Library Bar

Traveled many the miles to come to this bar. Best experience in LA and easily the most delicious bespoke cocktails. Michael knows his craft damn well and will care to teach you. This is a must stop when in town. Much love to Kelly and Michael. Can’t wait to be back.

Come for a one of a kind cocktail experience. The mixologist Michael is very talented and takes pride in tailoring each drink to the specific tastes of each guest. As other reviewers note, that means the service isn’t overly speedy, but what you get in return is a unique and delicious cocktail specific to you. My husband and I were staying at the hotel and we were sad we only managed to visit once. The atmosphere is also spot on. Come prepared for something different and you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back next time we’re in LA.

Michael is by far the most talented bartender we have ever encountered. Each cocktail was tailor-made and one of a kind.

If you ever come when Thomas is here you are in treat! He is the best mixologist I have met. Customer service is above anything I have encountered. Great guy!!!

This ain’t your mamma’s neighborhood bar —so forget your Bloody Mary’s and Jack & Coke when you walk through the door of this lounge. This is a menu-free establishment, so if you are looking for a unique, personalized experience with each drink carefully crafted and custom tailored to your palette, THIS is the place for you, and was right up our alley as it’s so hard to find a place like this for us interested in mixology and unique drinks! Mike the bartender means serious business, is knowledgeable and will work with you to find out what drink he thinks you’ll enjoy. The ingredients at the bar are all fresh and sourced sustainably using and leaving zero waste. We went on a Thursday (what seemed to be a slow night which was great for us!) By the end of our time there we left feeling like VIPs — very satisfied and happy with the unique cocktails that were crafted for us and building up a rapport with Mike. We are looking forward to stopping in again next year, or sooner than that! (We’re from Chicago)

Michael made me some KILLIN custom cocktails. 10/10 experience will probably be back tomorrow.

The Library bar is a cool bar tucked away at the Hotel Roosevelt. It's very small and quaint. The drinks are delicious. I normally order the "Vampire" drink. It's strong and spicy. (See my photos.) The service here is incredibly slow. Now... They make delicious drinks, but they take their time. Expect to wait for your drink. There are places like this that make cocktails way quicker. That's the only reason why I didn't give it five stars.

A Unique Craft Cocktail Bar. The Library Bar is not great with classic recipes but they are adapt at free forming bespoke drinks based on what you like. Of course experimentation doesn't always produce a hit, but fear not. The mixologists there will tweak your drink to bring the balance that suits you. They have more fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs than any bar I've seen. The thing that I love about them is that their cocktails are not something you'll find elsewhere. They are unique. It's a small joint so don't plan on bringing your top twenty friends for a drink. Be sure and check the hours too. Enjoy!

If I could give this bar 10 stars, I would! My husband and I found this spot nestled in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and decided the ambiance looked cute so we should give it a try. Once inside, we were blown away by the service and the quality of the drinks. This bar does not offer a typical menu but is more of a mixology style. That said, the bartender made clear that if we wanted a typical cocktail (martini, vodka soda, old fashioned, etc.), he could certainly accommodate. We, of course, opted for the mixology option and the bartender (Thomas) asked us what liquors and flavor profiles we liked. My husband opted for gin or whisky with herby, citrusy, or fruity. I opted for vodka with spicy, herby, or fruity. We got 2 drinks each and enjoyed all of them! My favorite was a drink with sriracha that was fruity and spicy at the same time - like nothing I've ever had but I'm still dreaming of it! The drinks are understandably pricey (I think about $25 per drink) but compared to average tasting $15-20 drinks you can find elsewhere in LA, the slightly higher price was so worth it! I highly recommend checking out Library Bar if you're in Hollywood and looking for an elevated cocktail experience!

This was the perfect date night spot for my boyfriend and I. We grabbed drinks here before watching Harry Potter at the Pantages theater. Let me tell you.. we had the best time! This bar is unique in that there is menu and drinks are created especially for you according to your pallet. The drinks we had were amazing and we had the best experience with both mixologists. We loved telling them what types of drinks we enjoyed and having them create something unique just for us. The price is most definitely worth it. We both agreed this would be our new spot for a yummy cocktail! I highly recommend if you enjoy yummy cocktails and are open to trying something new.

