- Maneesh NDecember 11, 2014Amazing margaritas, especially the Zengo, and great guacamole too. Call ahead though if you're bringing a date - if there's a private party, it can take up almost all of the seating space.
Freka SexyDecember 23, 2017Really great ambience and music. Great to meet with anyone and chat. Happy Hour menu is ... edamame and tacos are great. Drinks were bleh bleh bleh, they could def. do better!
Rewan PartiJuly 9, 2015They have great happy hours from 5-8. Must try the margaritas and tacos. A good place to meet after work. The place is in a basement under zenga!
TiffanyNovember 19, 2015Literally translates to the library (of tequila). Underground bar with extensive lists of tequila drinks. Opt for a sangria if you're not feeling like a tequila that day.
Ms HeleneAugust 5, 2016Happy hour food and drinks on a Tuesday night where you can get a seat and good service. Lamb flatbread & grilled fish tacos (2$ were best at $7 each
KaterinaJune 23, 2016Not only does this tequila and mezcal bar offer discounts on select drinks and apps every night depending on the day, it also features a “reverse happy hour” Tuesdays through Fridays from 9:30 p.m
The Corcoran GroupOctober 28, 2013Great underground cocktail bar to come to for casual drinks, but be warned - the service is terrible. We still keep coming back for the Zengo Margarita though.
SaraJune 12, 2013Happy hour 5-7pm. Get the strawberry margarita, mahi mahi tacos and braised short rib flatbread.
amNewYorkSeptember 27, 2011La Biblioteca serves its treats — hibiscus, strawberry and tamarind varieties, with tequila, of course — year-round. ($15 each).
Casey is a great bartender - makes the best spiked horchatas! My fave :)
Leanne ZJanuary 7, 2016Came for happy hour, the darkest and loudest one ever. Bar food and drinks were small and not inexpensive, friends got a table before I arrived otherwise 👎🏼
Kelsey LMay 11, 2013Has weird hours, last call on Friday was at midnight, so check the hours before coming
- Conrad Greiner-BechertMay 9, 2017Lighting and sound environment are pleasant, the bar staff was inattentive though. Nothing extraordinary or terrible about this place.
Robert LugoAugust 3, 2010Bartender could friendlier and quicker. But the tequila snowcones are great. Tamarid flavor my favorite.
I used to love this place until my last trip here when the restaurant
William Zoe FitzgeraldFebruary 18, 2011You can rent a locker for a bottle of tequila to keep when you come back!
- Used to be good but the management does not treat customers well. Recent, they told me the place opens at 7:00, which then became 9:00, then 11:00. This was after we ate dinner at Zengo. Why lie?
Always a classic - ask for Courtenay! Endless knowledge! Read more
NicoleFebruary 19, 2011It's a really young crowd on a Friday night. My friends and I are 23-25, and we felt old.
You can rent a locker to store your tequila for next time.
