The Library Champagne Bar

You're walking into the sort of place that takes itself seriously without being a knob about it. The Library sits within the beautifully restored Free Trade Hall on Peter Street—that proper Victorian building that's hosted everyone from Marx to The Oasis—and it's got the kind of refined atmosphere you'd expect from a Radisson Collection property. The whole library concept works because they've actually committed to it: floor-to-ceiling shelves, that hushed-but-lively buzz, and staff who know their way around a cocktail menu. It's champagne-focused but they're not precious about it. This is the kind of spot you bring someone when you want to impress them without it feeling try-hard.
