Attended here for a corporate event. The host was incredibly knowledgeable and assisted in selecting curated drinks and flights. Food was delicious and overall atmosphere, cozy.

Absolutely loved my visit to Brandy Library! I tried the Nippon II "New Territories" flight, and it was phenomenal—beautifully curated and full of unique, refined flavors. The service was top-notch: knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the spirits. The ambiance was warm, sophisticated, and intimate, perfect for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a high-end tasting experience in a cozy, elegant setting.

Brandy Library is the perfect spot if you’re looking for a quiet, intimate place to enjoy a great drink. The atmosphere is warm and sophisticated, making it an ideal escape from the city’s noise. Their collection is huge—so many incredible wines, brandies, and spirits to explore. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing night with a quality drink, this place is a must-visit. I absolutely love it here!

Finally a legit whiskey bar, thousands of bottles of whiskey of all kinds. Very mellow, dim, but classy atmosphere, lounge style with a bar, has a downstairs with additional seating if needed, also used for private events (as per the host). Very fun experience , would go again anytime.

We just stumbled upon the most incredible whiskey bar and it's now my new favorite spot in New York City! Diana, our server, was an absolute gem. She expertly guided us through the extensive whiskey selection and even allowed us to sample a few different options before making our final choice. Her knowledge and passion for whiskey were truly infectious. The atmosphere of the bar is also top-notch – it's cozy and inviting, with a warm and welcoming ambiance. We'll definitely be back for more!

Popped in for a properly made Hendrick’s martini shaken (hard) with a twist. Just in the mood, y’know? My order was heard & delivered in less than 5. Quiet. Pure. Pro. The ambience is leather & woods and aged bottles all round. I sipped & enjoyed (of course wishing there were a couple more sips for $25.05 but hey..it’s Brandy Library and there ain’t no happy hour here!) I enjoyed my 2 complimentary gougères, paid the tab & rolled out. Mission accomplished.

Overall the Brandy Library was a solid whiskey bar experience. The variety of liquors available was impressive across types (mezcal, tequila, bourbon, scotch, etc.) I will say the rare bourbon selection was more limited than I expected. The flights were a nice option to see as well - I enjoyed the Smoked Out flight in particular. The food we tried wasn't to my taste, but that was a minor issue. I'd come back again for more whiskey.

Great place to lounge and enjoy whisky and a cigar. The decor is classy, yet comfortable and they have one of the widest arrays of whiskey I’ve seen to date! Our whiskey sommelier was friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable guiding us to new flavors and profiles we hadn’t experienced before. I also loved the selection of flights to choose from and enjoyed indulging in some of my favorites that were included in the “Smoked Out” flight. I purchased a cigar for the road and plan to enjoy with a bottle of one of my new discoveries from the Brandy Library.

While I had an enjoyable time, it was sort of weird that our group of four was placed in front of a group of two, when the rest of the place did seem like they had other table options to place us. So, it seem a bit odd. Especially when online reservation showed they had no openings yet the place was half empty? The service was top notch though, with the wait staff taking their time to carefully explain the drinks, and advice on what to order based on individual taste preferences. Cannot fault service. A great variety of whiskey. Cheese board was also delicious. It sort of exudes old boys cigar club kind of feel? Ambience...not sure how I feel about it or whether I would come back. Maybe I'll come back to reassess.

I had a deeply disappointing experience at Brandy Library recently. While we were looking forward to a nice evening, the service we received—specifically from a server named Emma/Ama—was unprofessional and felt targeted. Our group felt consistently ignored and treated with a level of dismissiveness that was not shown to other tables. It was uncomfortable to feel as though we were being singled out or treated differently based on our background. This was further compounded by the extreme noise levels coming from the 'Chaos' room next door, which made the atmosphere chaotic rather than the refined experience this venue usually promises. Management needs to look into the conduct of their staff and how they handle diverse groups. We did not feel welcome here and won't be returning until these issues of service and inclusivity are addressed