Just wanted to say that Michael, the bartender here, is without a doubt the best bartender I've ever encountered. Not to mention, he was super nice and accommodating to my friend and I. Don't get me wrong, I've met bartenders / mixologists who are really good and amazing at what they do, but this guy is on another level; he's so committed to his craft, and the amount of attention to detail is astounding. You will never find a bartender like him, nor will you ever have a drink like this guy can give you. He asked me what kind of dessert I like, so I said cheesecake, and then I also mentioned that I love peaches. so this guy whips out a jar of fermented peaches and made me a peach/cheesecake flavored drink. Without a doubt the best drink I've ever had in my life. Do yourself a favor and go try a drink at this place; the bartender's name is Michael.

If you ever come when Thomas is here you are in treat! He is the best mixologist I have met. Customer service is above anything I have encountered. Great guy!!!

I wandered into this place to kill a little time before a show expecting to get my typical go to- Scotch, neat. Then I see this guy whipping up a cocktail for someone with great intensity. He changed my mind before we even made eye contact. The bartender/mixologist Michael is a genius. The bespoke cocktail he made me was probably the best cocktail I've ever had. I'm dead serious. Show's over, it's just after midnight, just got home, and felt like I needed to give this guy some props before I went to sleep. I highly recommend a visit or two to this tiny, cool, little speakeasy of a bar. This is the way it should be done. Someone meet me here for a drink. You'll see what I mean.

Bespoke cocktails in a gorgeous space just off of the Hollywood Roosevelt's grand lobby. Thomas is the mixologist who guided our party of four last night on our journey. Not only is he a gifted drink master, he is the consummate host, taking the time to get a sense of what each of us liked and then taking those profiles to craft cocktails for each of us. We are a discerning group, and we were not disappointed. The Library Bar is a Hollywood gem!

Says temp closed but it's a LIE!!!!! Bar is open~ Kelly and Thomas are artists. Actual and legitimate cocktail artists. You will not be disappointed- the word is your perfect cocktail, at your request. Thank you both, genuinely, for an amazing evening and absolutely beautiful artisanal cocktails.

Excellent hidden space in the Roosevelt hotel, having just reopened in March of 2024. Michael is an excellent bartender and showman, crafting each drink to your palette in a visually engaging way. Highly recommend sitting at the bar, rather than lounge, for a more intimate atmosphere and conversation, with a much more fiery visual experience. One of the best places for a drink in Hollywood, with top tier experience, vibe, and quality.

Michael is by far the most talented bartender we have encountered. His art in cocktail was incomparable, every drink was tailor-made and one of a kind! What an amazing evening.

Talk about a Hollywood gem! Had a profound time at the library speakeasy in the Hollywood Roosevelt! The Hollywood Roosevelt has and always will have a very special place in my heart. When I first visited Los Angeles back in 2021 before moving here, I spent my very first night at this hotel. I was thrilled to hear about the library reopening. I can tell this is going to be my new spot. The bartender Michael went above and beyond. I could feel that he truly make a great effort to make every single guest feel welcomed and like family. The drinks were absolutely incredible. I tried to stop at two, but I kept having more! I just had such a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. That in my opinion is what truly defines a special experience. Can't wait to come back! I'm so grateful that I live so close to this very special gem!

The Library Bar experience was one of the best I've had in a long time! My Fiancé and I were in LA this last weekend celebrating our anniversary, and some friends recommended we check out The Hollywood Roosevelt. We found the Library Bar shortly after they had opened and ended up staying for over 2.5 hours! Michael, Anthony, and Luke were our bartenders for the night, and they truly made the experience what it was. We talked to them about the kinds of spirits and drinks we like, and everything they created for us was phenomenal. They even graciously walked us through other drinks they were making and talked to us about the process of creating the drinks they do. I couldn't recommend it more highly, especially if you enjoy being able to try new and unique cocktails that you might not have the chance to try anywhere else. I can't wait for us to go back, and for Library Bar to start gaining the popularity it deserves!

