Veronica ChaviraJuly 16, 2018Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a tasty cocktail with author-themed names, my favorite, the Hemingway Daiquiri. Books will surround you, the place lives up to the name! Crowded at night.
It's been a while but I love their pork belly skewers and sandwich, parmesan fries, and their birthday cake shot with sugared lemon! Never had the burger but everyone says it's bomb!
ブルーノJune 21, 2015A nice, tiny and loudly place to go for drinks in DTLA. Too bad I missed the Happy Hour but I'm glad I ordered the french fries with my negroni. Soo good!Upvoted Mar 24
This place is quite small. However, if you're looking for a beer to try... definitely try the "Tangerine Beer". Also you can't go wrong with the food here... surprisingly really good!
SuperbJuly 3, 2012Go on a weeknight so you can actually grab a seat, order some food (which is surprisingly good!), and relax with a beer or any of their well-crafted cocktails.
Deirdre BatticeDecember 1, 2014Really nice spot for pre-night out warm up. The signature cocktails I tried were all delicious. Fries are excellent too.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 9, 2012If you get the munchies after you have a few drinks, the Library Bar is for you. Their burger is out of this world, along with the rest of their bar menu.
Andy FrancoSeptember 16, 2016Great selection of beer and happy hour 3-7. Tried the old fashioned which was great!
Alex CabreraApril 26, 2016Have you ever had a bad dish that wasn't salvageable by dousing it in chipotle aholi? No? Come to Library Bar for the experience of a lifetime.
JTJuly 9, 2016Cute little place to drink with friends. Good music on some nights and often very crowded
Philip TamDecember 10, 2014Great draft beer selection. Packed at nighttime, but their happy hour deals are a steal.
Lily CaraballoFebruary 21, 2015The French fries are awesome. Even if you don't drink, I'd say it's a good place to grab a plate of fries.
Catherine PJuly 21, 2013Arrive early or reserve the lounge spots with couches so that you have a comfortable place to sit!
Men's Health MagNovember 15, 2011The idea of drinking in places where you’re not supposed to brings back a guilty fun, like passing notes to pretty girls in grade school. Drink of choice? Their “I’ll Take Manhattan.” Cheers, Dickens.
Mo RFebruary 4, 2013The problem with this place is that the books are well chosen and the lighting is dim!
$5 whiskey sours during happy hour. Enough light to read a book if you sit at the bar.
Great service, a heavy hand and good food what more can you ask for!
Erick PrinsApril 3, 2010Busy during happy hour but calms down a bit around 9-10 at which point the bar hopping crowds start filtering in. Recommend the craftsman heff. And the library burger.
TV Food MapsSeptember 1, 2014Check out Library Bar as seen on Best Bars in America , Drinking Made Easy Read more- Library Burger one of 10 best in DTLA. Coupled w/the cooked in duck fat Peppered Steak Fries, you're winning.
Elia PachecoSeptember 7, 2013Amazing little bar. It's dark though but the bathrooms are super clean!
Nelson CSeptember 11, 2011Its my bday... if you're here buy me a drink, please! Look for the exquisitely good looking bald guy!
Mark BarronMarch 27, 2011A personal refreshing treat was their "dark and stormy" beer. A combination of ginger and spiced rum.
TaylorMay 7, 2012Three cheese fries are solid. Despite what you may hear, three cheeses are better than five.
Yummy Earl Grey martini and a solid happy hour. This is where I go after work to wind down.
Annie D.June 29, 2013No, dont believe the guy that said that the LB Lemonade is good. The lB lemonade is way too fucking sweet! 3:4 vodka, which is awesome... But nonetheless way too sweet.
Thompson HotelsJune 8, 2011Try the cactus infused tequila cocktails. The perfect summer refreshment.
Samantha IlyceSeptember 6, 2011The bacon blue cheese burger is great, the french fries are underwelming.
- Thompson HotelsJune 23, 2011Tell the bartender your favorite ingredients and he’ll create a custom drink for you.
They'll make the happy hour Margarita "skinny" if you just ask.
J HMay 20, 2012This place is just too dark to enjoy myself with my girl. This place just screams, "I'm too good to be in normal lighting"
