The Library

We came to town to visit our college son and stopped in for cocktails on a Saturday afternoon. The dining area still had tables full of friends enjoying brunch and “bottomless” Mimosas. Prosecco is even on tap here! The vibe is sophisticated and classy, yet casual and welcoming. The new owners have done an excellent job implementing their vision of a neighborhood gathering place with a great menu, an awesome selection of beverages and an atmosphere where people can socialize and have fun. We migrated to the spacious upstairs to play pool and darts. It was a rainy day, so we were unable to utilize the patio. Our friendly bartender was happy to make me the house cocktail, Annabel Lee- beautiful AND delicious complete with a lavender bud rim! This place is special :)

The staff is amazing and has all the information about the area and the food is top tier. Wasn't expecting the quality to be as NYC but it was. Plus the kitchen is open late which helps me since I am a night crawler. I went for brunch and had fuzzy navels (not on the menu but again amazing bar tender)

Everything here was great! We went on a tuesday night which is $1 oysters and everyone with us loved the oysters. We also ordered wings, buffalo chicken pizza, and the fried pickles which were all delicious. The staff was super nice and friendly and the atmosphere was unlike any other bar or restaurant in Pittsburgh making it a super cool place to go! We will definitely be going back!

The Library on Carson is a hidden gem in the heart of Pittsburgh. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were impressed by the warm and cozy atmosphere, complete with book-lined walls and comfortable seating. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, each one expertly prepared and plated. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring that our experience was top-notch. We especially loved the craft cocktails and extensive wine list, which added the perfect touch to our meal. Overall, The Library on Carson is a must-visit destination that delivers in every way. We can't wait to come back again and enjoy another delicious meal in this beautiful space.
