtrak Station, I highly suggest walking that one block to this bar!!! Now I found a 'home' when traveling to and from work and stuck in a layover limbo
