Reading Room / Lounge Bar / Live Music / Sweets & Treats Hidden away upstairs in the heart of Courtenay Place sits The Library.

Fun and frivilous cocktails, exquisite and obscure wines, delicious desserts, exceptional cheese and scrumptious savoury snacks make this a great place to meet before or after a show. The Library also has live music every Tuesday and Friday evening.

🌧️ Rain outside.
🎹 Live music inside.

Some weekends are made for staying in. Others are made for escaping.

Sink into a corner, order your favourite cocktail, and let the soundtrack do the rest.

This weekend, make your escape.
