    A place with a unique atmosphere, and great beer selection. The average price is quite high but you get a good quality so it is justified.

    Huge choice of different craft beers, very competent bartenders. Suggested great beers to taste. And the best thing was that at first sight looked like bar was fully packed and we considered to look for another place, but waiter showed us separate room upstairs just for us. That was amazing.

    Great place with a variety of choices, local craft. Friendly and helpful staff will help you in English as well. Cozy ambient, but become a bit crowded sometimes, so reserve your table in advance. Absolute recommendation

  • 4/5 American dream in F. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent selection of craft beer in bottles and on tap. When I got to the bar I asked for a draft list and was told they didn’t have one and was asked what style I liked. I said stout and was handled a sample of a stout. I didn’t like it so I asked for IPA and was give two IPA samples. I chose the one the bartender said was local. At no point was I ever told what the breweries of any of the beers were or what the beer names were. They were just all mystery beer which as a craft beer fan, isn’t good service. The bottle list is a bit basic. Really good if you’re just getting into craft beer, but if you’ve been around you’ve likely already tried many of them in your life. One additional thing I didn’t like was that I brought my glass back from my first beer to get a second ( something I always do since I work at a taproom and I appreciate when people do this) and the bartender served my next beer in the same glass, not really a good practice to do during Covid times.

    Everywhere needs a hook, and a beer live a dry is the perfect example! Very friendly staff who really look after the tourists, and they're very knowledgeable about the massive selection of beer. Wonderful place, and no trip to Vilnius is complete without a visit.

    Excellent knowledge of beers - covering all 250 different kinds they've got. Here you can find any type of beer that you like, learn some new and get interesting stories about each one.

    I would say this is hidden gem in Vilnius. Cozy place with great menu. Strongly recommend! Worth to mention that restaurant is pet friendly.

  • 5/5 Nohyun K. 4 years ago on Google
    I sometimes visited here when I was studying in Vilnius as a exchange student. Everything was perfect. Cozy atmosphere, nice place to chat with your fellas, also high quality of alus! (Ode to kind bartender... He introduced all their product with kindness) It have been almost 3~4 years but I cannot forget my memory of the place. I hope this place will stay the same when I visit Vilnius later.

    Great bar. Probably the widest selection of beers in Vilnius. It´s the kind of place where you can get drunk but you´ll still behave.

  • 5/5 Antanas R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Intelligent bartenders and environment, interesting and meaningful beer library tasting. A library account is here as well. And if you're lucky - the only one on the small balcony of the old town for four people on the second floor above the super cozy street of the old town, especially if it's a cozy warm evening with a nice breeze and delicious smells and good music from nearby pubs and street cafes ... Wonderful self ... Maybe just the choice of snacks in the beer library is not the most important and does not bother your head ... (Original) Intelektualios barmenės ir aplinka, įdomi ir turininga alaus bibliotekos degustacija. Bibliotekos abonementas čia irgi yra. O jei pasiseks - ir vienintelis iš staliukų mažame senamiesčio balkonėlyje keturiems asmenims antrame aukšte virš super jaukios senamiesčio gatvelės, ypač jei tai jaukus šiltas pavakarys su maloniu bryzu ir skaniais kvapais bei gera muzika iš gretimų užeigų ir gatvės kavinių tau po kojomis... Nuostabūs selfiai... Gal tik užkandžių pasirinkimas alaus bibliotekoje ne svarbiausias ir nekvaršina galvos...

    This place is amazing. It looks like a library but have so many different verities of beer plus a lot of draft beers. Beers are in good price and awesome quality

  • 4/5 Juhani S. 3 months ago on Google • 60 reviews New
    Taster menu 15 euros quite expensive. Staff quite friendly. Huge craft beer selection if you’re into that.

  • 5/5 Robert A. 6 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Amazing place for having a beer. Very wide selection of craft beers. Not so many food options but for beer and snack it is really great. Stunning Harry Potter atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Milda F. 8 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Great choice of craft beers, knowledgeable staff, lovely atmosphere. We went in the summer on a weekday so it was very quiet, but it’s a low season for them and it was lovely nevertheless. Snacks could be better.

  • 5/5 Paco R. 4 months ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Great menu of world beers. I enjoyed a few ones. Didn't take any food, so can't rate it.

  • 5/5 Anja M. 8 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Really friendly service and great beers, with so many options. We tried the tasting set and were given recommendations based on our likes and dislikes. Genuine interest from the bar staff and a friendly atmosphere. We'll be back, for sure Ačiū!

  • 3/5 Alexey P. 4 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    I'm not a big fan of rare books, so this place wasn't right! Food - snacks from the store, noisy, crowded, with maximum savings on everything. But the beer is great and the bartenders...😎

  • 5/5 cevdet a. 8 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Incredibly tasty beers. Specially toffe pudding stout. The taste is so smooth just like a dessert but a beer. Number 11 is another interesting kind. Its aftertaste like smoked sausage.

  • 5/5 Wandering F. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing selection, supremely knowledgeable staff and great tasting beers! Joris is so helpful and knowledgeable and able to make excellent suggestions. Cozy and nice decor too. Highly recommend 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Tomas J. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Great location for a premium pint - selection of local and imported taps (17 beers that is constantly changing) and around 300+ bottles/cans. You can find both - craft beers and big brands, so it’s up to you and your taste buds to decide which one to go for tonight. This is a place about beer.

