The Library

The Evening

When the sun goes down we dim the lamps, turn the record over and bring out the dessert menu. Most nights it's just that. A few nights a week, there's something on.

Every week

What's on

All evenings are in the Salon. Times are Gulf Standard Time.

  • Every Tuesday · 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm

    Reading Night

    An hour of quiet reading in the Salon, phones face down. We dim the lamps a touch, put a pot of tea on every table, and the first chapter is on us. No discussion unless you want one afterwards.

    Acoustic Night

    Every Thursday a guest player takes the corner by the bookcase: oud, guitar, piano, sometimes a voice and nothing else. Seats go to whoever comes first, and the dessert menu runs all night.
