BarFly's Review of Branch Whiskey Bar

Oh whiskey, whiskey—more than barley—you’re gonna be the death of me. Artisanal whiskey (whether bourbon, scotch, or rye) has invaded the Portland consciousness with a suddenness that seems wholeheartedly insincere (you feel my distrust? It’s withering), but fact is, at the largely nondescript, square-tabled Branch, the art of the burnt cask gets its serious propers even amid the ever-more-cluelessly-gentrified Alberta Arts district.

The bar’s spirits are also buffered by a knowing salted/spiced, winkingly fine-dining food menu that knows how to complement the house drink. “Branch” is, of course, the spring water that good-souled whiskey drinkers add sparingly to their drink, and while Branchhattans, smoked whiskey cokes and other creative, well-considered concoctions abound, we advise a simple attentiveness to the deeper-than-deep, 50-solid whiskey selection itself, with honestagod whiskey flights available as if whiskey were wine.

Why, you say? It’s because we’re a pack of self-satisfied alcoholics steeped in history. Whiskey cures cancer, if you didn’t know: out with the bad cells and in with the new, which tastes like the old. What’s more, Branch won’t even make you pay through the teeth or out the ass for it. So get crackin’ that rye.

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.

  6. BarFly staff may choose to break these rules at their own discretion.

  7. Shills WILL be publicly outed. By clicking submit, you authorize us to release details about your review(s), including your IP address, email, name, and any other contact info if we feel you have abused our website.
