The Library

A great cocktail lounge! Amazing food and drinks. Go early for dinner to listen to amazing solo artists and grand piano musicians. Great, great vibes. It will get crowded.

Sing this in ya Tina Turner voice * Rollin, Rollin, Rollin into The Library Bar* lol. This place is a total music lover's paradise. Live music every night with amazing talents.

I wasn't very hungry but I decided to try the crab cake & it was deliciously prepared. The chef was also kind enough to honor my request to make it a sandwich *shush & stop judging me*. Lol. The entire bar staff is phenomenal and friendly. They welcomed my crazy self with open arms. This is definitely a locals hang out & like a true social butterfly that I am, I made sure to make a few connections since I'm new to the city. I love the feel of the place. Very upscale yet not pretentious.


This lounge is #BarbieApproved

Flew into Dallas to meet my dream date. Like all the others, all in different cities it was to be a great success.
The food took a long time to arrive but the singer and pianist were terrific (but with no room to dance).
Was the date as successful as the previous three?
Only time will tell.

Excellent service and a cozy atmosphere. I have enjoyed two thanksgiving buffets. And easter buffet (yesterday) and a few happy hours/appies here.

The food is outstanding and the Chef frequently walks the room to make sure that all guests are happy and satisfied. The Easter buffet was out of control delish - my favs (so many to choose from!)...the crab claws with house made roulade, the perfectly cooked prime rib with their 26-hour au jus, truffle mac and cheese, grilled asparagus, key lime pie, caviar deviled eggs, carrot cake...absolutely stunning! I had to take a nap after all of the deliciousness...

Came here to catch up with a few buddies thinking there was a happy hour. There is no happy hour anymore here. However, despite that i would come here again. They have great drinks and provide a nice relaxing ambiance for any type of event whether an outing with friends, date etc. the old fashioned is highly recommended and they take their time with it. I didn't order food but they do offer bar nuts to munch on while you enjoy your cocktails.

One of Dallas' Classic Grand Bars for quality cocktails. Had a surprise birthday party planned. We were married 37 years ago at the Methodist Church and walked across the street for a reception at the Melrose. Wedding and Birthday are 10 days apart. Great place to celebrate both. Had Brunch in the Landmark, then on to the Library Bar. Food was outstanding, the Chef baked an Italian Creme Cake with Gran Marnier filling, service is what you'd expect. Been there during the day, evening, Happy Hour... never disappointed. Connie and Matre d' Scott took care of us.

Came by on a Saturday night. We've been wanting to try this place for a while. We came in and it was very busy and lively fun vibes! The only reason for an extra star. We waited at the bar for a drink, despite it being busy everyone around the bar had already gotten there drinks and were just enjoying the live music. We grabbed a cocktail menu and a double checked that they were serving off of it with a server. We order our drinks, a side car and rum runner. The side car was made in front of us liquor splashed all down the side and given to us without even stirring and sticky. The run runner was not a rum runner. It had vodka in it instead of rum and was completely the wrong color despite me having pointed to the drink we wanted on the menu to verify since it was loud. For $20 a cocktail I would expect a little more care to be put in to the orders

ordered a drink (paper plane) they didn't have the stuff to make it , no biggie, I ordered a drink off their menu (sidecar - said made with RemyVSOP, Lime, agave, Cointreau, Pama. I legit watched him grab regular ole Henney even though the remy was a shelf above...

Bummed they still charged me 20 for somehh th Ing that was made with cheaper stuff and not what was on the menu. However it still tasted good

Dark bar inside of a hotel. Live music. Masculine old world vibes. Stiff drinks and swanky vibes. Love

I had fun here and we shut the place down, but that's because I was with close family friends that it's almost impossible to have a bad time with.

I'm finally old. This place was too freakin loud. The live music was great (actually a mix of live with background music), but we were there to visit with each other, not just watch and listen to the music. Fortunately we were tipsy so I think that took the edge off the throbbing from my bleeding ears. I LOVE music and I love rock shows, but this is a bar and I was there to talk and listen to close friends.

Service wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. Drinks took quite a while to come out, which always sucks, and one water - one - arrived, once, late, after the table ordered multiple waters. That didn't help with today's hangover.

Interior is nice with wood paneling and dim intimate lighting (although the wall of sound did not provide an intimate atmosphere). The place was hopping when we got there after a wedding reception (maybe 11:30?), so if you don't mind the cons, it's definitely a happening spot that serves quality alcohol.

The bar is inside the Warwick Melrose hotel, which is pretty nice, so it's no surprise that it's kinda pricey. Typical for a spendy Dallas bar, but value is king and I would rather spend my money somewhere else.

The ambiance here is pretty special, especially if you go on a night that there is live music. If you love an authentic 20's vibe, The Library is for you!
