Library Lounge

"If you're looking for a quaint space to really have a great conversation with a friend or an intimate dinner or lunch, this place has the atmosphere to enhance that. It's a hidden oasis located in the downtown area of Jackson, MS"

"This is a tiny restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The library/Southern writers theme is a nice touch. Definitely a perfect venue for the book worm or literature buff in your life. The dinner menu is excellent and the drinks are wonderful. I recommend getting reservations if possible because the seats fill up quickly! Also, while not necessarily a "dress-up" kind of place, it definitely caters to the business casual, professional types."

"The Library is a really great place to go to get a drink in a setting that is lower in volume — both people and noise. The drinks are very good — I recommend the Margaret Walker (a basil gimlet). The beer menu isn’t the most extensive, but a large selection of well made mixed drinks. The patio outside or one the the two rooms inside are great for having a drink and an actual conversation that isn’t had at a level of having to yell over people or music."

"We went here last night for a Saturday night girls’ night and had a party of 6. As soon as we walked up, we were impressed with the presentation, atmosphere, and the vibes of the library lounge and the hotel. We were seated immediately and our server was Taja! She was super personable and fun, and she did a great job. The drinks were all delicious and we enjoyed all of the drinks. Although, at about 9:30pm after only one of us had ordered an espresso martini and the bar said they couldn’t make anymore of them which seemed too early in the night for that. We ordered a few appetizers, the first of which was the pimento cheese “beignets” which were amazing!! We expected the rest of the food to follow suit. The charcuterie board was decent, the truffle fries were almost plain French fries with one or two cheese sprinkles on them, and we got the dessert sampler which was a huge disappointment. We ordered the crème brûlée, brownie, key like pie, and peach cobbler to be in the sampler and we got the brownie, red velvet cake, a cookie (?), and something that looked like white cake with green jelly icing on it (key lime pie?), and Taja said that the kitchen told her to essentially “take it or leave it”. One of the girls in the group recognized the cookie as being from Whole Foods, so I would not be surprised if everything came from a grocery store cookie, cupcake, or brownie. All of that to say, I would still suggest you check out this cool spot, but I would not take a chance on any of the food except the pimento cheese “beignets”."

"First time to eat here. The ambiance was very nice. So 1800s you would expect to see Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Nice! Menu is not really broad but a variety of steak, fish, pasta. Prices are reasonable. Really enjoyed the evening out here. Very good service."
