The Library in New York

"I loved the vibe of this place!! Classic dive bar (minus the pool and darts) with personality and graffiti from top to bottom. Came here for drinks on a Monday night and there were a few people but we had no trouble finding seating and ordering drinks. I had a Moscow mule which was, to my dismay, pretty strong. Would go again."

"I was planning on barhopping for the night with my wife but enjoyed the environment so much we just stayed. The bar was playing old school punk music which was refreshing and enhanced the vibe of the bar. The bartender was nice, the bar was busy so it did take a while to get their attention but I didn't mind. When you have a full bar and only one bartender you'll just have to be patient. Their happy hour is fun. Instead of getting a discount on drinks you get a toy dinosaur with the purchase of a drink which you exchange for a free drink, kinda like a fun "buy one, get one free" style. The art on the walls are beautiful, it was fun looking around with my wife finding little pieces of art, funny stickers, and quotes around the bar. Definitely one of the best nights I had while visiting NY!"

"I love this bar. I don't go to the Lower East Side as much as I used to but this is probably my favorite spot in that area. A great jukebox provides the perfect soundtrack for this throwback bar. Tables are located in the rear portion of the pub, where books line the shelves and movies play on the back wall. The bartenders keep the patrons in check and the vibe moving. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the bartenders. The clientele is varied and if you come with the right energy, you can definitely meet new people and have memorable conversations. Just a gem of a place that I hope never changes."

"This may be my favorite bar in NYC. The bartenders are awesome, the music is good, and I always meet cool people when I visit."

"A great dive bar with perfect atmosphere to clear your mind. Personally can't complain about anything. The drinks are fairly priced, at the time of writing the Modelo was 7 dollars, there was a 4 dollar can beer but I didn't try."

"I haven't had issues with the service, so far. Mentioned that as I have read a fee complaints. Nice dive bar with a slight gothic vibe."

"I was sobbing into the void about how bad I want egg nog. Shawn and Amethyst overheard and went on a mission to buy nog then made special cocktails for everyone at the bar!!! Changed my life NOG 4 EVER !!!! I Library Bar"

"I like this bar. Depending on the People and music its kind of a gothic place. Some quite dark spaces in the back for people who want to mind their own business. Fair prices, friendly waitresses."
