About The Library

The Library is a cozy dive bar in lower Manhattan, offering reasonably priced drinks and a friendly, engaging service. The bar has a mix of booths and tables towards the back, creating a comfortable atmosphere. While the music can be a bit loud at times, the jukebox is stocked with a great selection of 80s and 90s alternative and punk tunes, making it a hit with regulars. Customers describe it as a rare place in New York City where one can feel at home, with a classic bartender who understands the craziness of the city yet makes everyone feel welcome. The bar offers a chill environment, perfect for clearing one's mind, and allows customers to bring in their own food if desired, though they do not have bar food available. Reviewers mention the bar's dive-like vibe with personality and graffiti, clean restrooms, and great happy hour specials. The service and atmosphere can vary depending on the bartender and the crowd, with some quiet, dark spaces in the back for those who want privacy.
