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
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.
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.
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.
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.
