Known forNegroniEspresso MartiniTequila Mockingbirdappetizers
Library Bar is a laid-back cocktail lounge in Downtown LA with a clever library-meets-speakeasy concept, featuring expertly crafted cocktails and surprisingly good small plates. The bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, and the dim, book-lined space works well for both casual drinks and private events. The main caveat: it can get quite quiet on weeknights, so timing matters if you want energy and a crowd.
