Bourbon & Branch™ is a glimpse back on the 1920's and the era of Prohibition when the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverage was outlawed.

You'll experience the ambiance of that time in an actual speakeasy that operated illegally at this location from 1921 to 1933. From 1921-1923 our address is listed in the San Francisco Telephone Directory of the day as "The Ipswitch - A Beverage Parlor". In 1923, an industrious young man by the name of John J. Russell purchased the business as a "going concern" with it's solid base of customers. With his connections to the most notorious bootleggers from Vancouver, BC., he operated his bar under the guise of "JJ Russell's Cigar Shop".

He did not sell many cigars. We have a set of house rules that everyone is expected to follow to maintain the "Speakeasy". The origin of the word predates Prohibition by at least 30 years. Open: Mon - Sun 6pm to 2am. Orange County Mining Company.
