    A little nondescript from the outside but fantastic once you get in. Excellent cocktails, great speakeasy atmosphere

    All the waitress's cocktail suggestions were perfect. By far an amazing cocktail place. The old sixties music adds a nice touch.

    A nice, relaxing lounge to grab a drink. Lines can be long on weekends but it's worth it, especially if you love a classic jazzy atmosphere.

    Love this hidden gem. Very small and usually always packed. But they make some of the best drinks in NYC.

    a hidden bar in the west village that is great for an intimate rendezvous, date, or small gathering of friends. Love the gin cocktails here.

    The line moves relatively quickly. Once you're inside, just tell the bartender your tastes. You won't be disappointed.

    This place is awesome. Let the bartender make you something custom - just tell them what you like (sour, sweet, bitter, etc) and they will create something delicious for you.

    The bar is already perfect, but on Sunday nights a small jazz trio fills the small underground room with piano, drums, and standup bass. Enjoy with their excellent libations.

    The smooth jazz music and the even smoother cocktails transport you back in time to the days of Prohibition at this petite speakeasy.

    I just tell the bartender what I like and they typically whip up something ridiculously good. Small space so can get really crowded.

    Little Branch is still a standard-bearer for the well-crafted cocktails in a whimsically serious place but w/ diminished service at the tables, grab a seat by the bar (still has free pretzels, tho)

    One of New York's old-guard cocktail bars; pick your spirit and opt for the Bartender's Choice.

    Amazing cocktails, and if you hang out by the bar you get to watch the bartenders work their magic. 😎

    Amazing cocktails. You might have to wait outside, but it's worth it. If you're overwhelmed by the menu, let the bartender help you decide. They definitely know their stuff.

    Superbly made drinks created by a team from the Milk & Honey family, an intimate setting complete with a piano, and it's underground.

    Here’s what you do: Go to the bar, tell the bartender what your liquor of choice is, and watch in amazement as they turn that choice into a near-perfect dram of deliciousness.

    Great speak easy spot in the west village. The live jazz band on sundays plays classics. Solid whiskey sour #jazznostalgia

    A cool cocktail bar with live music on most days. It's quite loud inside but the cocktails are great.

    Worth the wait. Make sure to ask for a table when you get in. Also, free pretzels if you ask for them.

    The French East India cocktail is a delicious rum drink with a kick. If you like "Zombies" you'll love this!

    If you like Bourbon, don't hesitate to order the "Stone Fence"; good Bourbon and fresh organic apple cider make this a concoction that tastes out of this world!

    $18 cocktail great mix, no cover fee, tight space, quick ~10 min wait on a Friday night at 9pm, live jazz is only Sun-Thurs

    Cash only and very awkward space. Luckily the cocktails are excellent and if you can grab the booth by the piano - don't leave.

    One of the daughter speakeasy to Milk and Honey, Little Branch is a dimly lit cocktail lounge that when you walk in you will feel like you are in a different era. Read more

    Pick a liquor, then ask for a shaken version and a straight up version. Play around. Fun entrance.

    Classy cocktails in a sneaky hideaway. Get the rum Rickey or Moscow mule with homemade ginger beer.

    Favorite speak-easy bar in town. The bees knees and East Side are my favorite cocktails, that is if you like stuff on the sweeter side.

    Any drink they make you with ginger is heavenly. And sometimes they have live jazz too. Perfect mix.

    Speakeasy - if you don't like the cocktail menu, ask for a surprise from one of the talented bartenders

    Classic. Perfect. Little Branch has a wide selection of great drinks, but the Old Fashioned is one of the best in Manhattan.

    Casino: gin, Maraschino, lemon, orange bitters. You can't go wrong with Bartender's Choice, though.

    Try the following: Monte Carlo - manly rancher whiskey drink, Kentucky Maid - slightly more fruity whiskey drink, fernet branca and applejack thing (forget the name), stay up late (gin and cognac)

    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.
