The Library New Orleans

Nice cocktails. Great ambiance!

Beautiful bar! Staff is not very welcoming and the music BLASTING all over the neighborhood is annoying! Hard to meet friends and have a conversation, which is a favorite activity! Understand the loud vibe inside, but be a good neighbor and stop the loud music outside...please!

I’ll say the one thing this place has going for itself is the atmosphere and it definitely stops there. It’s a very nice vibe but it really has nothing else to offer. The food wasn’t to my liking, the drinks were sub-par AT BEST, and the service just wasn’t up to my personal standards. Maybe they just need to start again from the ground up and rehire/retrain because the crew that I got just wasn’t doing it for me.

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.