We came to check out The Library after a delicious dinner but with poor service at a different venue. This place is definitely a must do if you're are a local! Heck even if you're not a local and a tourist and want to have a unique cocktail experience not just a run of the mill bar. Michael who is the bartender definitely curates a cocktail with you in mind. His vast library of knowledge on his mind of the many different alcohols and understanding of each to help craft a unique cocktail for the individual. Be open to try new flavors if you dare. This will be a must do when we return to LA.

It is rare to have a bartender care this much about the cocktails they present to their customers. Several of the cocktails we had started weeks in advance with a variety of infusion and washes the elevate cocktails to a level that most cocktails simply are not willing to invest the time into making happen. The cocktails were custom made to each person palette and still challenged what you believe you like. I would describe them as comfortably outside what you normally order. Follow Michael's lead and you will not be disappointed.

Michael is a fantastic bartender! Great service, and even better cocktails! The man is a mad genius when it comes to drinks. Just throw a general idea of what you'd like to drink at him, and he'll come up with something amazing. First time here, and definitely won't be the last! Can't recommend this place enough.

Best place in LA to get a cocktail and a fantastic experience! Michael crafted us delicious cocktails and shared about the experience he is creating at The Library Bar--an experience where the cocktails are crafted specifically for each person, and Michael shares a bit about the spirits and techniques used. We really enjoyed our time and would recommend it to anyone!

Super casual locale with an old Hollywood flare. So glad I went to enjoy a fabulous Martini.

Excellent drinks! The bartender was a true artist! He tailored the drinks to us. Definitely recommend!

Michael is an amazing cocktail artist. My wife and I had an incredible time. We had the best service and an exquisite time watching Michael create liquid pieces of art.

Mike is all anyone needs to have an incredible drinking experience. He's clearly done his 10,000 hours, and the genuine enjoyment he has for his craft is contagious. The vibe is cozy speakeasy meets classy reading nook and I couldn't be more here for it.

Great atmosphere great food great people the bartenders were awesome Would recommend to ages 21 to 60

While in LA, staying at the Hotel Roosevelt, we came across this hidden gem. Drinks were created especially for our individual pallets and they were most enjoyable. I highly recommend a visit.

This is one of my wife and I's favorite bars! Super cool speak easy vibe, reasonable prices, and Michael is a fantastic mixologist who is very personable, clearly loves what he does, and can create any type of drink you can think of. This place is a unique experience and absolutely worth checking out!

To call Michael a bartender is an understatement; he is a bar scientist! Great ambience and drinks. Thank you for having us.

My girlfriend and I were recommended this bar by some friends who live in town. We decided to finish our night here and it was easily the best decision we made while in town. Michael, the mixologist, was absolutely amazing and passionate about his craft, creating both of us cocktails that we never knew we needed, but absolutely loved. He took the time to chat with us about our preferences and was more than happy to chat about his process. The bar is a cozy spot, not a lot of room but if you're patient, it's 100% worth the time you'll spend there!

Michael was an excellent bartender who cultivated a unique experience. Highly recommend

The Library Bar has re-opened. Ignore the old, outdated reviews. The new iteration is fantastic. The mixologist is artistic and cheffy AND an excellent bartender. The cocktails are vibrant and fresh tasting. They're complexly and deliciously layored with ingredients. There's no menu. You tell the mixologist what you like and he creates based on your preferences.

This past Saturday night (7/1/17) was my second time at the Library Bar. Located inside of the historic Roosevelt Hotel on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this bar is tiny! For those that don't know, the Roosevelt Hotel first opened in 1927, and is the oldest continually operating hotel in all of LA. You can feel the history as you enter this place. Swing to the left once you hit the lobby after entering, and you should find it. The Library Bar is a perfect spot to bring a date for an intimate night with top notch cocktails. This place is not very practical for large groups, so don't plan on going with a big group of friends. It is very small with only a few tables. Come early if you want a table. If you're set on coming here with a larger group, you can hangout for a little inside, grab your cocktail/drinks from the bar after ordering, and take them outside to the lobby area where there is more space and seating. The lobby is also very nice and fancy. I think the Library Bar is good, but it really is just too small. Only one bartender and one waiter were working here, and it can take a LONG time to order and get your drink. Some of their drinks take a while to make too, since they use fresh ingredients. Definitely come with patience. Note that they do not have a cocktail menu anymore, so have an idea of what you want before coming. Everything is based on preference. They do have beer, so don't fret if cocktails aren't your thing. I got an IPA, priced around $8-9. Drinks here are pricey. They do have a food menu, though none of us ordered anything to eat.

