Stopped here on a friend's recommendation, had to use passports for entry and Australian drivers licence cannot be used. Service was lovely, drinks were nice, food was nibble size which is what you want for cocktails. Atmosphere was good
We went on a Friday. Had the secret life of bees cocktail and ive never had honey as a predominant taste for a cocktail! It was delightful. We also had the coffee pudding which was comforting and went well with the cocktail. We also enjoyed the live jazz band which is hard to find anywhere nowadays.
This is a do not miss! They have LOTR, Game of Thrones, and Alice in Wonderland inspired drinks just to name a few. It is upstairs and tucked away as an good reading place should be. The vibe is super chill. Jean-Marc is a master at his craft! The cocktails here are on point! Love this place. I'm going to break my rule of not going the same place traveling and come again tomorrow night!
I don’t know what band was playing, but it was the BEST live music ever! We went to The Library for their awesome drinks and deserts, and left the bar super happy with many smiles. Love this bar/lounge.
My group of 4 attended WOAP: Not Only Murders in the Building WOAP event last Saturday at The Library and it was just brilliant! Using characters from the comedy-mystery TV series 'Only Murders in the Building', participants were given a case file to inspect and identify the murderer of Cinda Canning. I am most impressed by the detail put into creating the entire event - the event posters, the menu of delicious cocktails and accompanying snacks (dips that came out in a Dimas paper bag, the #14 Sandwich, gut milk), even the music playlist - all meticulously tied in to many key features of the TV show. And the mystery case itself! So cleverly weaved, we definitely needed to put our thinking caps on and observation skills into good use whilst trying not to get too muddleheaded having consumed 4.5 yummy cocktails in the 2-hour session :) Staff were super friendly and regularly came to check on tables to see if participants needed hints to help crack the case.
The mixologist is hands down one of the best, the cocktails I've tasted were superb. Price wise the cocktails are on the high end, but worth every penny.
Highly recommend a stop in if you're in Wellington, good place for a night cap.
Had the dessert and cocktail pairing. Service was excellent and friendly, great staff. Sublime Basque with a citrus rum partner. Highly recommended. Casual but friendly location, great for conversation with close friends.
First time coming, good vibes and friendly staff, most definitely coming back!
Edit 12/10/23:
Miss communication about a certain menu, was extremely looking forward to trying the WOW cocktails (I even booked a table in 2 weeks I advance to save up for a few with a group of us) was told via email it finished on the 15/10/23 but went in on the 12/10/23 to find out it finished prior. Staff needs to get their communication better. I also had to wait 45 minutes for one drink too and I had to remind them about my drink as they forgot.
So that bumped my 5 star service + overall rating to a 4.
Extremely cool bar, that is bigger than you think. They hosted a 'Only Murders in the Building' Welly on a Plate event - great fun!
Staff are friendly, attentive, and uber cool. They had delightful cocktails too!
Always a great experience. Love the 2 for 1 deals they have for cocktails on Wednesday and desserts on Tuesdays. Huge range of seating options too.
