The Library at the Redbury

Remember his face. I understand needing security on a Friday night, but this man took his job to a whole different level. He would not let me (a 5’7″ medium/​thin female) & my friend, same size, leave our friends PAID FOR hotel room to BUY a drink at the Library Bar, which is on the same floor level. There’s a metal gate that links the Library Bar & my friend’s room. The entire POINT is access. I asked to leave my friends room to go the the bar to buy a drink & he said NO. He was holding my friend’s laptop in his hand. When I asked him why I couldn’t go through directly to the bar, he accused ME of «manhandling» him when I placed my hand on the laptop case to ask him who it belonged to, and why he was holding it. He then called security” & told them that I was a «problem» and should not be allowed back in. Redbury– this looks bad for you. I don’t know what security company you’ve hired, but this beast represents YOU and your brand. He enjoys his power more than his pay. This guy is forgetting humanity while working in hospitality. Please take note Redbury. He is bullying women, and taking advantage of you too.

I have to agree with another reviewer. I love the food and cocktails here, but I went to Happy Hour (called «Social Hour») with a friend and despite the fact that it was TWO of us, they forcefully added 20% to the bill. Meaning, they give you your bill with a 20% tip included. No matter what. I think «Katie» was our server as well!
It was annoying, because she was actually not that great, and left us alone for long stretches, and also, what place ADDS 20% automatically to the bill when it’s happy hour for just TWO people?
What a shame. Won’t be coming back.
If you are coming here and you’re a small party, let them know you do NOT want gratuity added automatically BEFORE you ask for the bill. They really need to work that out.

Great Ambience, good drinks from the bartender but our server was a joke. I should have got her name but she acted like she was a supermodel and had her nose turned up the whole night. Barley came to the table so when I went to the bar to order something she said we encourage you to order with us since you have a table. I would if she would have not come over every 30 mins. She wasn’t very attractive either for having the stuck up attitude. Skinny pale white girl who looked like a Russian male order bride. Sorry, but keeping it real like she did to us lol.

A comfy place to lay around with lots of outdoor lounges and seating. Spacious yet intimate. A great place to glide your fingers over her skin while seating in front of the flames. Great amount of mood or moon lighting to look at attractive people and to be looked at. Of course, the drinks help. lol

The place it’s very nice but you can’t wear heels because thy stuck in the floor so I need to walk bear foot on the dirty floor and the food got stuck on my feet and my shoes get ruined and I try to talk to the manager and he said that I picked the wrong shoes. My 600 $ louboutin shoes … How it can be wrong???

The atmosphere of The Library is very relaxed (more than I expected it to be – which would be the downside). I was looking for a more upbeat type of bar, but if you are looking for a peaceful vibe I would recommend this place. The look of this place is very nice and antique-​like.

Went there for our first and last time tonight, which is a shame cause we were looking for a new regular spot. Spent $ 600 in 2 hours but our waitress Katie even though she was new was horrible! Started the night asking for a bottle of sparkling water and a bottle of wine — she said I don’t think sparkling water comes by the bottle. I was like huh? She came back with a bottle of Badoit — I said oh you have a bottle! She said with confidence, yes but this is Badoit! Which I have no idea what the hell she’s talking about cause that’s what I want — a bottle of sparkling water… Ok I let that go. Then she comes back saying the bottle of wine we wanted was out — ok that’s still fine, it happens so she came back with a drink menu from downstairs.
I ordered a bottle of Moët Champagne, she leaves and comes back saying oh, the price is different here from downstairs, it’s $ 30 more here — which technically if you didn’t say that up front, you have to honor the price you gave me — but again whatever — that’s fine, not gonna argue.
We then order some food — got it — asked for ketchup — they’re out. They’re out of Ketchup??? A hotel? No wine — no Ketchup — bottle of sparkling water that magically appears — change of price with champagne… Hmm ok — still whatever.
Then made another order of food — here’s where I’m starting to get pissed cause — she doesn’t understand my order and is now giving me an attitude — first off don’t give me an attitude — you new waitress — I make more in 1 day than you make in several months!
Deal sealer and why there is 1 star — we were a table of 4 not 6, but you forcefully added 20% gratuity to the bill which you don’t have the right to! I don’t care — I’ll pay it with no questions asked but you get this 1 star and I will never go back so I hope it was worth it to the Redbury Hotel!
Great job Katie! You suck!

