Brandy Library

Brandy Library is one of those rare places that feels special the moment you walk in. The warm lighting, leather seating, and wall-to-wall shelves of fine spirits create an atmosphere that’s classy yet comfortable. The bartenders are true professionals — knowledgeable, friendly, and always eager to recommend something unique. Every cocktail feels expertly crafted, and the smaller food options pair beautifully with the drinks. From the apps to the mains and desserts to finish everything was delicious. Whether you’re a whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a memorable night out, this place delivers elegance without pretension. Easily one of the best lounges in NYC.

Magical experience and ambiance. From the first step in the door, the staff greet you and offer the complimentary coat check. They check ID at the door and don’t allow under the age of 25. The staff and sommeliers are incredibly knowledgeable about all of their offerings. We got the 3 pour blind stave flight tasting and it was simply magical. I told our sommelier that I wanted a scotch flight from the Isles with finishes. They bring out your pours blind and check in with you on your opinions and guesses on flavors and which bottles you are drinking. It was New Year’s Eve so we were given the complimentary amuse bouche that included a foie gras pastry, an artichoke topped with hummus, and a tomato with mozzarella. The whiskeys were wonderful and the interior design is simply a dream. The reviews that say this place is inordinately expensive don’t factor in that they have some of the rarest bottles in the world, and there are plenty of pours and cocktails starting at $18 each.

Super chill and quiet, like a member's only club. Splashy tribeca pricing, but such is to be expected. Sal the bartender has a few creations on the signature list. Jose on the other end of the bar will take care of you and make you want to return again and again. Good for a client chat. Expense reports recommended.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful fall🍁 afternoon in NY at the highly recommended Brandy Library. Exceptional service and perfectly curated whiskey flights suitable to your whiskey level of appreciation. Expansive selection. Swanky atmosphere with a classy vibe. Perfect day date or date night or a gathering place for whiskey enthusiasts of any level. I am from California and can't return soon enough!! Thank you for a memorable whiskey experience in the BIG Apple🗽🍎🥃

This place is a treasure! The whiskey selection is top tier. You can't get much better than this anywhere in the world. The service was excellent and they even had a great charcuterie board and jamon.

Loved this loungey concept with a beautiful selection of brandys and spirits. Was especially grateful for the service in helping to select good brandys and sharing how to appreciate them. Good spot to chill and hangout

Such a cool and classic nyc spot! You can see they care about service and are very educated and passionate about liquor. Can’t wait to go back
