Bourbon & Branch

Bourbon & Branch review Rate it

While many speakeasies were essentially repurposed basements, storerooms or even secret floors in hotels, their modern-day facsimiles are anything but bare bones. Bourbon & Branch may be ultra-stylish (and have a cocktail list to match), but it has somehow managed to rekindle the spirit of the speakeasy. Reservations are required (that's also when you'll learn the password to gain entry) and the only indication that there is anything housed in the dark, corner building is the 'Anti-Saloon League' sign (a nod to an actual organisation) that hangs outside. The interior is dim and the booths are designed to be a bit tight but that's all part of the charm, as is the hidden latch in the bookcase that opens the door to a secret, second bar.