This place is really cool. I came here randomly nd I must say I will return! It’s perfect for the warm summer nights, but if it rains don’t come here lol. Drinks were fair price my only problem is the bathroom, if it gets packed there can be a Lil line for both men nd women since each has only one toilet. Besides that great place!

The outdoor patio is really cute. It looks like a cute hill happy hour place that I would go
To after work.

Looks less like a library than I expected, but still gorgeous inside and out. It was a little chilly on the patio, so I stayed on the lounge bench along the wall inside. There’s a pool table for you to amuse yourself if you’re with friends, but it is better suited as a date spot. It wasn’t a crowd of flashy or pretentious people; I was worried there would be people grabbing drinks here before going to the clubs along this street. The drinks were fairly strong, but not strikingly creative. It’s nice enough for a drink before or after dinner if you’re already in the area.

um, sooo I’m a little confused by the low rating, but it also makes me secretly happy because I don’t want all the little hollywood d-​bags to show up to this place because I absolutely love this place! This is the only place my friend could get me to go to in Hollywood because no line, no mean doorman, and most importantly no hollywood come here to be seen BS
That being said, the Janipolitan is the second best drink ever if you like refreshing drinks. I cannot staaaand Vodka but these go down like water
The bartenders are cool too. They’re fast!
Always a good time here :)

I had a fantastical time here with the cast of an amazing, new show. We arrived around 11ish and when our reserved section had issues because the fire kept going out; we were moved to another section with no issues. The wait staff is very attentive. All my friend had to do was sneeze and the security would approach and make sure we were okay. The music is bumpin… the DJ spins current top 40 hiphop. The drinks are STRONG. I had the Honey Sidecar and a Cucumber something… delicious!!! The ambiance is very chic and decadent. We were dancing and drinking on empty bellies. The drawback is the kitchen closes at 11 so we were snacking on the few Chia bars and almonds someone had stowed away from Kraft service. We were HUNGRY, lol and strong drinks on empty bellies makes for a super fun time! We danced, chatted and giggled even after they started rounding guests up and ushering them inside.
This is definitely a spot to throw an adult party or cut loose with the girlfriends. The only drawback I see is the kitchen closes and if you haven’t arrived by then and still wanna get your drink on, you will have to give Über a call just to get home. The specialty drinks are 15 a pop so expect to spend money here. You will enjoy yourself and the night and the beautiful hotel kind of enclosing you in. This is a very nice spot. Shout out to Brittany who kept up with all our drink orders. Tons of late night fun.

Omg my earssssss! They were literally bleeding from this place. The music was hip hop and extremely loud with a high pitched sound system. Playing this kind of music at this place makes no sense to me. It’s a lounge/​bar not a club. Ugh I wanted to stab myself in the eye.

After our dinner at Cleo downstairs, we decided to stopped by for a few more drinks before catching a movie at ArcLight across the street. A very chill and relaxing bar and lounge, it’s adjacent to hotel courtyard, lots of spacious seatings throughout the place. The small room inside has a pool table and selfie spot, looks like a good sized room for small parties, it was actually being set up for a private party that evening.
The lounge serves limited small plates, it’s mostly the same items as Cleo restaurant. I tried one of the specialty cocktails, it was not good, too ordinary to be considered craft cocktail. Later on I had a Grey Goose martini, hubby had a vesper martini and bottle of Badoit, they were tasty.
We had some down time here before ppl started coming in, it was nice and relaxing, my kind of lounging exactly. According to one of the staffs, this lounge will get crowded and very loud late night, it lasts until 2 in the morning, so we came in the right time.
I’d say this is a great place to grab a few drinks, come in early to avoid crowds or come in late if you want a happening scene.

