Biblio (CLOSED)

Well-worn encyclopedias and whiskey bottles line the bookshelves of this lit-themed Williamsburg restaurant, from Irish lads Graham Finn and Victor Boyd (Iona, Banter Bar). The French-American menu—headed by Vynl alum Joe Macchia—is broken down via a book index: The "table of contents" features chicken-liver mousse on house-made country bread and Gouda mac and cheese topped with bacon; crispy fingerlings are under "appendix"; and a Hemingway-inspired pot de crème laced with rum custard and lime jelly is in "afterthoughts." Sixteen craft beers are on tap at the wood-paneled bar, including locals like Ommegang Gnomegang, Brooklyn Brewery's Brewmaster’s Reserve and Sixpoint Mad Scientists #14 Gratzer.
