Library Bistro, Seattle, Washington Restaurant Details

Food:

As part of the Alexis Hotel, The Bookstore Bar truly feels like an old book store. The space is on the smaller side but I've never felt crowded. There's high ceilings and big windows but all the dark wood, books and bottles of scotch give it a cozy, comfortable feel. The staff is always friendly and service is quick.

It's one of my favorite happy hour spots downtown. I've tried most items on their $5 happy hour menu. You won't go wrong with any of them. The mac & cheese and bleu cheese fries are both delicious. The burger with fries are a great value. My favorite though is the made to order clam chowder. Served with a side of sourdough, it comes with the clams steamed in shell and The broth is rich, creamy and not too thick. It pairs perfectly with a Maritime Hefeweizen. Go anywhere else in town and you'd easily pay twice as much!

If you're there in the summer, try and grab a spot outside on the street. It's a great way to people watch as you enjoy a drink after work.

Food:

Great happy hour clams and good drinks at reasonable prices.

I brought a large group of friends (10 people) here for breakfast as the kick off for an all day bachelor party. We had a great experience and I received a lot of compliments for choosing the Library Bistro.

The apple fritters were amazing!

Food:

There was a group of 7 girlfriends, all living a little far from each other now and we picked this place, random and read the reviews. We met there and Bones was our waiter. We met there early for brunch type and it was perfect, the environment was just what we needed, a group of loud and talkative women, happy to see each other and catch up.
The food was perfect.
Bloody Mary's were delicious.
Bones was our perfect waiter, he took care of us, as a group, took pictures of us, kept the coffee and drinks going for us, never had to call him, he was on top of it.
Amazing place, loved it, loved it!! We are going back again. This may be our new tradition place, where we meet all the time.
Thanks so much!
Claudia and the girls

Food:

The food is pretty classy and good but not excellent. I went for lunch and they have quite a few options. I'm guessing their breakfast/brunch is better and would like to go back for that. The atmosphere is pretty cool and would be a great place for work lunch meeting or to take a client, especially if they are staying in the hotel.
