B&B


Just a quick bar review for you today-

For Cory's Bday, Jen reserved the private room at Bourbon and Branch on Jones (near Geary).

I had checked out their site before the event and was excited about going, but a bit apprehensive about the bar. I love bourbon, but I was worried that the bar and their house rules would be annoying or that it would be too shiishy.

But nope- we had Yanni the bartender in the party room pouring some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. I didn't even have a manhattan- I had one of their "Revolver"s which was bourbon, orange bitters, and tia maria (yes, that sounds weird, but I swear it was really nice and the orange wasn't overpowering but really well balanced).

Later, Angie bought me a "Red Hook" which was really nice as well but I wasn't at the bar so I'm not sure what was in it other than bourbon (and rohypnol).

The bar might not be what a lot of you like- but for a one or two drink before he disappears kind of guy like me, it's quite nice. I just need to go back and try the main bar on a weeknight. Who's with me?

I would not lead you astray, my friend. If I lived up there, I'd SO be up for another visit. We'll just have to arrange something!

I would absolutely give it another try. However, next time, I need to have more food vs wine in my stomach first.

I want to go there and order a Cosmo from my cell phone while taking a picture of myself standing at the bar speaking hard and tapping my foot impatiently. I will then light a cigarette and leave slowly and loudly.
