A Main Street Favorite – Love the food at the Library Alehouse. A few of my favorites: the portobello mushroom sandwich, the salmon enchiladas & the strawberry-spinach salad. Also great salsa and a nice selection of beer. On the downside, the place is a little cramped, so you may be elbow to elbow with your dining neighbors or have a tough time finding a seat at the bar after work.

Rude Manager – I stop in there often for lunch on weekends. A few weeks ago I went on a Friday afternoon. When I arrived, I was told I could not have a table because I was alone. I requested that the host ask the manager if it would be okay for me to sit at an empty 2-top. The manager said no. They sat me at the tiny counter in the front window. It's about 8 inches deep! I sat there quite a while with my menu. The manager came over and asked what I was doing there - as if I'd just walked in and parked myself there! (I don't ... read more

Holy shizz this is the best place I've ever been – Need I say more? This place will kick you right in the junk and leave you begging for more. Also, it is not a library. They got mad when I tried to check out an menu.

Great Patio on the Backside – Kind of packed inside but usually can find a great seat on the backside patio. Great selection of brews. Super spot on Main St when you dont have a reservation elsewhere. Food is above average and definitely not over priced.

Great beer, friendly staff, awesome food – I go to the Alehouse all the time, and I have been for years. The food is yummy and fresh (farmers market veggies) and everyone that work there is super friendly. The wait is generally pretty long, but I try some beers (huge selection) and it goes by quickly. Nights when they show a Laker game can be way too crowded but overall my experiences have been fun, and my meals delicious. I suggest getting there early and putting your name on the list as they don't take reservations. Fun ti... read more
