The Library Bar

Dallas, Texas

The Library Bar sits inside the Warwick Melrose hotel on Oak Lawn Avenue, a wood paneled room lined with shelves and lit low. It is one of the city's longest running piano bars, and live entertainment remains part of the routine, with pianists and featured musicians playing through the week. The cocktail list runs from house creations such as The Walk Down Melrose Lane and Rosa's Margarita, made with anejo tequila, to carefully built classics like the Aviation. A wine list and a chef curated menu of elevated bites and larger plates sit alongside. Doors open in the early afternoon every day, with late service from Thursday.