Great spot for some crafty cocktails!! LIBRARY BAR is a neat lounge located inside the *Roosevelt Hotel*. I would say this is a fun place to start or end the evening. The bartenders are fantastic and make drinks on a whole other level. Drinks are fresh and clean.. they are made with extra TLC... so remember patience is key. Tell them what you want and they got you! I opted for Tequila and tried two different tequila cocktails.. both were strong drinks.. and tasted excellent and refreshing. They have some seats to post up at the bar and a limited amount of seating area in the rest of the bar. I love how it's cozy, dim, and the ambiance is set just right with good music playing. Overall, a really nice option to enjoy some drinks when out in Hollywood.~

Lime agave w cilantro & avocado & jalapeño infused vodka A+ complexity Lingering lime cucumber/cilantro with a pleasant pepper burn. It's what a margarita wishes it could be if it had good peyote

Tucked inside the historic Roosevelt Hotel, you'll find the Library Bar adjacent to the hotel atrium near the entry. It's a small bar that has vintage English feel. The interior is dim with leather seats which are quite comfortable. You order your drinks at the bar. The is no cocktail menu here. Bartender will ask you for your type of drink and it's custom made. If you're not sure, pick a spirt and your in taste or combinations of taste (sweet, spicy, sour, fruity). Cocktails are served over a huge block of ice that not only keeps the drink cold, doesn't water down the drink as does crushed ice or smaller pieces of ice. There's no dress code here but it's fancy so I'd come to impress though you'll find a hotel guest come in flip flops, shorts and a shirt. Like most hotel bars, drinks are a bit pricey here ($18/ea). Definitely worth a visit to enjoy a drink.

Came here as part of a bar crawl. Was a nice place to be. Lots of seating and open space so you can sit and hang with your friends. They also have live music, which is wonderful for the ambiance and made the environment really fun and friendly. Drinks were great as well! Sipped a few of my friends' drinks and they all tasted great!

Loved this place! Recommend by a fellow yelper and this was the only place I bookmarked before my trip. It's inside the Roosevelt hotel. When you walk in from the Hollywood Blvd, go left. This little bar is located by the corner, tacked away. They have small numbers of bar stools and handful chairs and one long couch. So tiny but it gives you intimate ambiance. I also liked the nice scent they had, either they were using aroma oil or could be from all the fresh ingredients they had on their bar counters. No menu, you just tell the bartender what you feel like and they will create to suit your feeling. The drink I had was strawberry cucumber mojito. Strawberry was so fresh, i enjoyed eating fresh strawberries. Fresh mint added nice scent and flavor to my drink. It was sweet but not too sweet, just enough and the fresh mint gave me refreshing feeling. Just what I needed. I really like they use fresh ingredients, makes drink taste so much better. Great place to bring your date as this place is so cozy and create intimate ambiance. Yes it is in the middle of busy Hollywood but this tiny place is quiet, good place to have conversation and enjoy drinks. Highly recommend!

So was winding down a long weekend in LA and was looking to catch up with a few friends who had flown in from all over. I looked for a joint that would be in the center of all the different locations people were at and landed in the Hollywood area. I had been meaning to try out Library Bar and decided to hit this spot up for a few cocktails and casual conversation. This joint is located within the Roosevelt and is a tiny "tucked away" type of bar. It has a rustic feel to it and is perfect for an intimate gathering or date as you can nestle away in a corner of the area. The place was not busy but this can be attributed to a Sunday night and there was one bartender watching the whole joint. Parking is tough around the area but the hotel does offer validated parking when you spend time at the library bar which made it a reasonable price. There are only a few tables and spots at the bar so if you are deadest on being here, make sure to show up early enough. The bartender was super friendly and made his way around all the folks in the bar. He would take orders and offer recommendations and certainly knew how to make his drinks as a professional mixologist. The ingredients were fresh and the guy was creative with his drinks as I perused everyone's final drink product. The service is a little slow so if you are antsy make sure to order two drinks at once The Drinks are pricy but I think that is to be expected for a spot like this. All in all, a good spot and intimate.

