My group of 4 attended WOAP: Not Only Murders in the Building WOAP event last Saturday at The Library and it was just brilliant! Using characters from the comedy-mystery TV series 'Only Murders in the Building', participants were given a case file to inspect and identify the murderer of Cinda Canning. I am most impressed by the detail put into creating the entire event - the event posters, the menu of delicious cocktails and accompanying snacks (dips that came out in a Dimas paper bag, the #14 Sandwich, gut milk), even the music playlist - all meticulously tied in to many key features of the TV show. And the mystery case itself! So cleverly weaved, we definitely needed to put our thinking caps on and observation skills into good use whilst trying not to get too muddleheaded having consumed 4.5 yummy cocktails in the 2-hour session :) Staff were super friendly and regularly came to check on tables to see if participants needed hints to help crack the case.

The mixologist is hands down one of the best, the cocktails I've tasted were superb. Price wise the cocktails are on the high end, but worth every penny.Highly recommend a stop in if you're in Wellington, good place for a night cap.

Had a wonderful time watching Sunday afternoon jazz in a tribute to Wayne Shorter by the Wellington Jazz Collective. Will definitely return soon.

We went on a Friday. Had the secret life of bees cocktail and ive never had honey as a predominant taste for a cocktail! It was delightful. We also had the coffee pudding which was comforting and went well with the cocktail. We also enjoyed the live jazz band which is hard to find anywhere nowadays.

I don’t know what band was playing, but it was the BEST live music ever! We went to The Library for their awesome drinks and deserts, and left the bar super happy with many smiles. Love this bar/lounge.

Stopped here on a friend's recommendation, had to use passports for entry and Australian drivers licence cannot be used. Service was lovely, drinks were nice, food was nibble size which is what you want for cocktails. Atmosphere was good

The Library is a go-to whenever I’m in Wellington. Stoked we were able to get the 2 for 1 dessert deal this the round!Cannot recommend the Secret Life of Bees for a sour yet so sweet drink enough while my partner loved the Pink Wednesday. The crème brûlée is 10/10.
