The Library

I brought a bunch of folks to The Library for a holiday party nightcap and it was perfect. The atmosphere is very kicked back, the bartending was top-notch, and the music was highly reminiscent of the "Gypsy" jazz played by Django Reinhardt back in the 1930s and '40s, with the added benefit of a singer who reminded me a tiny bit of Sarah Vaughan. The only thing that could make the ensemble even better would be the inclusion of a violinist to play the Stephane Grappelli parts of the "Hot Club" repertoire. My wife, a conservatory-trained professional violist was highly impressed. We will be back.

This historic mansion is now the private Detroit club, but they do allow non members into their bar/lounge, aptly and simply named The Library (as long as you follow their enforced dress code, trust me no ripped jeans are allowed).The beautiful old rooms are nicely furnished, a chandelier over the bar, and low lite. It's a much quieter space than most bars. They do often have live music, but it adds to the atmosphere and still allows you to hear others.

Originally I was just looking for fun bars for us to check out the 1st night in town. But then when I foudn the library bar, i realized I would the like the Detroit Club hotel it was in too.Cut to a couple weeks later and I was checking into the hotel and heading downstairs to the elegant "The Library". It's a spacious area with plenty of tables to pull up to. I puled up the bar. It's an elegant spot, and the bartender was quick with a beverage. as I tipped back my beverage I took in the whole scene. I imagine this hotel has a lot of history. It has a Victorian build. Above the bar and in the adjoining dining room there were a couple of beautiful chandeliers. from the carpet to the wall sconces to the warm fire there was a homey feeling that reminded me that some parts of the hotel were only accessible to members(or hotel guests). So after my rum drink I headed up stairs to the cigar bar, Uralli.

Good old time elegant bar area. Only one tv. But nice atmosphere. Good drink selection.

Literally the coziest bar ever. So lowkey and quiet. This is definitely a place I'd wanna bring my iPad and just curl up in a chair and scroll away for hours. They also have a happy hour! I got a margarita and the lamb tacos. Both were really good. I really appreciate the meat being hot on my tacos when my food arrived. I will absolutely, positively be back.

Great ambiance, interesting drinks and attentive servers.Only critique is that the loud music is not congruent with such an upscale, traditional, speakeasy vibe.

Drinks were really good, loved the atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend if you're going with a group of friends.

Great service, great food. It's large enough so there is rarely a wait! Their pizza is very good, and I often get the fajitas.

Drinks were bad, mine was undrinkable. They did notice and offer to take it back to fix it. It was better after that but still not great. My wife's drink was also just subpar.The atmosphere was mostly great. A cool historic building with live music and comfy furniture. But the ambience was ruined by the syfy channel playing in the corner.I will never be back here again unless something changes.

The Ambiance is amazing and the restoration is very appealing. The food and bar are great for conversations near the large fireplace or while listening to their live entertainment!
