Those of us who prefer to do our boozing in the company of many books will find refuge in this cozy Tribeca bar , which is blessedly set up to look like a library , complete with crackling fireplaces . Read more

Erik Cintron

Fun yet classy spot with the perfect ambiance for a first date Or just lounge . Cigar smoking outside with Thousands of spirits lined up on the wall. They have good food & prices try the flights!!

Atif Ateeq

Great upscale lounge with a very large selection of drinks. Walls are lined w/ bottles & have rolling ladders like a library . Very classy . Priced high but check their website for free tastings.

Jeremy Moore

The scotch/whiskey/bourbon/rum selection is the best I've seen in New York. While it definitely feels that you're in TriBeCa, if you catch it on a slower night it's a great place to enjoy & relax.

Jason Schulweis

Amazing selection of brown liquor , knowledgeable staff and a classy vibe. If it's nice out, ask to sit outside on the front porch (you can smoke a cigar out there). They have flight options too.

Hector

Fancy , cozy , and warm atmosphere make it the best whiskey spot. They have a ladder for library shelves of drink bottles. Downstairs private room and bar too! Perfect cocktails .

Ernesto Gutierrez

Whiskey lovers will feel in heaven. Amazing scotch collection and ambiance to sit back and enjoy. Be warned: parties greater than six people are not welcomed unless you book the private room

Avin Narasimhan

One of our new faves. Fantastic vibe and atmosphere. Gougeres (amazing cheese puffs ) are a must. You could basically point to anything on the drink list and you'll be golden.

Alex Kesling

The terrible suit-ridden and uptight vibe is completely made up for by their absolutely amazing selection and fantastic service. I would recommend getting a flight of your favorite liquor genre.

DoubleDeuce

An institution. If you're a Man or Woman of Whiskey , Scotch or Brandy , then this is a must stop for your life. Get comfortable , the options will keep you here for a while.

Nikhil Gadre

Loved the whiskey flights .. but beware, they are quite stingy with the pours :( The selection is out-of-this-world... can't be beat!!! Fancy , cozy and very classy atmosphere ...

Caroline P

Deviled eggs with bacon crumbles and foie gras mousse were amazing! I liked the "make your own scotch " set up but the pours are tiny.

ℳ????????♍

Superb but don't come here if you don't understand whiskey ! Brandy Library is a chic , high-end bar specializing in Brandy , whiskey selections , bourbon ... Other cocktails are good too

Date Night Is...

If whisky is your game & money is no object, then this is a can't miss Date Night spot . Their amazing menu & a knowledgeable staff to match will give you a solid intro to the world of whisky .

Sean Smith

Amazing selection of spirits , super cozy atmosphere and staff that are both friendly and knowledgable . "Browse the library " to try something new.

PureWow

You don’t have to be a spirits aficionado to appreciate the charms of this civilized Tribeca den. (Though by the time you leave, you might be.) Read more

Monika

A great place to learn about alcohol . Let your librarian guide you. The atmosphere is customized towards great whiskey consumption - leather chairs , darkish lights and bottles surrounding you.

Ajaya Williams

Always a great selection and superb service. If you have no idea what to get, the staff is knowledgable and will lead you in the right direction.

Ronak Daya

A library for whiskey ?! Yes! Great decor. Make reservations . Come in small groups and get the highland tasting flight.

Alex Mizrahi

"The name is accurate, as far as it goes: There are indeed many, many cognacs , Armagnacs , brandies de Jerez, and other fine grape and fruit distillates, all ranked on shelves like so many..." Read more

Megan Johnson

We live in the neighborhood , why haven't we been here before?! Love the ambience and the extensive cocktail menu . A cocktail I've only had in Croatia was found on their menu. Yum.

Lydia Berkennou

For the whisky , brandy and cognac lover. Also serve great cocktails . The gin is my favourite part!

Lears Fool

A library is only as good as its librarians - this one has them. Get educated . Ask questions. Don't be intimidated if you are a n00b. They are kind people.

