Branch Line Bar

Great place to chill out with very limited seating capacity due to its size. They also have seating available outside. Parking: They don't have their own parking lot. There's plenty of street parking.

Been here three times in less than a year and the first two times were great. Great service, great cocktails, and tasty food that hit the spot. But this time we noticed something had changed. The service and cocktails were still great, and the food tasted good but wow, the portions were shockingly small. Like half of what we got last time. The fries covered only half the plate. The “full” salad was half the size it used to be. And the bowl of Brussels sprouts—that arrived ten minutes after we’d finished the fries and salad—was also half-empty. Wow. I am fine paying over $100 for dinner and cocktails for two, but this wasn’t dinner. It was snacks. We left hungry.

Was greeted with a glass of water upon walking in. Definitely a nice touch. Great music, great atmosphere and the food smelled great but I only came for a beer lol nice prices too. I recommend either the "Thizzler on the Roof" cocktail or the Great Notion Ripe IPA. If You're on a layover at the Thruway of Emeryville Amtrak Station, I highly suggest walking that one block to this bar!!! Now I found a 'home' when traveling to and from work and stuck in a layover limbo

locals bar, incredible staff and the food was great. I went back a couple days later and closed it down. I Had a blast again

Didn't try to food here, and despite the small venue it took a really long time before someone came to the table to greet us and take orders. I actually went to the bar and ordered drinks for my group which the waiter brought over later. Luke warm on returning atm.
