We went for Restaurant Week and everything was amazing. The servers and manager were all attentive, kind and cheerful. The food was incredible and well worth the price. We can’t wait to go back soon to try their regular menu!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Library on Carson! From the moment I walked in, the cozy, book-themed ambiance and moody lighting created the perfect vibe for a relaxed evening. The staff was incredibly welcoming—shoutout to Dee and Keresty for their attentive and friendly service during our Sunday birthday brunch. They handled our large group with ease, and everything from the bottomless mimosas to the smash burgers was spot-on.

The menu is creative and delicious, with standout items like the garlic grilled cheese bites, truffle fries, and seasonal French toast. I also loved the rooftop patio and upstairs lounge with a pool table—such a cool surprise! Whether you’re grabbing cocktails with friends, enjoying brunch, or just hanging out solo, this place hits the mark.

The Library on Carson is now one of my go-to spots in Pittsburgh. Great food, great drinks, great people. Can’t wait to come back!

The Library on Carson is such a gem! The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, with gorgeous book-lined walls that make it feel unique compared to any other spot in Pittsburgh. The cocktails are creative and well-balanced, and the food is just as impressive (the truffle fries are a must-try!). It’s the perfect place for a night out with friends, a date, or even a classy solo drink. Service is always friendly and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite go-to spots in the city!

The Library on Carson is such a vibe! Cozy, stylish, and somehow perfect whether you’re here for a solo night with a cocktail or a fun date. The half-off wine on Fridays is chef’s kiss, the spinach artichoke dip and Brussels sprouts are absolute musts, and the house-made espresso martini, the Black Beauty, is the perfect nightcap. The staff are friendly, the drinks are expertly made, and the atmosphere just hits — highly recommend checking it out!

What a lovely, elegant restaurant and bar! I had some amazing cocktails and delicious food. Perfect for all occasions since they have a party room upstairs as well. So aesthetic for pictures as well. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our dinner and date night here <3

The brunch menu is delicious. It’s small but mighty. I highly suggest whatever seasonal French Toast they are offering. Additionally, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is great! It’s the little hidden brunch gem of the South Side if you ask me.

Additionally, if you’re just looking to grab a cocktail, the bar is really nice as well.

the cocktails here are sooo yummy and, for the most part, a very good price. I also like how creative they are!

The calamari was the perfect texture and crispiness! I would def order again. The burger was delicious but (my preference) needed more sauce. The margherita pizza was DELICIOUS and absolutely the star of the show… everyone should order the margherita pizza you like that type!

The ambiance was cool, trendy but also casual. I’d def come back here (especially for some cocktails and that pizza)

Adorable bar / restaurant right on East Carson St in the South Side.  The menu is compiled of American fare and the dishes are named after books & stories which is super cute!  They have daily specials, offer lunch & dinner as well as weekend brunch!  The menu is very diverse and has a ton of options, good for a group with different tastes.  They have beer, a full bar and a specialty cocktail list.  Tried the Don Quixote (choice of tequila or mezcal, lime, honey syrup, bitters & a Tajik rum) and the War & Peace (their spin on a Moscow Mule). For food, had the Crab Rangoon Dip from their prologue (appetizer) menu, the wings & garlic grilled cheese bites from their table of contents (small plates) & the Pittsburgh salad from the epilogue (soups & salads). The ambiance is very cozy and intimate with amazing décor.  The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful with picking the best menu items (it was so hard to pick what to get!).

Had such a nice time at the Library on Carson to catch up with a friend. The library vibes made the ambiance so cozy and intimate. The food and drinks were wonderful. Cierra was our server and took great care of us during our visit. Emily stopped over at our table as well during our visit- the staff was so friendly and helpful. We started with 2 glasses of Prosecco that were a special that evening ($4 each), shrimp cocktail and oysters. Everything was SO good and so fresh. After our starters, we had truffle fries with parmesan, Brussel sprouts, garlic, grilled cheese bites and the honey pig pie.

Their menu had a variety of options that anyone can find something good. They have daily specials every night:
Monday: Wing Night – $0.75 Cent Wings
Tuesday: $1 Oysters $1 Shrimp $4 Prosecco
Wednesday: Half-Off Burgers
Thursday: College Night $3 Wells/Claws $10 Select Pizza
Saturday/Sunday: Brunch $15 Bottomless Mimosa

They have happy hour specials and are available on Uber eats and takeout. There is a perfect space upstairs for private events and also have pool and darts! I would highly recommend the library on Carson to all! Will definitely be back again. Thanks for the wonderful night.
