Bartender's choice!! If you like gin go for the Corpse Reviver # 2.
Rich DanielJune 10, 2015
Killer cocktails, live jazz.
Annette ShadeJuly 7, 2011
Best custom cocktails ... Just tell the bartender what you're in the mood for
Sam KrasnikJanuary 31, 2016
Bespoke cocktails, get creative!
FloSeptember 1, 2012
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.
Rainbow LAAugust 21, 2015
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
Nilesh ParikhMarch 26, 2012
Try the tattle tale. Great off menu Scotch based treat.
Holger LüdorfMay 23, 2013
It's hot outside? Try a Rye Fizz. Refreshing and D-lish!

The best NYC speakeasy. live jazz weeknights....
Andrew JJune 16, 2013
Good jazz spot. Come before 10am
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.
Arthur MitchellMarch 1, 2023
Decent cocktails at fair prices.
Geoffrey LewisJuly 8, 2013
Great drinks, but don't forget, it's cash only.

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.

Carpano Antica in the manhattans and friendly bartenders : )

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.

Cocktails, ambience
Lisa ZawackiSeptember 10, 2011
The silver fox is fantastic. Gin, amaretto, egg white, what could go wrong!?
Can KeskinOctober 31, 2014
Some of the best cocktails in town
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.
Lauren LachsOctober 2, 2012
You can't go wrong with Bartender's Choice here.
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

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 :)
TaylorMay 31, 2012
Great sazerac is just one of the many great drinks here.
Citybeams.comJuly 1, 2012
Voted one of the best first date drink spots in Manhattan
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.
Prasid PathakDecember 20, 2016
Line on weekends. But feels like a real speakeasy

If you get a seat they'll bring you large delicious pretzels!
Jessica LDecember 11, 2011
They have the best napkins aside from amazing drink concoctions
Graham LindnerJanuary 6, 2016
Live jazz Sunday-Thursday.
Kathryn DApril 23, 2016
Be warned: cash only.
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.
Alvin Black IIIMay 3, 2012
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.
Elisabeth BrombergApril 7, 2011
Order a Tom Collins with whatever berry suits your fancy. Absolutely divine.
LillianApril 14, 2013

Order the Kentucky Maid for a twisted whiskey drink.
AmyMay 14, 2010
skip the menu and tell the bartender what you like. You will be rewarded with a great tasting drink.
Léna Le RollandAugust 30, 2013
Cocktails are amazing
