The Library Social Club | Wine Bar

We absolutely love this place , Ben is amazing at his job . Food is great , the wine is even better & the vibes are immaculate.

10/10, Library Social Club is a must for any occasion that calls for great service, wine, and ambiance. There was a live DJ playing chill tracks the evening I went. Wine options were great and the host (owner?) was super cool and made great recommendations!

We’ve come here a couple of times for Sunday brunch; and another time for Mother’s Day, and again when friends from out of town came in to visit, and again on a random-ass Friday.

Great vibe, great service by Benjamin, and the food has always been phenomenal. We would always recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Definitely a hidden gem in the East Bay. We hope to keep coming here, not only for the food and drink, but to support business managers, like Benjamin, and the owners, who obviously know what they’re doing. These are the people we like to support.

Went to the restaurant tonight on 6/5 to listen to kill Bill Sax, beautiful wonderful performance ordered some food a bottle of wine even tip, kill Bill for the beautiful music that he was playing at the end of the day the manager African-American guy who says he’s 50% owner ask me and my wife to leave because someone was coming in five minutes. Bill was supposed to be there from 6 PM to 9 PM, we plan on watching the whole show spent over $100 on a bottle of wine and something to eat. We closed out. Our tables because we wanted to sit at another table, , at 8:10 this same “owner” instead of seating us somewhere else, insisted on my wife and I leaving so he could accommodate his next guests. I feel highly discriminated against and I will never return , once I get the manager name I will repost his name. By the way, this “owner’s” had what appears to be either his wife or girlfriend and her friend visiting and had them seated amongst his paying customers, and he could not move them for his customers? This is 100% wrong. This owner also stated: “ this is not a place where you come for lounging this is just in and out you come for hour to an hour and a half” ????? this information was not on his website and I would not have come if I would’ve known I could not watch the whole jazz show

My boyfriend and I originally planned to attend the Black Wine Festival, but the tickets were sold out. Instead, we decided to support a Black-owned wine business—and I’m so glad we did!

Benjamin went above and beyond to ask about my taste preferences and made sure I was paired with the perfect wine, which he absolutely nailed. The gumbo was incredible, and honestly, the cornbread tasted like Thanksgiving dinner—in fact, it was even better than some gumbo we had in Louisiana!

The space itself is cozy, intimate, and beautifully decorated. Benjamin also told us about their brunch and other upcoming events, and we’ll definitely be back. This spot is a hidden gem with amazing food, wine, and hospitality. Highly recommend!

This is a long overdue review. Stumbled upon The Library one evening while walking around downtown and been coming back ever since.
The vibe-unmatched
The service-incredible
The food-way better than you’d ever anticipate(ask for the gumbo)
The wine-haven’t had anything I don’t like

All of this due to Benjamin. He’s recently brought in live music which just makes an already dope spot even better. His recommendations have never failed me. At this point I come in, tell him what I’m feeling like and he’s delivered every.single.time

Hang out spot, special event(rent out the entire space), memberships, you really can’t go wrong.

Make sure to make a reservation on Friday/Saturday evening because it fills up fast!
Need an idea for Sunday brunch? The Library definitely needs to be on the list

I am impressed with the selection of wines the Library wine bar has to offer in Walnut Creek . 😍 My favorite wine was the Rose 🍇 🍷. I would say Rose pairs well with the warmer weather 🧀 ☀️ & great friends. The inside interior design is very calm and peaceful. Definitely will come back to visit again . ☀️🍷🍇 💖

BIG SHOUT OUT to Mr. Benjamin! I hope I spelled your name correctly brotha my wife and I enjoyed everything!! Tried a port for the 1st time and it was amazing! I look forward to the brunch experience!!! The Edge and Lobo Hills Cabernet was excellent. Definitely coming back!!

10/10. Great service. Highly recommend the gumbo and corn bread special! Soo good. Great pour. Definitely will be returning.

I attended a surprise party this weekend at the Library Social Club. It was the perfect place for this intimate and cozy event. The service was incredible and the Owner even had a playlist created to fit the style of the birthday boy. I love this tailored customer service which created a unique and memorable experience

It was tasteful and exquisite. Perfect for an afternoon friends meetup or an afterwork wine sipping. The atmosphere is chic. The manager is nice, professional and a real wine connoisseur in case you need a recommendation.

Wines are good, service is good, floor plan is odd, the TV subtracts from the atmosphere
