Library Bar

Library Bar is a cocktail-led venue at The Abu Dhabi EDITION in the Marina area of Al Bateen. Its character is more intimate than that of a busy dining room, making it suited to guests looking for a composed setting for drinks, conversation and an evening pause.

The bar focuses on bespoke cocktails alongside EDITION classics. That combination gives the menu a balance between familiar serves and drinks prepared with a more individual approach. The venue is described as refined, with the emphasis placed on the bar experience rather than a full restaurant format.

Library Bar also hosts a private mixology experience for guests interested in the craft behind cocktails. The two-hour session explores the processes that shape a drink, including fermentation and the balance of its finished components. It also gives participants the chance to experiment and create a serve of their own. The experience adds an educational and hands-on dimension to the bar’s usual drinks service.

The setting works well for a relaxed pre-dinner drink, a nightcap or a dedicated cocktail evening. It can also suit visitors staying at the hotel who want an on-site bar with a quieter, more focused atmosphere. The bar’s offering is international in style and centred on crafted drinks and classic serves, rather than a particular regional cuisine.

Library Bar is open in the evening, with later closing on Friday and Saturday than on the other listed nights. Reservations can be requested through the venue’s table-booking option, and the bar can also be contacted directly. Located at Marina, The Abu Dhabi EDITION, it provides a polished cocktail setting within one of Abu Dhabi’s waterfront hotel areas.
