Know the Password |
501 Jones Street (at O'Farrell Street) San Francisco, CA 94102 +1 415 673 1921 http://www.bourbonandbranch.com/ |
This place is the talk of the town. Perched inconspicuously on a corner in San Francisco's Tenderloin, Bourbon & Branch has no signage, and the door is closed tight. When you ring the buzzer, the door swings open and you are asked for the password. If you do not have the password, the door slams shut. It sounds barbaric, but once you have taken the time to register on their website, make a reservation, and receive a password, you will be graciously ushered into a world of boozy delight. The atmosphere is an homage to Prohibition-era speakeasies, albeit with a dash of modern urban swank. The drink menu is extensive and innovative, and you can leave with a souvenir copy for a mere $500. Featured fare includes not just one, but a whole selection of hand-numbered craft bourbons. A list of rare scotches, rums, and tequilas round out the offerings. Bartenders here are master mixologists, incorporating such sought-after liquors into equally tantalizing, boundary-busting cocktails. See website for online reservations and a complete list of house rules (including "no cell phone use" and "don't even think of asking for a 'Cosmo'"). Review © 2009, Wcities |