Our Man On The Ground

With over 1,000 different types of brandies & whiskies from around the world to choose from, this is a must visit place for the whiskey or brandy connoisseur. Cosy, clubby & intimate atmosphere . Read more

We had a "creamy cocktails " night here that was well executed. Brandy Alexander, Bees Kiss, Grasshopper, White Russian . Everything worked ????

Melissa Rosenthal

Cozy spot with amazing decor and drink selections. What more could you ask for?

Charlie Sneath

Sign up for one of their tasting classes . They're a ton of fun, you'll learn a lot, and you'll drink well !

The Corcoran Group

Great bar to unwind after work or spend an entire night sampling some of the best and rarest spirits in New York City . Make reservations .

Spencer Howard

Amazing list of booze. Decent cigar list. Manly business crowd. They even offer tasting classes of rare blends.

Ru Lu

Very good service . Quiet open to young professionals too. The cocktail page starts on p.64 of the drink menu. A good sign. ;)

Jennifer Stromberg

Nice cocktails , but mainly the beautiful interior and jazz music they've got playing sets this place apart .

aanwar

Absolutely a phenomenal place to have a business meeting or just hang with friends who like Whiskey .

Wendy Qiu

Great ambiance. Super fancy . Not a whiskey or dark liquor fan but it was a cool experience. The whiskey flights are popular

Natalie V

Fancy digs with huge menu of brandy , whiskey , etc. highly recommend going a tasting menu and making reservations .

Andrew Litvak

The broadest range of whisky I've ever seen, in tastefully subdued digs. Great spot for a date or quiet catch-up.

Alex

The walls, covered with bottles of whisky , brandy and bourbon , may tempt you in a variety of directions, but their classic Old Fashioned is a good way to start the evening.

Michelle Williams

If you're not into the scotches and brandys , try the Champagne Cocktail ! It's strong, so be cautious. Get more in my post on Coffee + Champagne (http://coffeeandchampagne.com/2012/06/brandy-library/)

Cristian Gonzalez

Great place to meet friends and have a deep conversation over a drink. Unlike most NY spots you can actually hear each other!

Our Man On The Ground Manager

With over 1,000 different types of brandies & whiskies from around the world this is a must visit place for the whiskey or brandy connoisseur. Cosy, clubby & intimate atmosphere . Read more

Mark

Great selection of whiskies , including bourbons and scotches in an upscale atmosphere. A bit pricey .

NY Waterway

With as many as three thousand unique bottles on its shelves and an incredibly knowledgeable staff , Brandy Library is ideal for lovers of brandy/Scotch/whiskey.

Diplomatico Rum

Joel Flores, Spirits Sommelier at Brandy Library. Ask him for a Diplomático on the rocks or for an Old Fashion . Amazing.

Michelle Roberts

This place has an awesome selection of bourbons , single malt scotch and cognac .

Leo C

selection here is ridiculous. ambience is awesome. folks were more than happy to answer any questions. had the Hakushu neat.

M G

Wonderful, knowledgeable staff . Insanely extensive menu. Lovely old school decor. Truly a library of scotches , cognacs , brandys , etc. More of an encyclopedia... A must for any spirits afficionado.

Daniel Allard

It’s a library of brandy - very cool, sophisticated spot, with a unsurprisingly vast selection of brandy on offer.

Scott Caldwell

Are you in New York City ? Do you like whiskey ? Then why aren’t you here? Seriously, why are we still talking? Quite possibly the sexiest den of spirits you’ll ever visit. A mere ~1500 bottles to try.

Honghui Yu

Amazing selection of whiskeys . Try to make a reservation if you can because the wait can be pretty long

Alyssa W

an otherworldly experience - you're literally surrounded by whiskey . try one of the whiskey flights .

Blake Olmstead

Tasting menus are a great survey of the massive collection. Perfect for spirit newbies.
