This Murray Hill speakeasy is the sister bar to Little Branch, & is a welcome addition to the sports bar-packed area. Do the Bartender's Choice if you really want to try a different & inventive drink.

Great cocktails at this hidden speakeasy. Came with a group of friends for casual drinks for my bday and it was a chill, never too crowded. High quality drinks take a while bc of just 1 bartender.

For those of you who have wandered over this side of town and wonder whether this place compares to its little southern cousin: yes, it absolutely does. Come on Mondays for the live bluegrass.

Really nice place in an area that doesn't do cocktail lounges too well. Really tasty cocktails and our bartender was great! She really knew her stuff. Will be back!
Ben HantenSeptember 20, 2013
Top five cocktail bars I've ever been to... and that's a lot. The bartenders take huge pride in the work they do. Humble, pride. Highly, highly impressed.
Chris RDecember 24, 2013
Given its lineage, you would expect great cocktails here, and they certainly deliver. It's definitely a wonderful addition to Midtown. For ambience though, can't beat the original Little Branch.

One of the best cocktail places in Murray hill, although it's not that hard to stand out among all the fratty Irish pubs in this area. Decent cocktails and good ambiance.

First floor is standing room only, while the upstairs has tables and another bar; the bartenders are stellar, so go for the bartender's choice, or try the Cock 'n Bull special

Get the "bartenders choice". Tell them a few ingredients you like and let them do what they do best. Intimate and cozy. Often live jazz.

A hidden gem in Murray hill for anyone above the age of 25. Bartenders make delicious, strong, customized cocktails. Cozy and dark, good for dates.

Fabric coasters and single huge ice blocks are the cherry on top to their unique cocktail concoctions. They don't skimp on the alcohol.Only buzzkill was the wait time (takes forever to make one drink)
Jason ChuangAugust 9, 2014
As it's in the same family of bars as Little Branch and Dutch Kills you can pretty much get the same drinks, like the electric current fizz.
Chrissy KDecember 21, 2015
Craft cocktails. My go to drink anywhere- bartenders choice with a spicy tequila
bhimtasticSeptember 28, 2012
Fabric coasters were a nice touch. Bartender was happy to discuss my likes and dislikes resulting in exactly what I wanted to sip on in my hand. Ginger candy was delicious.

Cute spot that has a live band now and then. It gets kind of loud but the yummy personalized drinks make it worth it.
David DunhillSeptember 18, 2015
Great cocktail bar. Come early to avoid a rush. Bummer note: prices have been upped to $15/drink.
HenaliNovember 14, 2014
Cozy little spot in murray hill! Sister of little branch. When in doubt, ask the bartender for their recommendation.
Monica CullenDecember 26, 2015
Great menu, but the bartenders can make you whatever you want. Seating is upstairs, but gets crowded!

If you don't see anything that you fancy, just tell the bartender what you like. Let him or her surprise you!

Good cocktails and drinks. If you get hungry you can go to Cask across the street for dinner

The Rum Torchlight is delicious! Rum, fresh lime juice, honey and hot sauce served on the rocks with cayenne pepper.
Christin GabrielNovember 14, 2015
Stone Fence is excellent but—like many of their cocktails—not very daring. Great ambiance though!
Tayler TrottierNovember 30, 2012
Bartenders are extremely pleasant and lovely! The Whiskey Fix is amazing. But Bartender's Choice is always a fun gamble.
Lakshmi SDecember 8, 2013
Knowledgeable bartender = Spectacular drink. Ask for something with citrus and ginger that's not too sweet.
Tim BrownSeptember 12, 2012
Solid cocktails. Love the standing only lower floor. Definitely trust the bartender recommendations - they're fantastic.
DinaApril 24, 2014
Llittle Branch's sister speakeasy. Less sexy and more hectic (younger, rowdy crowd) Good drinks but come early or very very late.
Melisa AvciNovember 4, 2016
Loved it! Great high quality cocktails and nice atmosphere.
Colin KeoghNovember 22, 2013
Ask for a traditional whiskey sour. You won't be disappointed. Just be ready for the egg whites.

Pricey cocktails, nice ambience. Get the bartenders choice and sit on the second floor
NathanJuly 27, 2015
Sure, the vibe isn't as sexy as at Little Branch, but the drinks are just as top notch.
J RoNovember 22, 2012
the best way to order your drink, tell the bartender what you like/don't like and they'll make their own concoction for you.
Kelsey CookNovember 10, 2013
Really unique cocktail menu. Try the Diablo for a nice winter twist on tequila!
Pavan KulkarniMarch 12, 2017
By far the best cocktails I've had. The bartender really knows what he's doing.

Bluegrass on Mondays and Wednesdays. One of the best spots for a cocktail in MidTown.
MarvinApril 17, 2018
Juan lockwood. The chocolate us a great finish to this mezcal.
Affinia Hotel CollectionFebruary 19, 2014
Middle Branch is a cocktail bar located a few blocks away from the Affinia Dumont that specializes in making cocktails tailored to your personal tastes.
Amanda SchneiderJanuary 24, 2015
The downstairs area is great for a casual cocktail, or there are tables upstairs
Quan NguyenMay 5, 2017
Great cocktails with awesome low-key vibe.
M HOctober 22, 2016
Hidden spot to enjoy some really nice cocktails.
ThreedukesDecember 6, 2016
Expert bartenders. Smoothly perfect ambiance. A great joint.
Emily WMarch 24, 2013
They now take credit cards and it's a gamechanger...in the game of dropping $100 on cocktails in one go.
Kelsey LAugust 2, 2019
Go off menu and ask the bartender for recommendations, they won't disappoint!
Graham LindnerJanuary 6, 2016
If you have to get cocktails in Midtown, this is your spot. Stay downstairs.

Ask for the Gordon's Breakfast. It's a spicy gin cocktail that's absolutely delicious.
Sunny LeeOctober 11, 2012
Ask the bartender for something French martini-esque but not as strong with blackberries. So yummie!
ElizabethMarch 2, 2014
Great speakeasy NYC bar!! Not too crowded, great vibe A+++++
Grace ChungAugust 22, 2012
amazing cocktails, great ambiance. ask for luis to make you a cocktail of his choice!
Sherry WangJanuary 2, 2015
The cocktails are inventive but executed in a way that you can only taste the booze... They certainly don't taste bad though, and I guess you're getting more bang for your buck with the high alcohol
Emily KolodnerMarch 17, 2015
Bartender's choice doesn't disappoint! I had something reminiscent of an old fashioned that also had old spice in it. Could've had seven.
