This is one of my favorite old haunts dating back to when I lived in Venice in the mid-late 90’s. Always loved the turkey burger and salad and wide selection of tap beers. The architectural design was cool back in the day too but they took away the cool entry canopy,
Painted the front millwork and did some other tweaks which change it a little for me. The ceiling could also use a freshen up! NTL, Chris the bartended was nice and served us up some tasty beers, tacos and mezcal! Nice walk down memory lane!

Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.

Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.

Great place. Employees were super nice, accommodating and informative. We had a large group and they helped us with organizing a large table in the back. Food came out quickly and the drinks were cold & refreshing. We had their Old Fashion (which was delicious) and of course their Guinness on tap was perfect.

Enjoyed a happy hour dinner here with friends. Happy hour is 4-6pm Monday – Friday, and is a killer deal.

Beers on tap are $7, and I enjoyed the orderville hazy IPA. Buffalo wings at $6 were great, as well as the Chef’s bbq fries (I got without bbq sauce). The Brussels sprouts were also delicious!

Hard to get good seating, but otherwise excellent spot. Patio in the back is cool too.

Really good experience here for dinner with my teenager. Staff was super friendly with us despite it being a “bar” atmosphere, and the food was really awesome. The tri-tip steak seems to be a specialty of theirs, so I tried it on a salad and really enjoyed it.

Library Ale House is a really cool spot with a cozy, relaxed vibe that lives up to its name—it almost feels like you’re hanging out in a library that just happens to serve great beer. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or winding down after a day out.

The staff was super friendly and attentive, and they’ve got a solid selection of craft beers on tap, including some local gems. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for a chill place with character and quality drinks.

This place is great! We come here before and after the midnight runners! The burgers here are phenomenal, today I had a pumpkin cider that was delicious. I highly recommend this place it’s great for a bite or just a drink at the bar they do have a back patio area that’s nice to hang out you can bring your dogs parking can be a bit of a challenge, but they’re always seems to be a place to park. Cheers

We were exploring Main Street and got hungry. Sat in the back patio which was covered but still had air flowing so it wasn’t hot and stuffy. We ordered mozzarella sticks, fish taco, taco plate and the chicken sandwich. Portions were massive! Ordered a cocktail and beer too. We were so full that we had to take a siesta after our meal. Oh, they’re also dog friendly.
