The Library. Speakeasy Bar in Ryedale

A real find. Tucked away behind a whisky shop, past the secret door and up the stairs you'll find a little gem of a bar. Chat to the barman, listen to the recommendations and relax. Just what you need after a long day eating the treats that Malton provides!

The library bar is fantastic. From it's "secret" entrance to the unique interior decor and super friendly, helpul staff. A must visit place in Malton on anybody's list.

Fabulous find! Lovely tiny secret bar. Gorgeous Christmas cocktails by candlelight above a little shop. Go to the back and through the ‘bookshelf’ hidden door.

The Library is one of those places that's so good you have to carefully decide if you really want everyone else to know about it or should it just remain a closely guarded secret. The atmosphere is what I can imagine a Prohibition era speakeasy would have been and this is only enhanced by the need to know which book on the shelf will open the hidden front door! Once you make it inside the staff are amazing, both friendly and knowledgable about the wide range of quality drinks on offer. Along the back wall you'll notice neatly presented 'lockers' that are owned by a select few to store drinks bought from the equally excellent whisky shop downstairs and further enhancing the slightly illicit feel of the place. Needless to say I strongly recommend you take the time to check out The Library - just don't tell anyone else about it.
