Every single room in the Bourbon & Branch Bar is a secret and there are FIVE bars hidden inside. The outside is very plain and the sign doesn’t say “Bourbon & Branch”- it says “Anti-Saloon League.”
Okay, pay close attention. To get in the main bar, make a reservation, knock on the door and give your password. Or, you can ask to be put on the wait list.
And then there's the Main Bar's, uh, bar. In between them, you'll find the list of the House Rules, which includes "no cellphones."
Near the bathroom, there's a secret door inside the secret bar that leads to another secret bar.
Next, is the Wilson & Wilson Detective Agency. Set in the fictional Wilson & Wilson Detective Agency, this is the extremely secret, extremely awesome bar. Again, make a reservation and give your password.
Shadowy figures pass by the frosted glass window and you can make believe you’re in a detective novel.
You can find the next room through this not-actually-a-bookshelf bookshelf.
The Library is the easiest to get into- find the unmarked door on O'Farrell. Know the password (*cough*the password is books*cough*). You can also access it thru THIS SECRET BOOKCASE DOOR that separates Bourbon & Branch's Main Bar and The Library. (Did I mention it’s “standing room only?”)
Russell’s Room is for large party bookings, but sometimes they open it to take up the overflow from The Library.
If you're most people, your journey would end through this door (which tragically appears to have permanently sealed-in booze) that leads back to The Main Bar.
But for a lucky few, you might get to continue your journey downstairs through this trap door, and into...
The Ipswitch. Housed in the basement of the building, The Ipswitch is the super-secret, little-known part of B&B that shares the name of the actual speakeasy that operated here during the Prohibition from the 1920s-1933, and there’s only seating for 2 people.
