View all feedback. What User likes about The Library:
A really nice student bar with amazing ambience of Teviot. You can get some standard pub food (nachos, burgers, pizzas) plus a selection of soft drinks and beers (bottle and tap).

Teviot is a pretty cool student/college bar designed, as you would expect, as a library, and in the basement of the building. Bar certainly caters to the...
