$$$$•Speakeasy•4.6(101)Bourbon & Branch is a glimpse back on the 1920's, the era of Prohibition when the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverage was outlawed. You'll experience the ambiance of that time in an actual speakeasy that operated illegally at this location from 1921 to 1933.
There are a variety of ways to experience Bourbon & Branch. Making a reservation for the main bar is highly recommended as we usually reach capacity well in advance. Reserved guests will receive a password for the evening and will be treated to outstanding tableside service.
If you are a cocktail and spirits aficionado, and seeking the highest level of personalized service, then make your reservation at the Wilson & Wilson, the bar hidden inside B&B.
If you'd prefer to keep it casual, you're always welcome to stop by any night to our Library Bar at B&B, where reservations are not required. You'll still need a password to access The Library, but it's not a well kept secret.
We look forward to spoiling you.
