Lounge

Est. 2026 · Beneath the Library

A Secret Room

Hidden Beneath History

Where the library’s original archives once slept, the ceilings are low, the lighting is warm, and the cocktails come first. Descend the stairs. Find the door. The rest takes care of itself.

A Room That Was
Always Here

The lounge lives where the Carnegie library’s archives once did — the quietest, oldest part of the building. Original brick. Hand-painted floors. Over a century of stories pressed into the walls.

“We wanted it to feel like it’s always been here — you just happened to discover it.”

The front of the bar is crafted from the library’s original cast-iron radiators — restored, gilded, and wrapped in polished wood. Not a design choice. A statement.

Behind it: craft cocktails rooted in classic technique, a tight and thoughtful wine list, and small plates that suit a lingering conversation.
