Great place to chill and unwind after a productive week. Music was surprisingly good with a mixed crowd. Place was clean and well maintained with many seating arrangements to make it a really cool fun place. Bartender Sabrina made me and excellent coconut mojito. Overall had a great experience and definatly recomend this place. By the way next time I'm definitely going to try the food and take pics.👍🏽

Hosted a second event here and was once again very pleased! We rented the whole space and our guests had a great time. The staff was so helpful during the planning and party. The food is delicious, drinks are fantastic and because the space is already decorated and has great furniture, you barely have to bring anything in! Highly recommend for groups large and small.

This spot is still getting some stuff together but it is a nice spot. I have been a couple of times and can say it’s a better spot to go to when it is not busy. They have some great drinks and food to sample and the staff are very nice. When they are busy things go down hill a little bit, bartenders and servers have a tendency to flat out ignore you and don’t seem to know how to prioritize properly. Also busy times seem to have a much more “bro” crowd and a ton of people that are way too comfortable with a lack of diversity or different ethnicities around. One strange thing too is that the ambience has the facade of speakeasy type place but in a fake form, the ambience doesn’t seem authentic and the lighting is quite too bright for what it seems they want to go for. I still have four stars because if you can go at a slower time for a more intimate experience you will have some great food, drinks, and service.

Went to the drag brunch. It is a small buffet but good food, disappointed about being sat outside as the drag queens don't seem to pay much attention to the people outside (understandable as it is summer in Louisiana). But still over all great time, good mimosas, and great show.

Great place for drinks and grub!!! The cocktail list was impressive and did not disappoint-- try the "Lost For Words!" All dishes we got were delicious, they're perfect to share with friends. I recommend the brie grilled cheese with waffle fries! Everything is on point with the library theme. Super cool environment and space. Clean and modern, sweet and sophisticated. Had a blast with the bartenders too! Will be back for sure!! LOVE this place!

My favorite spot in the city! Unique cocktails, delicious food, happy crowds and friendly staff. Bartenders are the best and always take care of you. The space is incredible for lounging with friends or renting for parties. So much room to move around in and it's decorated right on theme, comfortable and sophisticated. Not to mention the pool tables and balcony overlooking Prytania Street! Love coming here. Always a great experience, always great specials! Can't recommend enough!

This place is the new hip spot. There’s just so much to do and excellent crafts/food. Me, my friends, my son, & my mom always love coming here. Depending on the hours of the day it’s always something going on, this place is all about pleasing their clientele, so it’s always something different & I absolutely adore it. If your looking to unwind and lay low or looking to have a few “shotski” jam out and dance/bar games THIS IS THE PLACE. Definitely recommend coming here.

This is a wonderful gem! Live talented band for Sunday brunch. Scotch Boudin Eggs cooked beautifully, duck, gouda, and luxardo cherry sandwich, and a pickle juice fried chicken sandwich on home made ciabatta. Elegant, tasteful wood decor, and delightful artwork has made this an instant fav.

A very chill place to hang with friends. Bartenders are happy to have conversations with you. Free pool table available (it's definitely not in the greatest shape but it's perfectly usable). Good cocktail list. I had the chicken sandwich, it was pretty good (don't let the pickle juice description scare you off, there's no hint of actual pickle flavor). The pretzel bites were so-so, they were cooked a bit too long. But overall, I would definitely recommend, especially as a chill out place.

Very good looking place with paneled walls, a large variety of beer and delicious food. Downstairs is your typical decor but upstairs is the whole "library" vibe. It's a great place to hang out with friends.
