The space is narrow yet open and spacious. The bar can accommodate approximately 12 people comfortably, a total of 3, 4 seating pub tables that are roomy there is an additional 2 pub tables that seats 3. The decor is modern with various colors tastefully changing throughout the space. There is also a kitchen serving light bites, wings, shrimp and fries. The bar server this day was also the 'cook' he did a good job balancing both tasks. Washing hands and using gloves! I ordered fried shrimp and fries. They hit the spot in a good way. I had 9 jumbo fried shrimp French fries, Coors Light and Jose Cuervo on rocks all for$18. I probably will be back.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!

It's not usual for me to request the group pop in if we're just walking by. The bevs are always on point and the bar tenders have extensive knowledge on the menu and just overall mixology. Not uncommon for me to ask the staff to "surprise me" with something. Speaking of staff, they are super friendly, consummate professionals and generally just a good time. Lastly, I think this place is a great place to meet people. I always seem to meet fun and interesting people while sitting at the bar.

Their cocktail list is thoughtful and refreshing with some really innovative signature cocktails. I saw the bartenders working hard to deliver the best experience to all their customers because the drinks were not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing. We got the Darling Daisy and The Big Roar. I highly encourage you to get the Big Roar if it is on the menu - it has two of my favorite ingredients: Matcha and Pandan. With every sip of the drink, you can smell the Pandan leaf placed delicately on top of the glass. The Library bar is consistently one of the best cocktail bars in the city and I will definitely make it a point to come back time and again.

We came for brunch and tried the Kennet Square omlette and vegan breakfast burrito. The omlette was absolutely delicious- the mushrooms and caramelized onions really stood out, and the egg was very fluffy and soft. The burrito was a little bit too salty but it improved with the salsa/pico provided. One of the highlights of the restaurants is the interior, which is decorated with farm house meets dog-theme vibe. Every room has personality and character. This would also be a nice spot to take visitors or parents when they are visiting the university.

I also order the burger, after half of it, I wasn't feeling great but figured it was because of all the toppings, etc (it's massive). A few bites in to the second half and my taste buds could distinguish what was wrong--it wasn't getting used to the interesting toppings, it was tasting RAW beef. I ordered the burger Medium. I've traveled all over the country and always order my burgers Medium. I have never had a burger come out this RAW. It was nauseating. It was closing time, so I just wanted to pay and leave. That was a very expensive meal that definitely was not worth it!! I can't believe I paid $27 for an undercooked burger. I'm thankful I got the cheese curds so I at least had something to eat that edible. Expensive and undercooked beef. Horrible.

She gave us great recs too! The Persian Garden was great. I'm not a big fan of ordering coffee/espresso/lattes but the rose flavor was something I didn't expect to like. The baba ganouj and beetroot tzatziki were both hits for the family. The baba ganouj had the smoky flavor I was looking for and the tzatziki was fresh and light. The pita was thick, soft, and warm, perfect for dipping. The kofta, tuna tartare, and crispy grape leaves weren't too bad. The kofta is quite large and the lamb didn't taste too gamey at all. The arugula and tahini really brightened the flatbread. I enjoyed the tuna tartare but I was looking for more of the tuna flavor. As for the crispy grape leaves, it was a bit like an eggroll but mushy inside. I wasn't the biggest fan of this and tzatziki dipping sauce but that's just me. Finally, the chicken mohammar and grilled kofta were both great! We enjoyed the chicken mohammar much more though. The sauce was smoky and savor while the chicken was extremely tender. The pita was perfect to encapsulate the chicken and soak up the sauce! As for the grilled kofta, we did like the wild rice and lamb. The arugula and onion went great with the lamb. It was a great introduction to mediterranean food for my parents! I'm glad we came here and I'd consider coming back!
