I was immediately captivated by the cozy, academic ambiance of Library of Distilled Spirits. The architecture and decor fit the establishment like a glove. Naming the drinks after historic authors was also a nice touch. I enjoyed a Collette and it was exceptional. Light yet flavorful. However, i did nearly choke to death on the flower adorning the drink that i am told is not edible. It was a lovely experience at Library up until a mouse scurried beneath our feet, coming close enough to inject us with rabies and/or the bubonic plague. The mouse continued wreaking havoc, disturbing most if not all of our peers. While i appreciate Remy’s endeavor in Ratatouille, i don’t believe this particular mouse was assisting in the kitchen or mixing any drinks. Unfortunately, until Library of Distilled Spirits addresses this infestation, I will likely not be returning

Went into what I thought was a nice hotel bar for drinks and desserts. Everything was fine until I saw A MOUSE scamper across the floor. And then another. And then a third. I was absolutely disgusted. Told the manager and he was apparently aware of the problem…

A $20 cocktail should actually be good. Decor and service is good, and the drink menu *looks* good, but when it comes to execution it's just not on par with other cocktail bars in the neighborhood at this price point.

Overpriced drinks for terrible service, too many other choices to settle for this place.

Beware: Seriously rude Bartenders and absolutely no list/book of Whiskies on hand- ridiculous!We walked out.Don't bother, as the name of this space has nothing to do with Whiskey; it's really just a supremely subpar Hotel lobby bar and nothing more.We walked to Pete's Tavern instead and had a great evening!

Interesting drinks named after bookish things. Please note it's in a hotel lobby.

$18 drinks that look like this (those are two different ones btw), shame the inside is very pretty and the bar extremely well stocked. The menu has character and you'd expect the drinks to as well, but these were both very bland. Regarding service the place was literally empty yet somehow we waited for about 15 min before anyone even addressed us. The fries were good, tasted exactly like mcdonalds.

Menu online is not the same as in the bar. None of the food is the same, food is from the restaurant next door. Drink menu is also not the same, more limited and a bit pricey-er. Atmosphere is cool and service seems nice but left as we were excited for what we saw on the website but that’s not what’s
