If you’re seeking a unique watering hole, you’ve got to book it to the Library Lounge! Just as the name suggests, it’s a former library that’s been transformed into a lounge. And though it’s made the transition from literary haven to pub, it hasn’t lost any of its original character. It’s truly enchanting!

Hiding in plain sight, Library Lounge is located in Fairview Inn, one of the top historic hotels in Jackson.

Dating back to 1908, Fairview Inn was once a residence known as Fairview Mansion. And, fittingly, Library Lounge is located in the original library of the mansion.
