About this space

Library, a Lounge in Calico Bar & Eatery, is a private library-style room defined by built-in bookshelves and an intimate lounge layout.

Design: The room pairs deep-painted wood panelling and dark trim with warm-toned velvet sofas and leather armchairs. A tall arched window, heavy curtains and pendant lighting create compact, inward-facing proportions.

Features: An enclosed room furnished with multiple sofas and armchairs grouped around low coffee tables and a central rug. Hardwood floors and a large arched window provide natural light while heavy curtains offer privacy. Free Wi‑Fi and a wall-mounted screen are available for presentations or media.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, seated social gathering or informal meeting in a private lounge.

What guests say: The Library room is warm and homely and creates a relaxed, comfortable setting. The room's layout and attentive staff support allowed events to flow smoothly and accommodate entertainment into the evening.
