The Library on Carson

Had such a nice time at the Library on Carson to catch up with a friend. The library vibes made the ambiance so cozy and intimate. The food and drinks were wonderful. Cierra was our server and took great care of us during our visit. Emily stopped over at our table as well during our visit- the staff was so friendly and helpful. We started with 2 glasses of Prosecco that were a special that evening ($4 each), shrimp cocktail and oysters. Everything was SO good and so fresh. After our starters, we had truffle fries with parmesan, Brussel sprouts, garlic, grilled cheese bites and the honey pig pie. Their menu had a variety of options that anyone can find something good. They have daily specials every night:Monday: Wing Night - $0.75 Cent WingsTuesday: $1 Oysters $1 Shrimp $4 ProseccoWednesday: Half-Off BurgersThursday: College Night $3 Wells/Claws $10 Select PizzaSaturday/Sunday: Brunch $15 Bottomless MimosaThey have happy hour specials and are available on Uber eats and takeout. There is a perfect space upstairs for private events and also have pool and darts! I would highly recommend the library on Carson to all! Will definitely be back again. Thanks for the wonderful night.

Solid bar with some American food options. Nothing too exceptional, but a cool location on Carson and pretty well made bar food. I got to try out their chicken bacon ranch sandwich with their bar chips.It was very solid. Definitely not anything too special but not bad. The chicken itself was a bit dry and rubbery, but still decent. Not seasoned too heavily. I would have liked some more ranch, but the bacon was very good, and so was the bread.The chips were solid too. They give you a decent portion. You can also swap the chips for fries for a small upcharge. But, they were crispy and seasoned well, so I enjoyed them.All in all, a decent bar spot. Solid food and solid place in general.

Adorable bar / restaurant right on East Carson St in the South Side.  The menu is compiled of American fare and the dishes are named after books & stories which is super cute!  They have daily specials, offer lunch & dinner as well as weekend brunch!  The menu is very diverse and has a ton of options, good for a group with different tastes.  They have beer, a full bar and a specialty cocktail list.  Tried the Don Quixote (choice of tequila or mezcal, lime, honey syrup, bitters & a Tajik rum) and the War & Peace (their spin on a Moscow Mule). For food, had the Crab Rangoon Dip from their prologue (appetizer) menu, the wings & garlic grilled cheese bites from their table of contents (small plates) & the Pittsburgh salad from the epilogue (soups & salads). Crab Rangoon Dip was fine but really did not have much taste, garlic grilled cheese bites were delicious & the salad was super good and very big. The ambiance is very cozy and intimate with amazing décor.  The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful with picking the best menu items (it was so hard to pick what to get!).

Went here on wing night (75¢ each) and it was so good!! Our waitress was great and I love the vibe here - great date spot! Wings were really good and it was such a good deal.

This space is really cute!! Love the books theme and the staff was pretty nice. We were here later in the night so the kitchen was only doing fried food. We liked their fries a lot. Friends got a lot of the cheese fries and the loaded fries. The drinks were fun and creative and named after books. I really liked my mezcal drink and they had fun butter beer drinks. The seasonal menu is cute and they did themed drinks for halloween. I think that drinks are very reasonably priced here. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a cute bar and a spot for food in the south side!

Officially a regular here again. Under new ownership, I've explored the menu over the past year and really enjoy the Wednesday half off smash burgers and Monday 65 cent wings with unique flavors such as elote (almost a street corn crema) and Smokey blue that is great for dipping fries.Bartenders are attentive and friendly. Owner is always seeking feedback. Really hope this place is doing well!

One of my favorite places in pgh that I'd love to gatekeep but more people should know about it! The library always has amazing deals whether it's their $12 bottomless brunch (really!), $1 oyster and $4 Prosecco night (not kidding!), or the .65¢ wing night, which is why I stopped in the most recent time for Monday wing night. There are so many wing flavors to choose from but I usually like a dry rub or this lemon pepper sauce the best. The wings themselves are always really tender and cooked perfectly. I come in all the time for their happy hour and I love getting their $5 house wines or cocktails. The cocktail in this picture is the Annabelle Lee which was really good - sweet but also strong. Plus it's purple!Trivia nights on Wednesday's are also pretty fun and this place is great for groups. Although, if you're bringing a ton of people definitely call ahead to reserve a table.

Really good food and cocktails, with an excellent happy hour (4-7pm!) and daily specials. The owners came around and spoke with everyone there to make sure they were having a good experience, which I appreciated. The overall experience is an elevated version of the original Library. Highly recommend stopping by and checking it out!

Lovely atmosphere, the food is outstanding! We had seared scallops with balsamic glaze- to DIE FOR!! We also LOVED the Honey Pig Pizza! The sauce was sweet, the crust thin, the toppings just right. Delightful team are welcoming and great hosts! Bonus points: two NA beer selections. Green bonus points: brown paper to go boxes!!

First time visiting The Library today. Arrived about a half hour before brunch and bottomless mimosas ended. It's an interesting little spot on Carson Street. It has a big bar area, overall it's not a huge place. We ordered off the brunch menu. My wife ordered eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. I ended up with the hangover smash burger. It was a double patty, smash burger with a sunny side egg and bacon. It came with a very small side of potatoes. There was a decent sized crowd when we arrived, many of which seems to have taken advantage of the bottomless mimosas. Our server was very nice, but seemed to have a lot on her plate. The food arrived extremely quickly. We both enjoyed what we had and will return, next time perhaps earlier to enjoy the mimosas.
