I've visited many top bars in various cities, and this was the best service I've ever experienced. Everyone was incredibly cooperative. The bar's art selection was tasteful, the signature drink menu incorporated Arabic elements, and the classic drink menu also featured innovative toches. The enthusiasm and service from the 3 person team were particularly outstanding. Many thanks to Zoe, Rostik, and Ronelio. The best bar team in the world.

This is the best cocktail bar I’ve been to in the UAE by far. The service is equally incredible to the quality of the craft in their cocktail making. I personally had the Muhallabia, Sakunabikona (per our waiter’s suggestion and it was my favorite), the espresso martini, and at the end they gave me a taste of a cocktail from the new menu coming in May 2026 - this cocktail was absolutely refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser for the end of my night. Our waiters name was Rony and he was truly the best!!!! For context we live in New York City, where there are fabulous cocktail bars at every corner and this was truly one of the best cocktail bars we’ve been to from all categories between the atmosphere, service, drinks, and live music from a DJ playing soft jazzy lounge vibes.

Very nice speakeasy bar in Abu Dhabi! I had this place saved on Google Maps for a while, and when the chance came up to visit, I finally did and it was absolutely worth it!! The service was outstanding, super friendly staff with great recommendations for drinks. The Library Bar, located inside The Edition Hotel, has a cozy and intimate vibe. It’s stylish, calm, and very inviting, the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cocktail. They have a house cocktail menu with some really good options, but of course, I ended up ordering a classic, and they made it perfectly. The drinks are pricey, but the experience is worth it and I’d love to come back sometime soon :) If you found this info useful, leave a ❤️ to let me know. Thanks!

Absolutely a bespoken experience in Library Bar. Awesome drinks and the kindest people you’ll ever meet in Abu Dhabi. Nice and speakeasy environment. Huge thumbs up to the DJ too, remixes were amazing.

The space called The Library is quite misleading — the interior hardly resembles a library, and there are no books in sight apart from the menu. That said, the menu itself is beautifully curated and reads like an art piece. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite match the creativity on paper, with cocktails that felt a bit unbalanced. The staff, however, were very attentive and genuinely pleasant, which made the experience more enjoyable. The noise level sits at a medium — you’ll likely need to raise your voice slightly to chat comfortably. Overall, a spot with potential, but more substance than style would truly make it shine. The chicken sandwich is delicious .
