General info

Brandy Library is the perfect spot to unwind after work, whet your appetite before dinner, spend an evening wining and dining, have dessert and a cognac, or have the time of your life after everyone else has gone to bed. You'll find us well-stocked and willing, 7 days, 4 to 4 Thursday through Saturday, 5 to 2 Sunday through Wednesday.

 

If you can find it nowhere else, you'll find that rare spirit, say, a 1945 Darroze armagnac, Pierre Ferrand cognac 1914, or a Springbank 1969 single malt at the Library, as our collection amasses more than 900 bottles. Oh, and a menu of 100 signature and classic cocktails, carefully chosen wines and beers, and a decadent selection of hors d'oeuvres. Who says you can't please everyone?
 

Our cuisine is decadent indeed, hot, cold, sweet, savory, and all-encompassing. Where else can you get Malai Tikka, caviar, house-cured foie gras, creme brulee, fresh eclairs, or warm chocolate cake with a molten center, and more, at 4 in the morning?
 

Doctors say that feeling "choiceful" is the key to good mental health, but if having too many options makes you anxious, fear not! With our Spirit School you'll become an expert in no time. Like many industry professionals before you, you'll taste some of the finest elixirs on the planet, and learn all about the who, what, when, where, why and how. Pretty soon, you'll be the one choosing for your friends.

 

Brandy Library also boasts its own Spirit Sommelier, who not only can help you select an exquisite libation worthy of your hard-earned money, but can also tell you about the colorful history and the painstaking craftsmanship you're sipping.

 

We've been hosting lots of parties during our first year of business, and we're looking forward to hosting many more! Corporate parties, presentations, personal celebrations, customized group tastings with friends or clients, and alumni mixers - all have found a conducive and convivial home here. We'll even do your R.S.V.P.'s

 

You'll be able to have conversation like grown-ups and escape the ubiquitous drone of ambient music, as we like to play jazz on our ipod, and no, we don't mean Kenny G. If you like it live, join us on Monday nights when we feature Joel Forrester on piano, 8-midnight.

 

Get more than you paid for at the Library! Meet distillers and taste their wares on Tasting Fridays, and sample our finest and newest Scotches on Single Malt Saturdays, free of charge. On Bull Market Mondays, get instant returns on your investments - a V.S.O.P. gets you an X.O., a 12-year-old gets you an 18, and so on.

 

Some patrons are so dedicated to the pursuit of happiness that they have joined us as members. For an annual fee, members enjoy 10% off of all purchases, freedom to indulge in their own bottle of choice (with the purchase of food), private events and socials, advance notice and invitation to special events, discounts on Spirit School, personalized glassware, and cigar storage in our humidors (space permitting.) Though slots are limited, we are currently accepting applications for 2006.

 

As if food, drink, and conversation weren't interesting enough, we also have an extensive library of books on hand should you want to study further on the subject of spirits. Help yourself to one while you indulge in one of our tasting flights, say the Highland Hike or The 60's in Armagnac, to enhance your experience and become a real know-it-all.

 

As our space is intimate, we cannot accommodate or take reservations for groups larger than 6 on the weekends. But Brandy Library Below is coming soon, and we'll be able to entertain more of our friends.

 

You'll find many one-of-a-kind items at the Library, many of which are yours for the buying, including our custom-made glassware, polo shirts, coasters, and even our menu, plus a lovely selection from NYC boutique jewelers Cecile et Jeanne.

 

Situated in the heart of Tribeca, New York's gastronomic mecca, Brandy Library is just steps away from your favorite restaurants; Chanterelle, Dylan Prime, Nobu, Megu, Montrachet and Bouley, to name a few. We're at 25 No. Moore St., between Varick and Hudson, 1 block from the 1, two blocks from the A,C, & E, and just south of the Holland Tunnel.
