At night, it’s one of Bristol’s most exclusive speakeasy cocktail bars but The Library has just launched an exciting new daytime concept. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the 'secret' bar which is disguised as a library, is now serving afternoon teas with a twist.
Called The Library Afternoon Tea Parlour, the afternoon tea offering has been created by the bar’s chef and French baker. The afternoon tea at the St Nicholas Street venue is split into two courses, starting with savoury snacks including a tarte tatin and gougère.
The mini loaf sandwiches are baked on site with seasonal produce including the meat sourced by Buxton's Butchers (which supplies The Library’s sister restaurant Mugshot a few doors away) and the bar's very own Mugshot Earl Grey and lavender gin-cured salmon.