I have always imagined Library bar at Roosevelt Hollywood to be very small, but it wasn't, it was TINY! The decor and seatings are so cozy and comfy in vintage styles. We chose to sit on the long couch in the back, it was a good spot for ppl watching, of course I kind of had to look harder because it was so dark in there! The bartender gave everybody free champagne toast while we were waiting to get drinks, there was only two bartenders at the moment, it would take a while for them to take our orders. Hubby went up to the bar to get drinks for us, they don't have a cocktail menu, we just tell the bartenders our preference of flavors, liquor and tastes, the bartenders just create one upon the request, very interesting, and it's more fun this way! First drink for me was a spicy vodka drink, it was very refreshing with a nice kick of spiciness, fresh jalapeño, they only put this one big ice cube in the glass, it really helps to keep the drink cold and strong until we finish it. As for the second drink, I asked something ginger flavored with vodka, only a hint of sweetness. The bartender worked his magic again, it was a very nice drink, exactly what I wanted! And both drinks were so pretty, loved them! The bartender guy was extremely friendly and pleasant, he greeted me twice warmly and told me they were well known for their unique mixology! And I have experienced some, it was beautiful! Hubby asked for Vesper as usual, the bartender girl didn't know how to make it, the bartender guy took over, he made a very nice classic Vesper drink, great job! He tasted a bit off the straw before he handed over our drinks, to make sure they were good enough I guess, very professional mixologist! Both bartenders were so friendly, the waitress came in a bit later, she started to walk around and take orders, before that, customers just went up to the bar to get drinks. They cleaned tables so fast, made sure ppl were comfortable enough to sit and sip on tasty drinks, and enjoy the good bar and lounge times. All drinks were $16-18 each, reasonable priced for a famous hotel bar in Hollywood. And remember that big ice cube cost a little bit too. ;p Ps. They have a small plates menu, the items all look so good to snack on.

I've heard over and over again that the Library Bar has a great mixologist they make the best drinks. I've tried to come on a few occasions and never had a drink because the place was too crowded! FINALLY, last night which was a Sunday around midnight, I was finally able to try out a drink. I asked him to make me a Vodka drink with Grapefruit juice. It was soooooooooooooooooooo freaking good! It's the best drink I've had in a very long time. He used fresh grapefruit juice with all the pulps and all. My friend ordered a lemony drink and it was an A+ as well. The only thing stopping me from ordered 10 drinks is that it cost $16 per drink. I'll drop in for a cocktail or two but then I'd have to move on or go broke! I can easily say that this place serves the best cocktails in all of Hollywood!!!!

Great little bar inside the The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. This hidden gem is the perfect spot to have a drink prior to heading to the theater or having dinner. The bar has very few boots and tables and you will need to arrive prior to 7pm if you want to get a boot or a table. The bar does not have a drink menu, but the bar tender is highly skilled in preparing your drink in accordance with your own specific preferences. The price range is on the high-side and be prepare to pay $15-$20 per drink. The bar's atmosphere and location make this place a great location to start your night.

Came here with my boyfriend and our drinks were amazing! There were no drink menus which was odd but interesting. We told the bartender what we were in a mood for. I said cognac and sweet it is exactly what I got! No clue what was in it but it consisted of what I wanted. My BF wanted cognac and spicy which is what he got. They had a small app menu I had their chicharron app nothing special about it. It was very empty it is a small bar. Yelp stated the opening time as 8:00 we got there at 7:55 the bartender told us they were open since 6! Hopefully that is fixed by now.

Handcrafted custom cocktails. Tell 'em what you like and they'll make something based on your preferences or make you something traditional. No drink menu here. The bar is pretty well hidden in the Rosevelt hotel. Pricey at $ 16-17 a drink, but they make them so you only need one.

