Call me old, but I like to be able to go for a drink in a bar where I can hear myself think. Library was ideal for a quiet drink on a Friday with a friend.
The pretentiousness levels were sky high, with silly hairstyles on the ladies, wide rimmed glasses on the waiters, and cardigans on the male patrons, but it was refreshing to sit in a comfortable bar with a nice glass of wine (not too bad at $8 for the house wine) and have a conversation at normal talking level.
I loved the library decor, and the fact that the bouncer (a rather good looking gentleman) was only letting in enough people to comfortably fill the space. No fighting to get served at the library!
Since then I have heard that the cocktails there are actually rather fabulous (if pricy) and it's worth heading there for the two for one night on Wednesdays. They also do food, specialising in sweets, and I look forward to saving up enough to give them a go!
Library: Level 1, 53 Courtenay Place, Wellington
