Library Blu, Leela Palace Chennai

It’s a safe bet to say that Chennai isn’t the city that comes to your mind when you think of a happening nightlife. But, the capital of Tamil Nadu is now playing by its own rules and boasts of a number of new age restaurants and bars. Located at Adyar Seaface, in M.R.C Nagar, Library Blu is poised to be the new go-to venue for after-work gatherings. It offers an exclusive variety of fine malts along with a plethora of mouthwatering dishes to go with their cocktails.

Away from the bustling streets of Chennai, Library Blu offers a spectacular view of the Bay of Bengal that sets the tone for a splendid evening. Done up in shades of blue and gold, the lounge is decorated with bookshelves and minimal art objects. Its flawlessly landscaped outdoor area offers the ideal alfresco backdrop for entertaining guests. The subtle design lends a touch of sophistication to the decor that makes Library Blu an ideal choice for celebrations, business luncheons or date nights.

George Bernard Shaw once said, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” From Oscietra caviar, sirloin sliders, quesadilla, Sevruga caviar to Arabic cold mezze platter, the delicacies are diversified and tantalizing.

Reflecting the sophisticated, cosmopolitan lifestyle of Library Blu’s guests, the extensive bar programme includes a selection of cocktails crafted by the city's best mixologists. The remarkable collection of single malts are sourced from the houses of Glenfiddich, Bruichladdich and newest expressions from Bordeaux and Tuscany.
