Bourbon & Branch Reviews
We sat for at least 30 minutes before the server acknowledged us. When she finally came over we placed our order for the app, drinks and food at once. We requested drink refills at least 3 times and finally ally received them 30 minutes later. We finally got our food and there was a piece of hair baked in the burger. Very disappointed as we were not cited to try this place.
Had the speakeasy vibe. Dimly lit. Period decor. Good service and drinks.
If you like Bourbon, books, and peace in the middle of a bustling city, this is your spot.

Bourbon & Branch is a cool, dark, and quiet speakeasy-style bar that offers a unique atmosphere. To gain entry, guests must book a table in advance and navigate the neighborhood's chaotic surroundings. Once inside, a security guard welcomes visitors to a dimly lit space where a full cocktail menu awaits. Bourbon-forward drinks are the specialty, but creative concoctions featuring gin, tequila, and mezcal are also available. The gimlet is a standout.
The atmosphere is enhanced by a great mix of music, featuring artists like Leadbelly and Nina Simone. The knowledgeable staff not only serve drinks but also share insights about the spirits and the music. While the password requirement can feel a bit unnecessary since reservations are needed, it adds to the unique experience.
Everyone on staff is dedicated to the theme, and although there are house rules to follow, understanding the concept adds to the ambiance. Even during slower times, service remains exemplary, with bartenders eager to discuss or make cocktails from their extensive catalogue. Bourbon & Branch is a great spot to relax and unwind, and it comes highly recommended for anyone who loves old-school cocktails.
