"If there's any
bar on earth where I'd like to be accidentally locked in for a
couple of days, it's this one."

Seth Kugel
"The
nightspot is warmly lighted, practically sepia-toned, and the
male/female ratio is balanced beyond all expectations, given
that it's a place that has 10 pages of Single Malt Scotches on
the menu"
The New York Times

Florence Fabricant
"Everything is a warm amber at the Brandy Library, including the
lighting and the satin frocks of the waitresses who climb
library ladders to pull bottles from the shelves"

Best of New York Best Place to Close a Deal
"This
reverential temple of fine liquor draws CEOs and Wall Street
Moguls with shelves full of vintage brandies and Single Malts.
Carefully grouped Gentlemen's chairs lend an air of authority
akin to your own richly appointed study"

"The
Scotch trek crowd will find plenty to get worked up about in
this charming haunt, where everything, from the waitresses'
dresses to the leather banquettes, is the color of a fine malt"

"The
owner and his Spirit Sommelier have amassed a serious collection
of vintages stretching back to the beginning of the last century
and their employees display a commitment to the cause of spirits
that borders on the fanatical"

Maximilian Bode
"Like
books in the library, hundreds of bottles are there to be
sampled and perused at will. The intimate room has elegant
round wood tables and soft leather chairs, the music is strictly
20th century Jazz and there are high-end bar snacks available.
It's a space designed for lingering"
Forbes Life

"It is a stylish joint, but not snobbish.
The ambience is upscale, the music jazzy but light; patrons
converse rather than shout"
Whisky Magazine

Sssshhhh...!!
"What's transpired is easily one of New
York's, and indeed the World's, most elegant and refined looking
rooms. One that is most definitely conducive to slowly imbibing
a fine single malt and a plate of foie gras"

"What a menu gush the banker and lawyer
types learning new things at this posh TriBeCa lounge where an
encyclopedic liquor selection (not just brandy) is overseen by
very approachable sommeliers; with subdued, masculine decor
(picture the Harvard Club, with bottles lining the walls), it's
an expensive taste, but you'll imbibe like a Rockefeller"

"Check out the perfect dram at this
top-shelf TriBeCa temple of libation that keeps serious drinkers
in fine spirits with its jaw-dropping selection; channeling a
wood-paneled gentleman's club with bookshelves stocked with
bottles and sophisticated sommeliers, it appeals to older
finance types who don't flinch at the eye-popping tabs"
CBS News
Katie McGee June 27th, 2005
"Classic New Yorker, chic and comfortable,
sleek, great Scotches, Brandies and Rums, very pristine, very
sexy"
