Anne ÅsenMarch 5, 2016A trendy bar with lots of delicious cocktails with many different, funny ways of serving them!🍸Don't forget to get your secret password to get in (or you can just guess from the photos on the wall)😀
John AJune 4, 2016Very cool speakeasy in NYC tradition. Very handsome bar staff takes care of you. Great cocktails, but ask, and they will make something not on the menu as well.
ZJanuary 22, 2017Literally a hole-in-the-wall bar with relatively expensive drinks presented interestingly! Feel like a secret agent by telling the door person the password. Ask for a hint, or just dance. 😉
CJanuary 15, 2017Good ambience, cool drinks (abeit slightly expensive). Pout at the person at the door for a password hint, or just dance
Go off-menu, with Stefan as your guide. Ask him for Breakfast of Champions (in a cereal box), the Apple Pie, or anything smoked. Say it's from Emir's menu; he'll know what you're talking about ;)
Lynette ChuaSeptember 4, 2013After trying a few of their cocktails, I must say I still like the Permanent Surprise #2 best! The kimchi really complements the drink.
Wen WongMay 11, 2016Get the weekly password to get in from The Study next door or they will let you guess by looking at the clues on the walls/shelves. Pretty cool ambience. Drinks were OK.
Caro SchieferOctober 18, 2016Great Cocktails, Great Location. You Need a password - however they are willing to help you find it out :)- BeyoncePadThaiJanuary 3, 2016One of the better speakeasy bars in Singapore now (hidden behind a "tailor"). Inventive cocktails and food bar food.
Trish TanApril 20, 2013U can try the famous Keong saik snacks' Jason's hot dog at a mini size in the library, if you don't wanna commit to a full size one next door.
Not a fan of the cocktails here & the whole password thing is pretty pretentious. But the vibe is good & they have some interesting bourbons on offer. Try the Johnny Drum.
Bianca BuenoFebruary 12, 2015I thought getting smurfed was awesome - not! However the doughnuts were fabulous!

Lloyd ParataJuly 5, 2013Great ambience. Terrific staff, cool drinks. Always enjoy a couple of drinks at the Library.
Chloe OngFebruary 19, 2013Amusing hidden bar! Smells like heaven and password (changed weekly) is required to enter!
Joey LimJune 4, 20154th or 5th trip here... nice hidden find. The password thingy adds to the secrey.
Cheen The CuriousNovember 21, 2016G&T here is called Torch Lily, The Library’s Gin Jubilee 2016 Gin & Tonic rendition
Alexandra LeiteNovember 3, 2014The whole thing with the password is soooooo silly, because this place is always empty anyways!
Krystel BendahanApril 24, 2013Got the bathtub and tea pot. The latter had a nice taste but they are not fantastic for the price. Really small portions.
Jennifer KFebruary 3, 2013Password of the week is jellybeans and apparently u can usually find it on their facebook page keong saik snacks
- Dolores LoudermilkMay 14, 2015You only need to go once. The second time it's all a bit annoying. Too loud to hear your conversation.
The cocktail that sets on fire and the rubber ducky canoe one
Kenny TeohFebruary 24, 2013Oh dear. The food here & Kheong Saik Snacks are disappointing. Bland. Lack punch. Eg Jason's Very Hot Dog has flavorless cheese and guacamole that puts your taste buds to sleep. Just drink, don't eat!
Darren TeoMarch 27, 2014Door bitch was showing us attitude before we stepped in. My Rye n Air tasted like cold cough syrup. Save your money and go Jigger and Pony instead. You'll be happier.
iPrisOctober 27, 2013Drinks are dilute, more than half glass of ice served. For $20 over a glass, better off going to Mezza nine for a proper cocktail.
- Jamie S.June 25, 2014HORRIBLE attitude by a staff named David. This is the first time I've ever felt discriminated against by a foreign (pinoy) waiter in a restaurant, and in my own country. Don't bother to visit
Aaron KyselmanJanuary 27, 2016Очень неплохо, пароль ищите в твиттере. В противном случае давите на жалость.
