The Library on Carson

"You literally cannot go wrong here! They've got wing night, burger night, pizza night, bougie oyster and shrimp night, AND brunch on the weekends. Add the amazingly delicious (not to mention affordable) drinks, ambience, and staff and there aren't many places that can compete on Carson. The new owner has really taken a cool concept and run with it. If you haven't been back since the pandemic, you're missing on what was always one of Carson's better bars, but somehow, even better."

"We came to town to visit our college son and stopped in for cocktails on a Saturday afternoon. The dining area still had tables full of friends enjoying brunch and “bottomless” Mimosas. Prosecco is even on tap here! The vibe is sophisticated and classy, yet casual and welcoming. The new owners have done an excellent job implementing their vision of a neighborhood gathering place with a great menu, an awesome selection of beverages and an atmosphere where people can socialize and have fun. We migrated to the spacious upstairs to play pool and darts. It was a rainy day, so we were unable to utilize the patio. Our friendly bartender was happy to make me the house cocktail, Annabel Lee- beautiful AND delicious complete with a lavender bud rim! This place is special :)"

"Everything here was great! We went on a tuesday night which is $1 oysters and everyone with us loved the oysters. We also ordered wings, buffalo chicken pizza, and the fried pickles which were all delicious. The staff was super nice and friendly and the atmosphere was unlike any other bar or restaurant in Pittsburgh making it a super cool place to go! We will definitely be going back!"

"The library has reopened. The new owners did a fantastic job at the renovations to the entire place. The food and specialty drinks are awesome. They have a Sunday brunch. The portions are very nice and the food is very tasty. Give this place a try."

"AWESOME local bar. Super friendly staff, lovely regulars. The crispy chicken tenders were great, and the oysters (blue point) were fresh. Cute ambiance, dope music. Definitely worth a visit."
