Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a tasty cocktail with author-themed names, my favorite, the Hemingway Daiquiri . Books will surround you, the place lives up to the name! Crowded at night.

Kylie Matsumoto

It's been a while but I love their pork belly skewers and sandwich , parmesan fries , and their birthday cake shot with sugared lemon ! Never had the burger but everyone says it's bomb!

ブルーノ

A nice, tiny and loudly place to go for drinks in DTLA. Too bad I missed the Happy Hour but I'm glad I ordered the french fries with my negroni . Soo good!

Ian Prieto

This place is quite small. However, if you're looking for a beer to try... definitely try the "Tangerine Beer ". Also you can't go wrong with the food here... surprisingly really good!

Superb

Go on a weeknight so you can actually grab a seat, order some food (which is surprisingly good!), and relax with a beer or any of their well-crafted cocktails .

Deirdre Battice

Really nice spot for pre-night out warm up. The signature cocktails I tried were all delicious. Fries are excellent too.

@JaumePrimero

If you get the munchies after you have a few drinks, the Library Bar is for you. Their burger is out of this world, along with the rest of their bar menu .

Andy Franco

Great selection of beer and happy hour 3-7. Tried the old fashioned which was great!

Alex Cabrera

Have you ever had a bad dish that wasn't salvageable by dousing it in chipotle aholi? No? Come to Library Bar for the experience of a lifetime.

JT

Cute little place to drink with friends. Good music on some nights and often very crowded

Philip Tam

Great draft beer selection . Packed at nighttime, but their happy hour deals are a steal.

Lily Caraballo

The French fries are awesome. Even if you don't drink, I'd say it's a good place to grab a plate of fries .

Catherine P

Arrive early or reserve the lounge spots with couches so that you have a comfortable place to sit!

Tom Maxwell

Cool library themed bar , lots of nice lounge seating

Yisha Zhang

A pleasant place on a school night. They ACTUALLY have REAL books .

Jiexi Cao

Nice drinks and interior.

Men's Health Mag

The idea of drinking in places where you’re not supposed to brings back a guilty fun, like passing notes to pretty girls in grade school. Drink of choice? Their “I’ll Take Manhattan .” Cheers, Dickens.

Mo R

The problem with this place is that the books are well chosen and the lighting is dim!

J.C. Balcita

$5 whiskey sours during happy hour . Enough light to read a book if you sit at the bar .

John Kidde

There are Actual books on the shelves, so it's not just a clever name.

Natalia Krystel

loved the atmosphere! nice music and martinis .

Joan McLane

Great service, a heavy hand and good food what more can you ask for!

Erick Prins

Busy during happy hour but calms down a bit around 9-10 at which point the bar hopping crowds start filtering in. Recommend the craftsman heff. And the library burger .

Winston

Library Burger one of 10 best in DTLA. Coupled w/the cooked in duck fat Peppered Steak Fries , you're winning.

Elia Pacheco

Amazing little bar . It's dark though but the bathrooms are super clean !

#happyhour from 3pm-7pm - huge after-work crowd so get there early

Andre McDonald

Dark and Stormy is a must with Jamaican Appleton rum

Nelson C

Its my bday... if you're here buy me a drink, please! Look for the exquisitely good looking bald guy!

Roni Leicam

A little pre bday celebration with friends ????  

Mark Barron

A personal refreshing treat was their "dark and stormy " beer . A combination of ginger and spiced rum .

Taylor

Three cheese fries are solid. Despite what you may hear, three cheeses are better than five.

Julie • 유미 U.

Yummy Earl Grey martini and a solid happy hour . This is where I go after work to wind down.

Annie D.

No, dont believe the guy that said that the LB Lemonade is good. The lB lemonade is way too fucking sweet! 3:4 vodka , which is awesome... But nonetheless way too sweet.

Alex R

This place is awesome!! Garlic parmesan fries rule!

Amonlaya

Pork belly skewers are sooo delicious. Should've ordered more.

Thompson Hotels

Try the cactus infused tequila cocktails . The perfect summer refreshment.

Samantha Ilyce

The bacon blue cheese burger is great, the french fries are underwelming.

Pooja Nair

Great cocktails and happy hour !

Koren Kordes

Try the deviled eggs ... Avoid the artichoke .

Erik Ovando

Good place for begin the night.

Cherith Zanghi

Nice decor, super cramped. Music too loud to hear yourself think

Alejandra Mortellaro

The burrata is so tasty!!!

Phoenix ????????????

Try the Library Burger

Thompson Hotels

Tell the bartender your favorite ingredients and he’ll create a custom drink for you.

Jace Ford

Super downtown bro bar . Ya know, if you're into that whole thing...

Rusty

They'll make the happy hour Margarita "skinny" if you just ask.

J H

This place is just too dark to enjoy myself with my girl. This place just screams, "I'm too good to be in normal lighting"

Mad Pat

Try the pork belly sandwich . Deelish!!!

Thompson Hotels

Try Matt’s newest summer sensation, The Elderflower Tarte .
