Hard to get large groups seated, pretty busy on weekday nights, doesn't feel like being out

Max TheWestie

Try the Joseph Boydons Grapefruit V and T, it's unbelievably excellent

Kate Wagner

This place has forever fucked me up. My life is now one continuous quest to find an old fashion that even comes close to theirs.

Laura Smith

Rene is a wonderful bartender . Very kind, and checked out and helped with reminiscences

Steff Onemue

Nice Negronis - a little dated- nothing like the one in london

Dounia

Busy but delicious wine and very central

Chris Stone

Everyone looks good in the dark at the Library Bar. Dining in the Dark happens every Saturday beginning at 8 pm.

Steff Onemue

Great service

Daisy Yee

Fantastic service during afternoon tea . Lots of goodies served. Had bring leftovers home.

Andrea Chiu

This bar has seen better days. Despite the $19 price tag, a simple Old Fashioned is poorly made: sickly sweet and not even stirred. Get a beer or something on the rocks.

Ron Miller

The Library Bar is a quiet place to enjoy a comfortable drink.

O.T. (Tom) Weihmayr

Mill Street Organic beer on tap ! Excellent!

Michael Muir

One of the most romantic spots in Toronto on any night. Request table 15

Joseph Boyden's cocktail is always a good idea. #NativeAwesome
