Jasmine 💫February 22, 2016Where Adults come to unwind and have grown up drinks. Place empties at the proper bedtime of 3am. The bartenders take their sweet time making orders and don't card.
Gilt CityFebruary 1, 2011The Brandy Library boasts New York’s largest selection of “brown spirits,” including brandies and cognacs galore. Regulars are known to come in frequently for the weekly “Spirit School” tastings.
Adele MajorAugust 24, 2013Thinks it's the Boom Boom Room. I would go for somewhere whuch appreciates customers. Like, you know, anywhere else in NYC.
Valentin GuerinAugust 13, 2015Cosy and romantic, order a drink from the menu or pick a liquor in their library!
TaylorMay 31, 2012Surrounded by brandy lining the walls, it can be hard to stray from the bar's namesake. But the sazerac is very good if you're looking for a classic cocktail.
Melissa LonsdaleFebruary 28, 2016A little stuffy for my taste...but they have a great selection, and some really unique cocktails.
Pop Art NYCApril 16, 2011Just across the street (Varick), you'll find the still-working firehouse where the original Ghostbusters was filmed. Talk to the firefighters - they'll take your pic and sell you a t-shirt ($20). Read more
Jerry JosephFebruary 3, 2016Great chill atmosphere! Perfect for drinking whiskey... or anything really!
Neil CaronMarch 11, 2016Enormous scotch list, but too stuffy for my taste. More for the Masters of the Universe and American Psychos of the city...
Amanda RellaOctober 29, 2018Very cozy spot. Crowd is a little older. Not too many cocktails to choose from.
Alex FishOctober 5, 2015The brandy sampler is pretty interesting for the novice drinker. It even comes with instructions!
The Daily MealJune 19, 2011The Brandy Library serves New York's best gougères, and if you're hungry after a few drinks, the city's most underrated burger is across the street at Walker's. Read more
Daria ZatsepinaMarch 9, 2016Quiet and secret spot with huge selections of alcohol z nice cocktails !- Alyssa BereznakSeptember 2, 2014very fancy feeling. overwhelmingly robust liquor menu. i think this is nearby where jay & bey live.
- Chad HornerMarch 5, 2018an absurdly long list of liquors but you can just skip to the cocktails in the back
Dominick DAnielloNovember 5, 2014Try one of their whiskey tasting classes. They are well worth the money.
MetroSeeker.comAugust 20, 2011We realise it may be difficult to choose from their extensive list, but no matter. Just tell them what you don't like in your whiskey, and they can work around it!
AmateurConciergeDecember 20, 2015If this weren't in TriBeCa I'd probably hang here. Excellent spirits selection
Halstead PropertySeptember 26, 2011Features the largest selection of brown spirits in New York. If you feel like splurging, they offer a 1914 brandy that will run you about $230
Miki ReynoldsSeptember 1, 2012If you love whiskey/bourbon/scotch, you MUST come here. Often. But only if you're grown. It's a no nonsense kind of place.
Huge selection of spirits and wonderfully knowledgeable wait staff.
Manda ShettletonMarch 22, 2011cool atmosphere--the french connection is my favorite cocktail. Lamb and rice "appetizer" was full, well-prepared meal for $14
Bachelor10April 7, 2011You have to make reservations ahead of time to get in and get seated so be sure to call. If you have a decent-sized crew, reserve the downstairs room. Read more
Charles BMarch 26, 2012don't go with a big group, but if you are looking for a great cocktail and a good place to talk in TriBeCa this is your spot.
Ashley ReinerNovember 22, 2013The vegetable rolls are the best thing I've put in my mouth all week 🍣🍣🍣
J ZJuly 10, 2013If you want a mixed drink, and don't care for the thousand page menu, go for the Sidecar. Yummy.
Gary J. NixApril 9, 2011Be prepared to not only enjoy an incredible selection of brown spirits, but learn more about them as well. It's a great experience.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 26, 2011A selection of over 100 brandies from around the world, including some exclusives. I enjoyed the old fashioned here.
Jastine KhoMarch 24, 2017Absolutely imperative to come here if you love brown liquor- the selection is insane.
KB -KB-December 20, 2013It may be called Brandy Library - but make sure to enjoy their killer list of Whiskies..

Zii HammadJanuary 7, 2016This place is very full of itself, but what can you expect from TriBeCa? Good tastings!
Steven MosierAugust 19, 2011For the advanced drinker... definitely let them do the talking and questioning. This is the only booze drinkers spa for your liver!!
Randy SparksAugust 20, 2012Make sure to leverage the vast knowledge of your "librarian". Try the Camus cognac - incredible!
Ginger RiveraJanuary 31, 2012Amazing cocktails but not if you're in a hurry. Service is laid back. They also offer cigars, nice touch.
Andrew T.December 1, 2012Trust in your guide (read: waiter) because they do know their stuff about whiskey, scotch, and other lovelies.
