The Library at The Detroit Club — Restaurant in Detroit

After seeing the Ron Carter Quartet at the DSO, my girlfriend and I decided to check out The Library, which we'd heard good things about. Right as we walked in, Michael spotted us and immediately told us we looked incredible, then offered to take photos for us. At the time, I did not yet realize he was going to be our bartender—and oh my god, what an amazing bartender he is. In addition to being an incredibly cool guy, he made literally the best drink I’ve ever had. It wasn’t even on the menu! He chatted with us about what we wanted, and after listening to us, offered a dessert cocktail. He literally made the entire thing from scratch—it was incredible to watch him mashing up fruits. When I tasted it, I was blown away. I’m so sad I don’t remember what he called it, because it’s my new favorite drink. I’ll need to ask him next...

I was looking for something close to the convention center and this popped up in my search. And I’m so happy it did! This place is just fantastic. It’s an old building and they retained all of the old world charm. Fireplaces, large windows, high ceilings. And they’ve created a lounge space with couches, low tables, and soft lighting. Beyond that, the food and drinks are top notch! If you go during happy hour… they have one of the best deals I’ve seen in a long time. We split the meatballs and burrito salad. But it was a tough choice to narrow down on what to order. So we’ll be going back to try more!...

Happy hour cocktail menu was incredibly disappointing. They were basic generic drinks like margarita, gin & tonic, etc. but they didn’t even taste like a good generic cocktail. I expected better from such a upscale location as this. If happy hour can’t be done right with a proper drink why do it at all? Also, the prices reflected online were not the same as when I got there. I absolutely love the atmosphere and service but the lackluster happy hour menu left me...