Tiny bar in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel with decent, terribly expensive drinks and an odd atmosphere. No menu here, just tell the bartender what you want or what you like and they'll whip you up a drink if classify as decent... Nothing awe inspiring. In fact, the only thing that dropped my jaw was the bill! $16 a drink! The bar is dark and small and when we were there, all sorts of people were in and out, including hotel guests who were in flip flops and shorts trying to get wifi and working on their computer. When you pay that much for a drink, I should feel as though I'm somewhere special, not a hotel media center...

Located in the Roosevelt Hotel, its a very small and dark bar, but it also has a very cozy vibe to it, the ambiance is really nice. The bar is filled with fresh fruit, veggies and herbs and they definitely can make you good drinks with them. It may sound weird at first but I know you'll enjoy it. They have very skilled mixologists, the drinks were delicious. I would recommend you try it out at least once, especially if you want to get away from the same old bars with the same old drinks. Try something new/different!

Great place to bring your friends in DTLA! I love the vibe there its more hipster than anything. I mean, it is called Library bar. Just beware if you do go that it is very loud inside because the bar is very small but tends to get crowded quick! Everyone tries talking above the music so you can barely hear someone standing right next to you. But it is a fun environment! I've gone a few times with friends and we always have a good time. The other guests are usually pretty friendly too so they'll start up a conversation with you. It looks like it is a classier bar based off the guests i've seen come through. I don't believe there is a dress code but be sure to wear your nicer clothes if you plan on coming here as i've seen quite a few business groups come on Friday nights. Overall i give this place 5 stars for location, atmosphere and the drinks are great! The bartender makes them nice and strong...just the way I like!

Along the seedy streets of Hollywood BLVD I drifted into the lobby of The Roosevelt Hotel only to discover how a real hand made cocktail tasted . Frank discovered a delightful Hemingway type bar and 2 master mixologists creating some of the most scrumptious intoxicating cocktails I've ever had consumed. First off this place its not your average bar you'll encounter wandering around Hollywood. No loud music, no velvet rope with giant bouncer not allowing your admittance nor will there be flashing lights of a nightclub. Instead a laid back dimly lite wood grained interior that provides the atmosphere of back room feeling you've always wanted to just sip cocktails and enjoy your date in. This place is all about fine spirits and conversation. Anything else is irrelevant. I suggest you belly up to the bar and discover each cocktail is concocted for your needs based on your tastes. The Mixologist will survey you on questions about favors and alcohol you enjoy. He then use's an array of fruits, spices, herbs and alcohol laying across the counter of the bar to create your own custom one of a kind tasty beverage. My drink was a rum based drink with flavors of orange and hint of grapefruit in it. A refined South Pacific type beverage made for me and my delight. Now because the process takes some time you may wanna double order cause it can get busy and with custom made beverages well let's just say his love becomes your love but it's no wham bam thank you mam cause all wonderful things take time to create. Cherish and sip your cocktail slowly to enjoy intense flavors blended into your glass. And remember tip that bartender and share the love. Why cause he made your drink specifically for you.

Good drinks but $16 each (as of May 2017). No cocktail menus which is annoying & limited seating in a dark bar. They offer appetizers only, no meals. Two blocks away is Loteria Grill, a Mexican restaurant/bar that has $6-10 fresh fruit margaritas & a decent happy hour!

5 stars because in my younger days I would have been all over this place making plans to come back while I was already there. My middle age self would give it 3 stars, so I'm channeling my party girl days right about now. Watching these guys craft these cocktails was fascinating and entertaining to say the very least. It truly is an art form. I asked for some specific ingredients and got nothing close to remotely resembling what I asked for. I drank it anyway. The massive singular ice cube, while aesthetically pleasing really cuts your drink to about a third liquid. Drinks are pricey, yet standard for LA at $18. An evening here could easily set you back a couple hundred without consuming any solid food. BF was in somewhat pleased, but not overwhelmed with his scotch concoction. A tiny and loud as fuck space, which is not my flavor whatsoever, but again, in another life it would have been. It was a saving grace that at 48 I was not the oldest person in the room, but this is a young person sort of crowd. Knock yourself out, kiddos, those days are few and far between, but I enjoyed the experience nonetheless. The scene is very happening and oh so Hollywood. Cool place to bring out of towners, it's located in the trendy Roosevelt, it's full of sights to be seen.

