The rustic, intimate space features iron and walnut accents reflective of the heyday of Emeryville’s well-earned “Rotten City” era. Their full bar features an impressive selection of domestic and imported Whiskeys that fuel their signature cocktails. They sport an equally impressive selection of Bar Bites that compliment a curated selection of craft brews and wines. Branch Line opens for lunch, transitions to Happy Hour, and (depending on how much fun you’re having) extends into the wee hours of the evening.
