The Library New Orleans

As much as i love this place, it sucks to say that its gone down hill. The vibe is still on point, and the food pop ups are always great, but for whatever reason they cant keep bartenders. Everytime i go its someone different and theres no consistency in the cocktails. This was my favorite spot, unfortunately its not anymore..

The upstairs bar is VERY cute. Love all the games available to play. Kind of wish they were open earlier so I could bring a book to read while sipping a cocktail. But the choice of live reggae was weird for the atmosphere, though he was very talented. Unfortunately, the service was really bad. Slow and unfriendly. We eventually went downstairs which was a more traditional bar design. But the service was so welcoming. Much better bar staff downstairs.

Such a hidden gem! The Library has an incredible vibe—cozy, creative, and effortlessly cool. The drinks were top-notch (especially the signature cocktails), and the bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the mix of books and bar—perfect for a chill night out or catching up with friends. Can’t wait to come back!

Horrible hospitality from the owner. And she doesn’t keep deals with the talent refusing to pay them and trys to change already set agreements.

If I could give this place a negative number I would. There were less than 10 people in the establishment. You couldn't miss us, we were sitting AT the bar. No one greeted us, asked for our drink or food orders..., nothing. After about 15 minutes of getting absolutely no service we got up and left. I Will never go there again.

The happy hour has some great deals and it lasts pretty long. Had an old fashioned and it was very good. Will definitely come back here.

Highly recommend this awesome bar. The cocktails are carefully crafted and unique. Walking up the stairs you feel like you are stepping into a different world. We were met by friendly barstaff, beautiful decor, and wonderful cocktails. Ping pong, pool, and various games are available upon request. There is plenty of seating on the mid-century leather couches or at the bar. Apparently open pre-covid and now back in operation for one month. Add this to your list! Pictured: Coconut in the Lime.
