I really like this place. Great set up, and staff that make you feel welcome. The cocktail list is impressive, with a great range of exciting cocktails to choose from. I went with a group of 6, and we all tried something different. We liked that the drinks we served quickly as well.

Relaxed, informal atmosphere. Great for bookish types, with Axminster carpet, bookshelves and piles of books everywhere. One couple was playing a game of backgammon when we got there! Good place to chill out after work. Good wine selection, and the salmon platter was absolutely divine. I would definitely go back again.

Tonight was my 2nd visit to The Library. I adore the set-up of the place – it has such a great vibe! It was incredibly busy tonight, so I was in awe of how calm and collected all of the staff were. The staff are just so lovely, so accommodating. You wouldn’t know whether they were stressed or tired – they just do their job with patience and a smile. So impressed!

I took my Mum here as a treat. She’s not a “bar” kind of person, so we enjoyed Virgin Mules. She loved just chilling on an old couch with me and taking in the atmosphere.

Well done guys! I’ll be back!

Love the place, great atmosphere and great service. Went there on a Tuesday and destroyed the f out of some sweet desserts, loads of top-end lookers on the floor too!

NICE!

I have been to The Library bar the last couple of Wednesday nights, we go there for there 2 for 1 cocktails, we orded the first couple of drinks, they were fine.

We went to order another cocktail that was $30 each, after we paid we realised its not 2 for 1.. we paid full price.

After talking with “a manager” he explained there are conditions to which cocktails are 2 for 1… on the advertising it doesnt explain this… no conditions apply etc…

They need to identifiy better which is 2 for 1 and which is not

As for the drunken pirates grog cocktail, it was nothing but some pineapple juice with a small amount of alcohol served in a tiki totem cup thing, which has nothing to do with pirates… for $30 each.

Hello Sam,
Thanks for your feedback. The manager that you spoke to actually called me while you were still on our premises after you threatened to write an unfavourable review if we “did not give you a free drink or shot”. We make a point of explaining the offering to every table when they get seated and how it only applies to the drinks on the House Favourites page of the menu. My staff assured me that they did the same with you and your friend and I have viewed the security camera footage myself. We do not advertise the Two for One Wednesday cocktail promotion anywhere apart from on our own website. Furthermore, the drink that you ordered is actually one of our most popular cocktails on our Luxury Cocktails page and costs $30 because it has lots of ingredients and, in particular, lots of alcohol. I believe my staff do a great job and we have lots of wonderful loyal customers that think so too. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you don’t like what we offer perhaps your needs would be better served elsewhere.
