The Library enjoys a symbiotic relationship with its sibling next door- Keong Saik Snacks– staff there are able to assist with up-to-date password information- and satiate alcohol-fueled appetites with their delicious comfort foods. A beguiling confluence of quirky names, inventive flavor and ingredient combinations, and imaginative presentation come together to delight and surprise a typically knowledgeable and adventurous clientele who appreciate the exceptional cocktail experience.Ī few selections (together with tasting notes) that exemplify the attributes of The Library cocktail repertoire are featured below. Each drink is hand-crafted with meticulous technique and attention to detail- with premium quality ingredients including house-made infusions and syrups, and top class spirits. The cocktail program at The Library is headed up by General Manager and Head Bartender- Stefan Ravalli- contributing his exceptional passion and creative curiosity to assemble into a multi-chapter “book”- both expansive and informative- the stellar drinks list. The interior decor of The Library remains a “no-go” zone for photography- helping to maintain the enigmatic element of discovery for first-time guests. Guests for The Library need to furnish the weekly updated password before a section of the bookshelves hinges open to reveal the entrance to the bar space behind. Intriguingly, the space is utilised as a pop-up space for compatible concepts- at the time of writing the acclaimed local barber & shaving parlour- “Hounds of the Baskervilles” have installed a barber’s chair- and provide barber services by appointment.
The Library is initially entered from the shophouse walkway through a minimally identified doorway- into a compact vestibule space with its rear wall of bookshelves evoking the “library” connection. While somewhat in the mold of traditional speakeasies- The Library shuns overt publicity, notably with no direct social media presence or advertising, is somewhat difficult to initially locate, requires a password for entry, and exudes a darkly seductive aura, on the other hand, The Library shuns traditions and “old school” classic cocktails, instead taking an irreverent, trend-defying approach to the creation and presentation of their cocktails, matched with an informed, yet informal style of bartender service – without pretension. Discrete entry leads to acclaimed speakeasy-inspired bar & an intimate and evocative cocktail experienceĭiscretely located in a row of restored shophouses in the increasingly fashionable Keong Saik Road area of Singapore’s Chinatown, The Library is a cocktail bar that takes its inspiration from the Prohibition-era speakeasies of the USA, but deftly re-interpreted to appeal to a contemporary clientele of discerning cocktail aficionados.
