A super cozy and classy spot tucked inside the Fairmont
A super cozy and classy spot tucked inside the Fairmont Hotel, and you even get a view of the iconic clock tower while you're here. I like to come down with friends for cocktails every now and then--servers are always friendly, and the vibe is

Toronto has some amazingly creative bars, the Library bar is NOT creative nor are the house drinks tasty. While this bar is cute,m and convenient if in the hotel, it's very noisy and the cocktail menu is boring. The exact same menu is used for t
Beautiful ambiance, loved the decorations and the vibes.
We came for cocktails (we're visiting from the US and my bf saw this bar was #51 on the North America 50 best bars list) and sat at the bar extension. The bartender was still attentive and friendly. I asked for the least spirit-forward between R

The ambiance is great, but it also reminds me a lil bit of an airport lounge. I haven't tried the food, but the drinks are pretty good. It's a little tough to get the staff's attention but overall a nice place!

I wanted a swanky cocktail lounge and this was definitely the place for that. Cocktails are pricey--most $25-30 but the servers were friendly, the seating comfortable and the ambience was very special. Would go again.
A cool speakeasy bar in the ground level of the fairmont
A cool speakeasy bar in the ground level of the fairmont hotel. They take reservations and it can be busy. Cocktails are fancy, but also very expensive. Tables are very on top of each other which makes it hard to have a conversation.
AVOID THE BAR
Rip off. Went for a drink at the bar. Good service but charged $9 for a small container of mixed nuts. I have travelled all over the world never been charged for nuts at the bar. Exorbitant prices for their drinks, to add insult.
Bad
I've always appreciated the elegance and service at Fairmont Royal York, and have visited several times. The staff overall are friendly, and the hotel itself is beautiful β especially the Library Bar, which I was looking forward to returning t

I usually steer clear of hotel bars because they're all hype and I should've done the same with library bar too. I think they used to be better before but the quality and creativity of the drinks isn't worth the price you pay. The st
Great trendy place, but the drinks are expensive.
It's always busy, so be prepared to wait for service
The epitome of cocktails!!!
Whatever the fine art of cocktail making is, THIS IS IT. We definitely appreciate great mixology but this was on a whole other level. If you order βthe truthβ, I am telling you that you have never had a cocktail like this before and likely wonβ
This place was packed on Saturday night.
We were staying at the Fairmont hotel and ad to wait over an hour to get in. The space is small and quaint, but the drink menu is quite large. I had the strawberry fields, which was a nice sweet fruity drink. My fiancΓ© had the classic martini, and i
One of the best bars I've visited in my global travels.
Located in the historic Fairmont Royal York, the Library Bar has a great 'old school' vibe with fun and modern touches. The service was amazing, I was lucky to get a seat at the bar and be served by Riley, who is both a student and a master
RIPOFF
The Library Bar has come up with a new and pathetic way to rip off loyal customers. I have been going there for years and enjoying the ambiance and food. However, now if you want a decent table you have to pay for the table. Otherwise the place can b

Lovely atmosphere and lunch.
Really good service and ambience. I had a glass of Prosecco and Burrata which was absolutely delicious. My partner had a Black Lab IPA and Tuna melt which again was lovely. We shared a dessert which was I beleaguered ve Not quite a Cigar, very good a
Dull like the Toronto weather
Was raining in Summer in Toronto and the traffic was terrible. Had to cancel some events and had to settle in the hotel. The lobby was bit crowded and we settled in here. Had been here many times. Felt dull and boring. The drinks were okay. The menu
Cozy comfort
Even when you find yourself in a city with innumerable dining options, sometimes you just want to kick back, have a drink or two and a bite to eat without going far from the elevator to your hotel room. The Library Bar fits that bill very well. We
Spectacular
We went for dinner. The food and drinks were spectacular. The service was very good as well. I would highly recommend this establish for both food and drinks.
Fun Birthday Night Out
Extremely cool cocktails and a hell of an atmosphere if you're a lover of all things literature and folk like I am. Drinks were on the house thanks to the hospitable staff noticing it was my partner's birthday. 10/10. We will be back!
Came for drinks and were impressed by the food.
The atmosphere was so perfect for a snowy day!

Of course being in the Toronto Fairmont you would expect no less than 5 stars, and the Library Bar did not disappoint. Classy decor, attentive waitstaff and imaginative food along with their spectacular "Birdbath" martini made for a memorab

Always a fancy treat.
My colleague was in town staying at the Fairmount and had complimentary drinks. Library bar is tucked away in the corner of the Fairmont Hotel and the decor of the bar is very elegant and sophisticated. We asked the server to surprise us with our dri
Don't go there.
Don't order the amazing food, or revel in the fantastic service. Don't enjoy the beautiful and inviting ambiance. Don't go bonkers over the selection of amazing Scotch whiskies, NOT unreasonably priced. Don't order the perfectly prepared Paper Plane,
We came here for a drink for New Years Eve.
My drink Carry Me Away was just perfect. My husband got a egg white drink which he was completely crazy about. Not only are the drinks perfect but also the ambiance. They are moderately priced for a classy place like this. A place like this in NYC wo
I only have gotten drinks here, the martinis are what it's
I only have gotten drinks here, the martinis are what it's all about. Personally I like the secretariat as it's a very stiff drink. The espresso martini's are decent too. It's really more about the ambiance here, great date spot
lovely chance to relax after a day of touring.
Had lovely nibbles and three different cocktails to start our late afternoon in the city. Service was attentive.

The atmosphere/ambience is happening ritzy spot with well to do clientele. Comfy with close seating but high end furniture. Servers and hosts all dressed business to black tie. Service was very good. The hosts let us know about a wait since we didn't

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Library Bar Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Library Bar Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Library Bar Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Library Bar Toronto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