So I finally visited this place on a weekend months ago. The crowd is chill lounge type, actually everyone was extremely dressed up. It is an Armenian crowd. Macallen is pretty pricey here but I guess it expected from a Hollywood hotel lounge. Weekend entrance was different from weekday entrance, there are stairs so ladies watch your skirt.
Open patio enclosed within the facility. Small indoor area with pool, social picture machine, seats. Great place for the summer, although it gets hot.
Restrooms are the worse for ladies. Only one restroom for the ladies, and one for the gentlemen opposite of each other at the end of the patio.
Free. No charge to get in. Music being played but no dancing. Older more sophisticated loungey crowd vs the young edm dancer.

Probably one of the chillest bars in this side of dtla. Less pretentious people, decent alcohol, and good music. Cant go wrong partying here.
There is $ 11 valet parking in the Redbury hotel, so don’t get fooled by the outdoor $ 30 parking lot right beside the bar.

No freaking bueno.
Everything that I hate about Hollywood. Pretentious assholes in line. Ego trippin’ doormen. Unnecessary line outside only to walk in and the place be dead. Just no.
I need to bring attention to that lousy doorman though. He was short, wore a f*cked up newsboy cap and carried a dumba** walkie-​talkie. Yeah him. He made several elitist and (slightly) racist comments throughout the night. He kept claiming the place was «at full capacity» and yet allowed several lames to walk in ahead of us.
At one point, this black young lady and her friends walk up and informs The Doorman that she has a table reserved under her name. The Doorman makes this big scene, asks her to wait in line so he can confirm, requests her (black male) friends to move because it’s «setting bad precedence.»
First of all, ???
Second, if she is TELLING you she has a table why are you making her wait in that long line instead of confirming her table? The entire situation was weird/​odd/​unnecessary. He eventually let her in but the fact that he made this mini fiasco really turned me and my friends off.
Especially because just minutes before The Doorman allowed 10+ white, stuck up, (fake) elites to prance right in because one of them knew him. Wack. I’m not one to throw in the race card but what I witnessed was mind-​blowing. It was pretty obvious who was more important.
To make matters worse, we FINALLY get in and the place is super turnt down. It def wasn’t at full capacity and the vibes were just off. I ordered drinks at the bar and they were subpar to say the least. The old fashioned tasted NOTHING like a traditional one should and the whiskey sour was a watered down lemonade. Plus, they were expensive only for the bartender to not even use top shelf liquor!
Best part of the night? Witnessing a full blown catfight in the middle of the outdoor patio. Super trashy! This girl full blown breaks a wine glass on another girl’s head. The other girl takes off her shoe and starts hitting her. It was a hilarious HOT MESS!
Only positives were the space itself and the music. Both on point. However, not worth any of the BS getting in. This isn’t The Nice Guy. It wasn’t like Hailey Baldwin or Kendall Jenner were about to saunter in. Two major thumbs down for me. I’ll def never be back.

Basically, no. Super pretentious, arrogant, trendy LA vibe aka everything I hate. I came here the other night for a good friends birthday. She reserved a table for all of us, me and my two other friends show up, only to wait in line for 20 minutes for absolutely no reason.
The 60-​something security guy tells us that although we had a table, we had to wait because they’re «at capacity.» I’m thinking ok, it’s Hollywood on a Saturday night, I’ll be patient. However, some short douche comes up to the same security guard, never says he has a table, and the guard lets him and 10 OTHER PEOPLE IN. (But you’re at «capacity» right?) Oh and mind you, since it is Hollywood and looks matter (which is shallow), I was with 2 girls all of whom are very easy on the eyes. But ok.
My friend asks what the hold up is if we have a table, only to get some bullshit excuse that «it’s a fire code and they’re at capacity» even though a party of over 10 was let in with no issue. To make things worse, another lady approaches the same security guard asking to get in since she reserved a table under her name. Instead of letting her right on in like he did for the part of 10+ (without ever confirming whether they had a table), he stalls this lady and her party for 10 minutes. I hate to even think like this, but I found it interesting that this man made myself and my two friends along with this other lady and her party, all of whom happened to be people of color wait for a long time. Yet, the non-​Black/​Latino huge party was let in without any issue. The guard then proceeds to tell the lady’s guests (while she’s still waiting) they «can’t stand against the wall because it sets a bad precedence.» Excuse me? The three men were not at all being loud nor acting in any sort of bothersome or harassing way, but nonetheless they were «setting a bad precedence.» He then goes on to say «sorry everyone, this is Hollywood, you know how it is, the Armenian names are easier to get in.» REALLY? No disrespect to any race or ethnicity since that should NEVER matter at this day in age, but I’m pretty sure Hollywood is a rather diverse area fulled of different people from different backgrounds. At least that’s what I thought, clearly I was wrong.
After waiting forever, my friends and I magically get in, only to be very underwhelmed. First of all, there is no rational way that facility was «at capacity» since there were not a lot of people there, at all. I saw plenty of open spaces all throughout the entire place. To make matters worse, we go to the bar to order drinks (which were pricey) and I had the nastiest Old Fashioned I’ve ever tasted. No bitters, no huge ice cube, no orange zest, and a disgusting aftertaste. My friend ordered a Whisky Sour which tasted like lemonade and no alcohol.
Overall, I think the management here has some nerve to be so shallow, picky, and arguably prejudice/​racist all for a dead scene and disgusting, expensive drinks. I will certainly never be back.

