Best custom cocktails ... Just tell the bartender what you're in the mood for
Alejandro HoyoJuly 12, 2016
Bartender's choice!! If you like gin go for the Corpse Reviver # 2.

Killer cocktails, live jazz.

Ask for an Old Fashioned or Monte Carlo. Both are divine.

A good Speakeasy, if you can go when they play live music its even better.
Sam KrasnikJanuary 31, 2016
Bespoke cocktails, get creative!

Rip Sasha Petraske so sorry to hear about your passing. You are the only true mixology steward. You were never a bro, a doosh with a beard and tattoos! Rip

Try the tattle tale. Great off menu Scotch based treat.

The best NYC speakeasy. live jazz weeknights....
Adam LernerNovember 6, 2012
Perhaps it was just the moment, but Little Branch was far-off the standards set by other NYC mixology peers. Poor service, a cocktail menu mostly of standards, and a damp room. Many better options.
Holger LüdorfMay 23, 2013
It's hot outside? Try a Rye Fizz. Refreshing and D-lish!
Andrew JJune 16, 2013
Good jazz spot. Come before 10am
Geoffrey LewisJuly 8, 2013
Great drinks, but don't forget, it's cash only.
Arthur MitchellMarch 1, 2023
Decent cocktails at fair prices.

Carpano Antica in the manhattans and friendly bartenders : )

This is my favorite cocktail bar in NYC, by far-- they've made some of the best I've had. Could spend hours at the bar watch the able bartenders make drinks.
Mick BMarch 18, 2012
Nice location, decent ambiance. After descending the stairs, you look around expecting more but find less. The live music rescues the semi-anticlimactic experience. It's alright, but have a Plan B.
Lisa ZawackiSeptember 10, 2011
The silver fox is fantastic. Gin, amaretto, egg white, what could go wrong!?

If you have trouble deciding what to order, let them decide for you. Ask for the Bartender's Choice and tell them what flavors/liquors you like.
Can KeskinOctober 31, 2014
Some of the best cocktails in town
Lauren LachsOctober 2, 2012
You can't go wrong with Bartender's Choice here.

Same owner as Milk and Honey - amazing cocktails such as Chicago Fizz, Army + Navy, Blackberry Rumbler, etc etc
Rocio RMay 4, 2012
Let te bartender mix you a good one, sit back and enjoy :)
Johnny MalangoneMay 4, 2010
Don't order from the menu. Tell your server what you like and have the mixologist surprise. I suggest anything with fresh ginger. Yummmm

Voted one of the best first date drink spots in Manhattan
TaylorMay 31, 2012
Great sazerac is just one of the many great drinks here.

If you get a seat they'll bring you large delicious pretzels!
tanya brownJune 23, 2010
A thirteen dollar cocktail that is worth every penny. Forget the menu - have the mixologist cater something to your specific taste buds.
Jessica LDecember 11, 2011
They have the best napkins aside from amazing drink concoctions
Prasid PathakDecember 20, 2016
Line on weekends. But feels like a real speakeasy
Graham LindnerJanuary 6, 2016
Live jazz Sunday-Thursday.

fantastic dark n' stormys (rum+ginger beer) here!
ShinaAugust 24, 2014
If you need a warm drink on a cold night. Or for that cold. Come here.
Jake SinsheimerApril 3, 2016
If you like only being able to pay in cash, not being able to see the menu without your phones flashlight, and poor service this place is for you. If you're not a pretentious douche look elsewhere.
Kathryn DApril 23, 2016
Be warned: cash only.
Elisabeth BrombergApril 7, 2011
Order a Tom Collins with whatever berry suits your fancy. Absolutely divine.
Lillian LinApril 14, 2013

Order the Kentucky Maid for a twisted whiskey drink.
EmmanualJanuary 8, 2013
Go on a Sunday night to avoid the crowd
AmyMay 14, 2010
skip the menu and tell the bartender what you like. You will be rewarded with a great tasting drink.