  • 5/5 Ivan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good beer, nice selection. Helpful bartenders.

  • 4/5 Sofia P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and a large selection of beers.

  • 5/5 Sara E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Absolutely LOVED it!!! I am not a suuper fan of beer, but my loved one is, so we went here and even I was amazed! We ordered a tasting plank where you could choose 5 different beers. The variety of beers was huge. By following their periodic table for their beer you could easily understand which type of beer you were ordering on your planc. The staff was very polite and helpful. We came there just an hour before closing, but if we are coming here again we will definitely go here!

  • 5/5 Deividas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place if you’re looking to get craft beer. If they don’t have something you’d like on tap, they’ll most likely be able to recommend something from bottles/cans. Foreign beers are the most common here, although you can occasionally find local production on tap as well. Food options are limited, but that’s not what you’re looking for, right? Be sure to come a bit earlier, since it’s going to be packed as the night goes on.

  • 4/5 Dala R. 1 year ago on Google
    Unique concept and they have lots of beer to offer. If you are still unsure what to order, I'd suggest to try their tasting set. The barkeeper/waitress even explained to us one by one of our choice.

  • 5/5 Rodion V. 1 year ago on Google
    With a pretty decent choice of craft beers, this place offers a quietness for a couples you would not probably find anywhere else. Even a balcony for two, which is most likely busy though. But, you never know, unless you try, right?

  • 4/5 Silvia S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful bar to get a good beer!

  • 5/5 Nojus E. 3 years ago on Google

    Very cozy 2nd floor apartment, converted to a craft beer bar with a nice craft beer selection.

  • 5/5 Alessandro V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great choice of beers and really nice food platters. Staff is really polite and they all know English pretty well. It's always a bit crowded so there could be some queues for a table.

  • 5/5 Simuxxl 1 year ago on Google
    Big and unique draft beer selection. The staff is cool and polite. Snacks are great. I really enjoyed my time here. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

  • 4/5 eliana c. 1 year ago on Google
    It truly feels like a library. They have everything cataloged by type and country. Some beers can be 5eur but others are 9.90 which is a bit pricier than one would like to pay. The music didnt match the vibe, very elevator style. Id say if you are truly into craft beer, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a pub just for a couple pints, not it.

  • 5/5 Nathan 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here a couple evenings last month. Bartender remembered the beers I liked from a previous visit and gave excellent recommendations on their updated selection. Wonderful service, great atmosphere, awesome beers.

  • 5/5 Nicole 10 months ago on Google
    We went to Alaus Biblioteka a few years ago and remember it fondly. The flight of beer was really good and the bartender chose beer according to our personal preferences. We also had a little snack (grilled cheese) – so good!

  • 4/5 Cristiano G. 3 years ago on Google
    The "Beer Library" offers you a good selection of beers on tap and many more bottled. Interiors are cozy and, if you're lucky, you can seat in a small table on a balcony overlooking the street. Behind the bar you'll find a knowledgeable guy, who will be glad to assist you in choosing your pint. Good to visit even on summer weekends, since it's not crowded (probably because they have juat one outdoor table).

  • 4/5 A Google U. 6 months ago on Google
    An ideal place for beer enthusiasts. Many varieties are here to satisfy any connoisseur, and the bartender will help you choose. There aren't too many snacks, and they're not cheap, but this establishment is not primarily about food. It's genuinely for craft beer enthusiasts. Around 50 types of beer are here, the most extensive assortment I've seen in Lithuania.

  • 5/5 Balys A. 3 years ago on Google
    The best beer garden bar in Vilnius. Huge selection of tap and bottled beers, cosy atmosphere, just a bit ons pricey side, albeit for a good reason. Definitely worth frequenting.

  • 5/5 V. L. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool place to enjoy your beer. Huge selection, nice balcony to sit down facing the street (if you lucky to get that spot). Overall it’s a vibrant place. Also the barmen is excelent, knows so much and gives u different type of beers to try out before you buy a pint.

    (Translated by Google) Insanely great atmosphere! Good advice and the opportunity to try 17 beers on tap. There are also 300 bottled beers. The bar is comfortably furnished with subdued lighting and quiet background music. A bar to enjoy, to get to know new tastes and of course to talk shop about beer. The prices are quite reasonable. A must-go for beer lovers! (Original) Wahnsinnig tolle Atmosphäre! Gute Beratung und Möglichkeit 17 Biere vom Fass zu probieren. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch 300 Flaschenbiere. Die Bar ist gemütlich eingerichtet, mit gedämpftem Licht und ruhiger Hintergrundmusik. Eine Bar zum Genießen, zum Kennenlernen von neuen Geschmäckern und natürlich zum Fachsimpeln über Bier. Die Preise sind durchaus angemessen. Ein must-go für Bierliebhaber!

    I hung out with some local friends here. They tell me it has the best selection of craft beer (bottle/tap) in Vilnius. Nice open space but also some seats in the balcony. Decent bar snacks. Overall a great night out! It’s next to a nice cocktail bar if you want to take your night further with some whiskey cocktails after beer tasting!