I like the outside patio as there are fire places and it’s a chill place to go too. The drinks are pretty good price and they have SPICY MARGARITAS.
I went here for my cousin’s bday. I didn’t really like the crowd, unfortunately, as the bouncer should keep an eye out on folks that are drinking. There was a guy drinking excessively and was clearly drunk out of his brains and was trying to pick a fight with my sister’s bf.

Nice place to go if you want something more relaxed than a club. A lot of socializing going on. The drinks are good and decently priced.

I celebrated a part of my birthday here recently on a wed night and I loved this place! It wasn’t too packed on a wed so my friends and I really enjoyed ourselves! We were a party of like 12 – 13 so we took up a lot of space haha! I love the fire pit in the patio area and the pool table inside! Service was beyond amazing and shoutout to our waitress who was able to put a request of like 6 steak dinners from the hotel restaurant below us! I wish I could remember her name but it was a very unique pretty name, starting with an S??? Maybe! Lol anyways my friends and I loved the ambiance and service this place and would definitely come back here for drinks!

I bet this place would be cracking when it’s summer time.
Patio was a bit slow but we did come around 10ish. I’m sure it gets more crowded around 11.
The balcony view doesn’t have an amazing view. So don’t get too excited lol. I do love the seats with the heaters near by and mini fire place at the table and the string lights! Love string lights!
Inside was very nice with a pool table and nice set up with the loungey seats.
Very loungey vibe. If you wanna party Avalon is right next door! LOL

The Redbury is right down the way on Vine St. and I never paid much attention until I had the opportunity to visit this past week.
The courtyard is a welcoming surprise to the busy city of Hollywood, enclosed enough where you can feel semi-​private, but exposed just so you can get a fantastic view. Being in the namesake shade of its name (RED), it is rather on the darker side, but once the twinkling lights come on at sundown, the patio takes on a completely different environment. There is also plenty of seating where one can relax on a sofa, or kick back in a chair. Keep in mind that their are guests staying in the rooms, and that their patio door lets them have direct access to this area (not sure if this affects seating in any way).
As for the inside, the bar has a row of stools where you can belly up and have a expert bartender craft something to your liking, or a special cocktail menu to make it easier. There is some seating along their narrow hall, below the many bookshelves (hence the Library part of the name) or if you want more space, the rooms within offer more of that underneath a chandelier.
Even though this is a pretty big space, it still comes off as being intimate. I would recommend this place to out of town visitors and locals alike; sad it took me this long to discover such a gem in the neighborhood.

I have too many good things to say about this place. The Library at the Redbury is hands down one of my favorite Hollywood spots. The atmosphere feels like a cozy parlor, with plenty of inside seating areas and a pool table. That’s right… a pool table! And not one of those tables you’ll find in sporty kinds of bars. This is a legit, parlor pool table.
The outside area may be my favorite. There is TONS of seating on comfortable couches and chairs, and it’s intimate enough where you can hear your friends speaking but open enough where you still feel like you’re in the heart of Hollywood. The music is always on point. I enjoy going on Thursday nights when DJ Ivy spins. Her sets will never disappoint.
Now let’s talk drinks. My favorite to order is The Lotus Flower. I basically told Christina (my super personable, helpful bartender) what I was looking for and she steered me towards it. She wasn’t wrong! Major props to this refreshing beverage. It was a perfect blend of sweet and sour, and the price was right. I highly recommend this.
As my friends and I were outside sipping on our drinks, Linda the GM of the Library stopped by to see how our night was going. You don’t find many places in Hollywood where management seems to care how you’re doing. I found this personal touch to be above and beyond. Oh — and if you want some small bites — order ANYTHING from their select menu. The food is beyond.
It’s Hollywood without the pretentious feeling of Hollywood.
Great place to meet up and kick it.

