We loved this place! We were staying up in Kalaheo, but we would come down to the Stevenson's Library to have cocktails and read our books. The ambiance is great, as are the cocktails. Be wary of ordering wine, which can be $14/glass -- yikes. Ask for prices first, if you are concerned with that. Friday through Monday they serve... More

Great place from dinner or late nite snack..located inside the Hyatt in Kauai. The food choice are varied from burgers to sushi. The atmosphere is that of and old mansion library with table games like pool chess. And there is always live music!

Wonderful jazz in the evenings. Good drinks and some interesting food items. The Koa wood bar and trimmings are beautiful. There are 2 pool tables to offer a distraction from the "typical Hawaiian fare". All in all, a nice oasis in a busy hotel

Great atmosphere and fantastic bartenders. We spent a lot of time meeting friends here. Actually handed out wedding invites on coasters. Very comfortable, plush surroundings.

Stevenson's Library has all the ingredients of a great bar experience (all embedded inside the Grand Hyatt). The bar has an extensive drinks menu (and they do serve a bite to eat as well). The bar counter is made from koa wood and is a landmark unto itself. There is live music in the evenings, pool tables, balcony with an... More

Ok people, this is a Grande Hyatt, not the Holiday Inn. Drinks cost a little more when you're surrounded by elegant appointments, rich woods, and beautiful views. Stevenson's Library is a sophisticated bar lounge and is not meant for families and children, even though some parents insist on bringing their screaming tykes into a decidedly adult tranquil environment.

Not much nightlife in our condo resort, so the wife and I headed to the Hyatt to check out this place based on reviews. Hotel is beautiful btw. The bar is very cool, with plenty of places to sit or lounge (inside or out). There's even a few pool tables. We each had a signature drink from the menu, chatted... More

Stevenson's Library is a beautiful bar with rich wood paneling, indoor and outdoor sitting, billiard tables, and live music. The bartenders shake delicious drinks and their lychee martinis are to die for. There is also food, so one can have supper along with drinks and entertainment. They serve great sushi Friday through Monday, and there is also a pretty good... More

Oh MY! We spent a week at the Hyatt, and two evenings hit the Library for an early (early) light dinner and drink... They had the best poke and sushi options - the poke was unbelievable good! The waiter suggested a Lychee Martini, and it was fantastic. We had the deck overlooking the Hyatt lagoon and gardens all to ourselves....... More
