The Library Bar

“Great atmosphere, the cocktail menu was very good, excellent service.”

Troy Mercer★★★★★

The Library Bar is a cozy, upscale cocktail lounge tucked inside The Rittenhouse Hotel with an intimate vibe and expert mixology. The atmosphere feels like a refined hideaway with shelves of books and comfortable seating- perfect for a date night or sophisticated night out. Drinks are beautifully crafted and flavorful, though prices are on the higher side. A lovely spot if you’re looking for classic cocktails and a stylish ambiance!

Great place! Ambiance is as close to perfect as you can get. This is a perfect location for meeting friends with a really nice cocktail in your hand or for sitting quietly and enjoying a book with a really nice cocktail in your hand. In fact, it's the first place I've ever felt comfortable just sitting quietly and reading a book by myself, and the cocktails were delicious. The bartenders are so so pleasant and accommodating. It's expensive (I forgot how expensive it was. I spent $30 on one drink. It was absolutely delicious though!), but the whole experience is worth it. Can't wait to go back!

Would’ve given it 5 stars for the elegant décor, courteous staff and live jazz piano, but when I was just about to sip on my beautiful drink, a dozen finance bros walked in, yelling each word of their conversation and ruined the atmosphere. Considering the location, I wouldn’t say this is a rare occurrence, so we’ll just have to bet our luck I guess.

This is my one of favorite bar in Philadelphia, it has live music, nice cocktail. I like dark knight a lot, I was a little bit unsure about the color, and the glass they poured in, but it taste very sweet and easy to drink.