I loved this place from the moment I walked in. It has a cool vibe to it. The staff was super friendly. I met up with some friends and they really enjoyed the cocktails. They were impressed with the creativity of the different drinks.
We ended up staying until the bar closed. We will be back!

Went to check out the Library bar around 8:00 on a Friday night while I was in town for work. I have wanted to stop by the Redbury as I read about it online and saw it in the Audien/​Michael S. — Leaving You music video.
Very cool lounge feel with large chairs, couches, yes the inside is styled like a Library. They had hip-​hop playing inside but it wasn’t overly loud. I have never seen a place quite like this before, so I would definitely consider it unique and that is what you get with an SBE property. Walk out back and you have an excellent patio out back with gas fire pits, couches and views. The bartender Dario I think his name was took great care of the drinks inside.
The place wasn’t real crowded since it was early but the staff was friendly and welcoming. I loved the vibe and the service. Excellent place to check out if your in the area. The Redbury is an excellent property with Cleo and the Library and would love to stay at the hotel when I am back in the area in the future.

Bumping it up to five stars. Came back with the coworkers this time. Glasses of Malbec on the HH menu for the win! Had the delish cucumber dip again with that addicting lavash. They also have games so we got to play my favorite game, Cards Against Humanity. (I won, thank you very much.)
Love the vibe and seriously, this is gonna be the new go-​to spot. *cheers*

Originally, my friend and I had reservations to eat at Cleo, however, we decided that happy hour would be more fun and affordable so we headed upstairs to The Library. First, I have to say that it was my first time at the Redbury and though it seemed super hip and trendy, there were no people to be found! The atmosphere wasn’t very energetic but for our purpose of girl time to catch up, we were cool with it. We sat on their outside patio that overlooked Hollywood and it was beautiful with little lights strewn across the way. Comfy couches were spread out around individual fire pits… it really was a nice inviting area. We ordered off their happy hour menu which included a shrimp skewer, the mushroom flat bread, cucumber and yogurt dip, babaganousch, and the saffron rice. I loved the Mediterranean flare to all of their menu items as we don’t see that much in Pasadena. Everything was very tasty and for happy hour portions, they were very generous. We even had leftovers to take home! The drinks were delish as well. I ordered off the regular drink menu and had a strawberry basil drink for $ 15.
The service was okay. Our server was very present and engaged at the beginning but since we sat there for a couple hours, it was hard to get her attention towards the end. For the 2 hours we were there, there was only 1 other table out on the patio and there was no one in the inside part of the bar either. I guess Monday nights in Hollywood aren’t that popular! I hope to come back again towards the weekend and experience more energy to go along with their good food and drink!

A few of my colleagues and I came here for Happy Hour on a Sunday. They have a pretty good selection of food and $ 8 for some awesome cocktails. I am a Scotch/​Whiskey girl, so I got the Dark and Manly. Whoooa! I seriously felt hair sprouting from my chest after the first sip. Woo Weeee!!! It’s seriously strong and I’m not complaining. Well worth the 8 bucks!
I was also pleasantly surprised when the food arrived. OMG, everything was so good! This is the best Happy Hour food I’ve had in LA. Not your typical bar food and the portion was generous. I was told by our waitress that the food comes from Cleo, the restaurant downstairs. No wonder! I’ve heard great things about Cleo and I’ve always been meaning to check it out. If this is a taste of Cleo, I want more, please! We ordered a bunch of skewers (beef, shrimp, chicken), mushroom flatbread, and hummus. The hummus was very fresh, but I want to talk about the pita. The pita was piping hot out from the oven and smelled so good! It’s not often that I rave about a non-​meat item, especially pita.
And to top it all off, this place has an awesome patio area with fire pits and view of the city, nice for lounging on a summer evening. This is one of the reasons I love LA.
This has no reflection on the restaurant, but a WARNING to others. Watch out for the parking meter on Vine street and read the signs carefully!!! I did not know the meters become a tow zone after 6 pm. Unfortunately my car got towed and I got a parking ticket, almost $ 400. :(Next time I would rather pay $ 10 to park in a lot.

