Traditionally, pubs were drinking establishments that only sold beer, wines, spirits and some non-alcoholic drinks. Food that occasionally appeared on the menu were snacks, such as meat scratchings, peanuts and crisps affectionately known as pub grub. During the early 1990s, some enterprising British chefs decided to upgrade certain pubs in order to appeal to a more upscale clientele. They called their new style of restaurant a "gastropub", a combination of the French word "gastronomique" and pub. From thereon pub food has developed, and now a food menu in a pub is nearly as important as the beer menu, with most serving up pub lunches and dinners.

The Library is a nod to the gastropub aesthetic that has swept across England, and has made it's way to Malaysia. We have built upon the concept with our offer of Malaysia's largest selection of both imported and locally brewed beers, a variety of premium liquor, as well as a tantalising food menu.

We have revolutionised it further by incorporating thematic interior designs to create a conducive ambience for a nice wind down session, live band performances, game nights, talent competitions and more, for our patrons' entertainment pleasure.

Given the Malaysian love of mingling and hanging out with friends, along with the gastropub ethic of quality food and drinks, The Library concept has become iconic. Our rapid expansion is proof of its faithful following.

As we embark on our next phase of development, we are inviting you to participate in the growth of The Library throughout Malaysia, and possibly the whole of Asia.
