Our Location
During busy evenings our tables are allocated one hour for drinks as standard. Please let us know if you desire a longer time and we will do our best to accommodate this.
The Library is a lively intimate environment and spaces are slightly limited. We try to give priority bookings to our Mugshot restaurant customers for pre/post dinner drinks so please be aware that we may not always be able to accommodate you during busy periods. All bookings are made on a first come first serve basis.
Discover the ultimate cocktail masterclass at The Library! Learn mixology from experts, create classic and modern drinks, and uncover cocktail history in an elegant setting. Enjoy hands-on experience, socializing, and savoring your creations with optional brunch. Elevate your cocktail skills—book now!