I decided to come here on date night with my BF and was pleasantly surprised.
To begin with Monday is all night social hour on certain food n drinks this is a great win win.
The menu has Turkish and Greek influence.
We order almost everything on the Social hour menu–
The food– simply delicious, full of flavour I’ve had the opportunity to eat authentic Turkish n Greek food this comes very close
The drinks– we had the Vinebury cocktail which is simply delicious and few others all are good
The service– the server knew the menu well and gave us delicious suggestions.
Go here on a weekday to enjoy the experience because it’s so great weekends get super crowded.

I will begin my review with the caveat that I came here for a private event in which we rented out the interior of the Library bar.
The Library bar is located on the second floor of Cleo and is a gorgeous indoor/​outdoor space. Drinks are delicious but at the bartender’s own admission quite weak. He recommended doubles for all of us, which we gladly took, but it’s probably a bit of a bummer when you’re a paying customer. I believe you can get food as well as I saw several of the guests outdoors enjoying food at their tables.
It’s a beautiful space to spend a few hours on a summer night.

Never again.
I came here with a friend on a Friday night. We arrived around 9pm, and the place wasn’t very crowded, but already had major creepers lurking in the shadows. You know, the sort of gross guys who wear too much cologne, and name drop, and/​or hype up their job to anyone within earshot. It’s enough to make a gal vom-​scream. The age range for people here was bizarre, kids around 21 up through people old enough to have grandchildren that age (variety is the spice of life, but that doesn’t mean I want to be hit on by someone my father’s age while I’m ordering a drink. Cumin and vanilla don’t mix, and old folks shouldn’t be trying to pick up children). It was very confusing: maybe that’s a Hollywood thing, I usually avoid this area so I have no clue… Anyway, we lingered in spite of this general weirdness, and sipped a few cocktails while listening to the band.
The drinks run $ 16 a pop, and they’re not great. The rooftop might be nice on an afternoon… But then again the shade is lacking so it’d probably be dissatisfactory then too. Parking blows, and there are nicer outdoor venues around town. I can’t in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.

Gorgeous indoor/​outdoor venue. The inside is styled with dark wood, a pool table and bookshelves. Outside area is more of an elevated courtyard than a rooftop. It’s so beautifully designed with tons of couches around fireplaces. Perfect spot for snuggling with your significant other while sipping on amazingly crafted cocktails. The courtyard is surrounded by tall walls that are actually the hotel rooms. The walls are painted a deep bold red that really add to the décor and ambiance.
Cocktails are $ 15 each so not cheap but they’re all so delicious! The strawberry basil one was my favorite. Super fresh and strong. The taste of strawberry and basil were evident but not overpowering or too sweet. Tequila old fashioned is crazy strong! Pass on the wine. They also serve food from Cleo! Tried to resist since we had already had dinner but eventually caved… hummus and the kebabs are all bomb. Hummus comes with freshly baked warm bread that is extremely fluffy and perfect with the hummus. Beef kebab was seasoned really well and so juicy. Def will be back! Would come with one other person or a very small group.