Cool little hidden gem inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Located just off of the main lobby, it's literally like someones personal reading room (you know the kind, filled with many leather bound books smelling of rich Mahogany... that kinda place) except dark, devious, and a little scary. I dig it. I was on a Mezcal kick so I ordered a Mezcal infused cocktail... or was it an Old Fashioned? Hmmm, I honestly just gapped on this, see what happens kids when you drink all night and try to remember your night. I do remember it was strong and took some mind over matter to get down so could have been a little more balanced and less alcohol forward. But overall enjoyable. Pricing wise it was steep 3 cocktails came at $50 premium so says my credit card statement. Ouch! One cool factor is they were filming a movie/TV show in the room next to us so I felt like I was sipping drinks in a green room haha. I'd stop here again

Great little cocktail bar that serves bespoke cocktails. Small entrance off the east side of the lobby, across from 25 Degrees. 2 good sized booths, a couple couches, 4 chairs around a small cocktail table, and a bar about 8 wide with plenty of standing room for about a couple dozen more. At the bar there is a hedge of herbs, peppers, bitters and greens that separate you from the bartenders. There are no menus here, the salad in front of you is to help inspire your creativity. The mixologists know all of the classics and if you don't know the name of a drink, don't worry, just let them know what you are thinking of and they'll come up with something to suit your taste. Had drinks twice here on Saturday, the first time was at 7PM before dinner and ordered from the side of the bar for quicker service (was 3 deep in the middle, casuals). I had twist on a Penicillin and they made the Mrs. a gin based cocktail with fresh tomato juice which was quite refreshing. Both enjoyed. Our friends ordered a Greyhound made with fresh grapefruit, really good, and a vodka based cocktail featuring arugula which I enjoyed a sip of but the drinker orderer didn't care much for it (says was reminiscent of health juice). The second time was after going out to dinner and another bar, must've been about 1AM as we heard last call shortly before we left. This time we were able to take a seat at the center of the bar, as patrons were thinning out. Let the bartender know I was looking for something with red bell peppers, mezcal and a bit of heat and he came up with what is pictured - initially sweet with a smoky spicy finish. Solid bartenders, fresh ingredients, and an ideal location make this a perfect spot for a small group, a date, or to impress a client. Salute!

Looking for something unique to impress out-of-towners? Look no further. I was said out-of-towner, and I was impressed. This bar is located inside a hotel, so it's pretty small. But the energy is great, and the ambiance is sexy and sophisticated. The bartenders here are artists; BARtists, if you will. One does not simply walk up to the bar here and order a Jack and Coke. One selects his/her 1) liquor of choice and 2) desired flavor profile (eg, peppery, citrusy, flowery, smokey, etc), then stands back while the bartist works his/her magic. 5 minutes later and 15 ingredients deep, you will be handed an visually appealing and delicious adult beverage that is sure to please. Be forewarned: skilled bartistry comes at a cost. A single drink here will run you around $20. If you're looking for a cheap drunk, this is not the place for you. Unless you're loaded. Then, more power to you.

This place is very quiet, music is not enjoyable. We ordered a Mule, Champagne, and an old fashion, very different alcohols, but what's the same is all three were really bad. My friends and I didn't think the bartender knew how to make drinks, yes hard to believe in a bar in Hollywood. Note that there is another bar called Library Bar about a mile from here, please watch your way to not come here if you were looking for the other one. We saw really good reviews about the other one and made a mistake in coming to this one, and yes it was indeed a mistake.

If you're looking where to spend fun night look no further. That's the place with amazingly cool gorgeous cocktails funny bartenders and even dancers like me. I don't care I can even dance in McDonald's just give me old fashioned and couple mcnuggets. If you looking to spend your night calmly don't bother that place go home, drink green tea and don't waste people's time.
