I love the Brandy Library! This is officially my favorite bar in NYC bc it's so classy and the drinks are absolutely delicious. The bar reminded me of a museum with bottles upon bottles of spirits on display. The service we received from the bartenders was top notch. I had the Magic Carpet first and it was literally the most perfect cocktail for me. It consisted of singani, elderflower, and champagne. I had to stop and pace myself to not drink it so fast. Then, the bartenders recommended my second cocktail and it was a creamy lavender one that I really liked too. They also gave us complimentary crème brûlée and raspberry pana cotta. Both desserts were delicious! I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back!
The drinks: Delightful! They have so many different kinds of flights and so many of them tasted great. I tend to prefer cocktails and they have such a lovely menu of them. The drinks are PRICEY, so be ready (like $23-$30) but honestly, when you're in the mood to really indulge, SO worth it. My recs: Lavender 16 and Pods-de-vie. The vibe: A beautiful space! The brandy bottles on the wall were so cool and created a wonderful light color throughout the space. Large leather chairs make it very cozy. The patrons lean more old white men in large groups, so very different than a typical cocktail bar. But the space is wide enough that I didn't feel suffocated by them. Our group was young and louder and I didn't feel out of place at all. The service: So great. Our server Yuki was absolutely wonderful and knew everything about the menu. I asked for a specific style of cocktail and she immediately know what to recommend (so spot on). She was also able to describe all the different flights and answered any questions we had. Would 100% come back.
Brandy Library was such a cute, yet sophisticated, and charming surprise! After hearing multiple positive reviews from friends, a friend and I decided to check it out and certainly were not disappointed. I loved how extensive the menu was, particularly the various cocktail options. I ordered the Lavender cocktail (on the 'Reserve Cocktails' menu) and fell in love. Perfect blend of lavender, cream and tequila- the mezcal was also quite pleasant and went perfectly with the lavender cream. The interior design is gorgeous...next time I visit I will have to upload photos, it goes perfectly with the atmosphere of Brandy Library as well. Staff is all very friendly and attentive, however, wait time for drinks can be quite long sometimes.
Had a WONDERFUL time at the Brandy Library this past Saturday. We had reservations for four and were early , yet seated right away. The vibe is cozy, classy and very New York. I really like that the age is 25 and over to enter as lately I've noticed people taking toddlers to bars which I am not a fan of. We ordered different drinks, wine, martinis, a spritz and brandy. All were delish. Food for the evening was the lamb puffs, sushi and the sliders. All superb. Service was top notch. It was a fab experience all around. I popped downstairs to see the party room which was really cool. Don't miss this Tribeca spot!
Great place to lounge and enjoy whisky and a cigar. The decor is classy, yet comfortable and they have one of the widest arrays of whiskey I've seen to date! Our whiskey sommelier was friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable guiding us to new flavors and profiles we hadn't experienced before. I also loved the selection of flights to choose from and enjoyed indulging in some of my favorites that were included in the "Smoked Out" flight. I purchased a cigar for the road and plan to enjoy with a bottle of one of my new discoveries from the Brandy Library.
Came here after dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. Walked in on a Tuesday night around 10pm without a reservation. There were seats at the bar and tables available. The menu is extensive. We got two cocktails: The Musket and Tijuana No and enjoyed both. Told the bartender it was my friend's birthday and he gave us two free glasses of champagne, which was so kind of him. The interior is also beautiful and got a great vibe. Highly recommend!
Amazing time again at the Library! Wasn't busy at all and we were doted on. The manager spoke with me a few times. He was jealous we has reservations at Babbo. We will be back!
Loved this establishment. Lovely service and excellent drinks. The short ribs were good but I'd pass on sushi and other bites. Really it's about the drinks. We got a flight of whiskey (6) and a cocktail and both were great. The flight came with a card that explained each one (i.e. fruity, smokey, oaky, etc.). Ambiance is perfect for either a date, hangout with a small group of friends or colleagues.
Hands down, if you like whisky, scotch, brandy, please visit here. Obviously, needless to say, things are expensive, but great things cost money! What can you do! This line of liquor is extremely personal so there is nothing I can recommend. I did try their musket and Negroni before starting with some Dalmore 15. Also tried their sherries Malt tasting flight. Had their cheese breads and they threw in some just like that. Thank god they have nibbles! Overall, service is good. They keep refreshing your distilled water if you offer the flights. We keep going back for the whole experience and will continue to do it
Brandy Library is a swanky brandy, whiskey and scotch bar and lounge with amazing ambiance. The library shelves are filled with bottles which seem to actually be the stock used in serving you, which I think is pretty cool. They have food as well but food/drink prices are definitely geared towards sponsored corporate events. They taste good though and certainly worth shelling out for, for a great experience. There is a cigar lounge downstairs too, which I will definitely visit next time.