Beautiful indoor and outdoor venue that I might come to again, but only if someone is playing here that I like and probably only if I also make it for happy hour.
Came for the Late Night Alumni Acoustic show and the show was fantastic. Venue sets the mood for beautiful music with strings of lights, fire places, and just good vibes. Valet parking was only $ 10, compared to $ 20 across the street.
Food and drink were decent, priced great at happy hour! $ 8 for certain cocktails. We had some sort of flat bread pizza (had it look it up — the Merguez) hummus with delicious warm pita, a beef skewer, and brussel sprouts. All were great! My favorite being the pita. The flat bread was good — with a sweeter sauce and a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. One piece I had was dripping oil though. Didn’t know it could even hold that much on it! $ 47 for food and two drinks off HH.
Drinks were good — Dark & Mainly, Garbo (from the HH menu) as well as the mezcal mule and tequila old fashioned. All were good drinks! $ 8 on HH menu, $ 15 on non happy hour.
Asked our waitress if she knew what the seasonal mushrooms were, she had no idea and even none of the other wait staff inside knew apparently. Ended up telling us «it would take too long to go downstairs and ask.» So she changes our order in case we were allergic or something. Gets us the pizza with meat on it… I’m not a vegetarian but if I were? Didn’t even ask us in advance. Anyways, she was a pretty bad waitress and took her about half an hour to come back with our card. It wasn’t the busy part of the night yet so I wonder what it would have been like if we got there later!
I guess I would have never gone here if it weren’t for LNA! Great atmosphere, nice loungey spot, meh service.

I’m giving a partial review with plans to return since I didn’t try any of the food or drinks. I came for a music event at the Library and as I was there purely for the artists, I headed straight outside to the courtyard where the event was to be held. I loved the ambience and was immediately mesmerized by the lights overhead and glass firepits as soon as it turned dark enough. The sound system was great and even before/​after the event, the music was on point and a mixture of top 40 and edm. There’s even bathrooms on the courtyard itself so you don’t have to leave the bar into the hotel to get to the bathrooms.
There is meter parking around for 2 hours until 8pm, or else you’re parking in super pricey lots all around. It’s a tragedy they don’t have their own parking since I would easily come here more often it it were more accessible in terms of parking.

Absolutely wonderful Hostesses on Wednesday evening. I went to private party upstairs at the Library Bar and on the outdoor patio. When I arrived downstairs, I asked the hostesses in front of the restaurant where the party was. They told me I had to go to the side of the building, and go up the stairs for the event. I asked if there was an elevator? At first they said no — but then I asked «Is the area not handicap accessible?» And one of the hostess was so sweet and nice, and took me up the elevator, and showed me to the side entrance of the party. I regret that I did not get her name. She definitely went out of her way to make sure I made it to my event.
Even though this place is upscale, they are very accommodating to their customers. I stopped off at the restaurant on my way out, because after such nice service, I definitely want to come back again soon and bring more friends.
The patio area is wonderful and spacious. And inside the Library it is stylish and comfortable. I am glad the Host of the party had his event there, it is the perfect place for large groups.

Catching up on a 2014 review, came here on a Monday or Sunday night for drinks. No one there so it was a nice spot to get away. Looks like trendy nice spot it wanted to get intimate chat with friends.
Loved the outdoor and indoor area. You can play pool indoors. Passed by as 30minute stop by bar hopping.

The ambiance inside this place is just so cute, cozy, and intimate! We came here for a few drinks after dinner at my fav restaurant — Cleo! The tables where the fire pits were, all were marked reserved but after speaking to the bar staff — they said it would be fine to sit until the «late night rush» came in. We sat outside on the patio, which is so pretty and definitely worth coming back to on a summer night. They do make a few of the specialty drinks from Cleo downstairs, but I didn’t think they were strong enough for $ 15/​each.
Overall a great place to come for drinks in a quiet outdoor setting. Absolutely loved the ambiance and sitting near the fire pit.

I came here with my sweetie on a date night and i enjoyed it very much. Its located right in the heart of Hollywood inside the Redbury Hotel. Its great for dates, girls night or boys night.
I loved this lounge! Its a combination of some indoor and outdoor seating, lots of plush comfy couches, tables, full bar, appetizer menu and great drinks. There is a pool table in the indoor area which is where we sat. The service was superb! Our waitress, gosh i dont remember her name but she was so sweet and very attentive. She came over to take our order soon as we sat down. The drinks were great but food was even better.
We ordered the greek salad and lam sliders, they were yummy! The salad was very fresh with chunks of feta and olives, just like a greek salad should be. The sliders were soooo good. The flavor of the lamb was amazing and seasoned perfectly. We loved them and would get them again for sure. The only thing that sucked was the parking next door. $ 15 was just too much in my opinion and it would be nice if they had a small dance floor area but other than that i will be coming here again very soon.
