Brandy Library

I went to Brandy Library for the first time on a date and was pleasantly surprised by their spirit selection. The service was impeccable, and I've never had a server so knowledgeable about spirits. The vast array of spirits and the detailed knowledge of my server, a Japanese lady, was first-class. Their cocktail menu is extensive, which I found odd since their forte seems to be their spirit selection. I will happily come back for their service alone, next time as a student.

We just stumbled upon the most incredible whiskey bar and it's now my new favorite spot in New York City! Diana, our server, was an absolute gem. She expertly guided us through the extensive whiskey selection and even allowed us to sample a few different options before making our final choice. Her knowledge and passion for whiskey were truly infectious. The atmosphere of the bar is also top-notch – it's cozy and inviting, with a warm and welcoming ambiance. We'll definitely be back for more!

Perfect for catching up with a friend over a cocktail. The menu is super extensive - they have so many varieties of liquors to choose from and some fun cocktails. Drinks were a little pricey - $22+. The music was not too loud so it was perfect for catching up. Our server brought us a complimentary serving of cheese puffs

Overall the Brandy Library was a solid whiskey bar experience. The variety of liquors available was impressive across types (mezcal, tequila, bourbon, scotch, etc.) I will say the rare bourbon selection was more limited than I expected. The flights were a nice option to see as well - I enjoyed the Smoked Out flight in particular. The food we tried wasn't to my taste, but that was a minor issue. I'd come back again for more whiskey.

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.

Very cool, sexy lounge. Feels like you’d be able to smoke a cigar and play cards or get into some trouble. You’re surrounded by shelves upon shelves of top shelf liquor accessible with a sliding ladder giving you the library feeling especially as you read a novel of extensive liquor offerings. Ask for Tomo as your server - super knowledgeable and hospitable!

Looking to try a flight of amazing spirits in a cool, relaxed, classy atmosphere? This is your spot. So many amazing alcohols and cocktails here to try! Scotch, whiskey, rum, oh my! It's the kind of bar designed for good conversation while enjoying and savoring cocktails, not getting wasted. While you could get yourself drunk here, you'll need deep pockets to do so. This is a fantastic spot that is a classic.
