"The neighborhood’s most pedigreed cocktails are mixed up at Middle Branch, an expansive two-story townhouse space from the late Sasha Petraske’s team, the folks behind gems further south like Little Branch and the now-closed Milk & Honey. A range of Petraske’s classic creations, plus some new concoctions, are flanked by a menu of small plates. There’s also live jazz on some evenings to accompany the swanky drinks, in a space with exposed brick and pressed-tin ceilings." - Alexandra Ilyashov
