Best Beer Selection – Excellent selection of draught and bottled beer. La Chouffe Belgian is the highlight of the Library Alehouse's extensive beer list. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The Golden Beet and Arugula Salad is amazing.

Beer is one of the four food groups... – You won't need your library card to check out one of the 29 brews on tap...bring it anyway, it'll make you look more innocent when you get arrested for drooling over the menu. Killer burgers (bacon & bleu is the best), marvy meatloaf and the most jive jambalaya this side of the Big Easy. A great crew to educate your pallete about which beer goes best with what -- from seared Ahi to Buffalo wings; and the only thing hotter than the wings are the babe-o-licious bartenders. It's got a ne... read more

what you'd expect – The name expresses the spirit of the place well. Great beer - I almost always pick one of their seasonal brews. Good food - nicer than your usual pub grub but just as comforting.

Mmmm... Beer! – Super selection of beers, including my favorite Belgian Leffe Blond on tap. Yum! Nice interior -- very bright and clean, yet comfy. Seems to often have a good crowd of people. I have gone there casual, and have also gone there more dressed up and always felt comfortable. In addition to the beers, they have a bunch of quite good food. Nice heated patio in the back! One of my favorites in Santa Monica.

Warm ambiance, great beer! – The Alehouse has a nice warm feel to it, and a fantastic beer selection. Order a taster selection of their best brews to get the most bang for your buck. The food seems to be something of an afterthought to the beer, it's not bad just lackluster. I had a pretty good ahi tuna salad, but my boyfriend's steak was a bit overcooked, and not very tasty. And the wasabi mashed potatoes were, oddly, fairly flavorless. But if you stick to beer and appetizers, you should be pretty happy. Meet someone for a ... read more

Almost perfect – The Library Alehouse has a combination of a friendly, pub-esque bar indoors, and a glowing, comfortable patio area for dining in the back. The food is above average (you've probably had better, you've certainly had worse). When you're up for a night that's more about fun with friends and less about partying, this is where you need to go. It's lively but not in your face, youthful but not trendy. Another great after work spot. One drawback -- you won't be making a night of it - the latest they stay open is 11... read more

Not your average bar – Back in our single 'daze', we loved the "male"house for the easy-going, jeans-and-t-shirt wearing, I'm-not-a wannabe-actor-type guys this place attracts. Must be plain and simple: Great food, good people and a wide selection of microbrews and ales on tap. Come alone and sit at the bar--Any one of the regulars (or Mike or Chris tending bar) will probably strike up conversation with you. If want came to make table talk, take a seat on the heated patio. Menu is fantastic, offering a range from healthy far... read more

Hail the Alehouse – The Library Alehouse has become my staple restaurants for those nights that I don't feel like thinking about where to eat. I have thoroughly enjoyed every meal I've had: ribs, fish and chips, ahi sandwich, pasta...and greatly enjoy the unassuming atmosphere. It's warm and inviting. Looks like a restaurant you might find in Tahoe or Boulder. I don't drink beer, but they also have really good rootbeer on tap.
