Alex RobertsonDecember 11, 2019I got there at 7 but my friend got there at 7:30--weeknight!--and it was already too slammed. would be cool to get a booth here but damn
Ani ZFebruary 11, 2014The line gets a bit long for no reason. This place is known for their designer drinks. Get the diablo cocktail #soYumYum
Matthew ColemanDecember 12, 2014The most perfect bar in the city. Bartenders choice all night long. Remember cash only and be ready to wait! Such a gem
Alexandra LevitasMarch 20, 2017Ask for recommendations! They really know how to make a drink to match your tastes!
Matthew FergusonJanuary 7, 2017The French East India cocktail is a delicious rum drink with a kick. If you like "Zombies" you'll love this!
Ravin DaveJanuary 3, 2010Great libations- in either booths or bar. Sam the mix master serv perfect complimentary cocktails to the down-tempo live jazz. Be sure to tell him of your likes when ordering the bartender's choice..
Danielle DavisAugust 21, 2014Great jazz spot with classic cocktails and homey booths for a romantic date night
Saarim ZamanMarch 18, 2017Delicious sazeracs. FYI it's cash only and the cocktails are kind of expensive.
CompassJuly 24, 2013Custom-made cocktails and low ceilings give Little Branch an air of mystique. It may feel like a speakeasy, but no passwords are required.

Tiffany HaydenOctober 29, 2011Just tell the bartender what you like and he'll make a crazy concoction for you. My first one had an egg white and was surprisingly tasty.
Zeba SiddiqiApril 4, 2016Go for the bartender's choice cocktails! Be ready to wait for an hour or so to enter
Alex RavenelSeptember 6, 2014Bartenders know what's up, so don't hesitate to trust their suggestions. Cash only.
Giulio del BufaloApril 18, 2013Get there early to grab one of the cool tables in the back. Rye Fizz was delicious.
Theresa RoldanNovember 29, 2015Not a lot of space but worth the wait. Theirs a place on the menu for a custom cocktail and the bartender does not disappoint
Joanne ReinardOctober 18, 2016Such nice cocktail list! Very special atmosphere but welcome to a speakeasy!
If you're hungry but don't want to leave, order the Old Pepper. It has whiskey or bourbon and several parts hot sauce.
Will VanderhoefNovember 28, 2012Often overused for first dates, so don't. Definitely a top notch bar but expect to pay $14 for a drink. Get a reservation.
Delicious cocktails in a hidden spot. You might have to wait in line.
Adam McCueSeptember 1, 2011Order a Quill. It's a Negroni (gin, vermouth, bitters) with an absinthe rinse. Serious business.
Christian BorgesSeptember 2, 2011Once you find it (on the West corner of Leroy and 7th Ave. South.), get the Ward 8. Mindscrambler - hurt so good! :-)
Noah XifrOctober 20, 2014Lovely hot toddy on a chilly night. Live jazz Sunday to Thursday 10:30 to 1a.
Angela BoldreyDecember 30, 2014I left my drink up to the bar tender and it was fantastic! Have never been to a place like it.
If this is your first time at Little Branch, you must do Bartender's Choice. They'll shoot you a couple questions and make you the perfect drink. Trust them.
