Consider it one of the newer swanky cocktail destinations in Philly. The Rittenhouse Hotel has added the Library Bar to class the joint up a bit.

Foobooz shares: "The new bar is located just off the lobby and contains a carefully curated collection of books and fine art. Open nightly for small bites and cocktail service, the 20-seat Library Bar aims to be Philadelphia's most sophisticated cocktail destination. Bartender Pablo "Papi" Hurtado has created a list of custom cocktails including The RH, a twist on a whiskey sour dressed up with house-made dried figs."

Some of the great pairings you'll find at Library Bar:

Foie Gras Verrine, Black Truffle and Duck Rillette paired with Hennessy Paradis Cognac
Ossetra Caviar, Fingerling Potato Chips and Crème Fraîche with Moët & Chandon, 'Cuvée Dom Pérignon', Brut, Epernay, 2000
Dark Chocolate, Caramel-Orange Mousse served with Smith Woodhouse, 1985
