The library's theme is such a cool concept. Books in the windows, appetizers have book names and book pages on the tables. The plates are even shaped like books! So cool.
As much as I like the concept of this place, I only come here to eat or drink if a special is going on or if I have a groupon or living social. Their happy hour is pretty awesome. We went last night around 9:20 and after 9 all small plates are half off. I didn't feel like waiting until 10 for drafts to be half off, so I ordered myself a beer. They print you out an updated version of their draft list when you sit down which is pretty convenient. I ordered helltown rapture IPA which was pretty tasty!
For an appetizer we ordered fried pickles. Originally they ask for $9.50 but with the special they were $4.75.. Which is awesome because they are not worth more than $5. They literally are pickle chips that are breaded. They honestly aren't very good, but if you are craving fried pickles like I always am- they will do the job. They are definitely not the best fried pickles I have ever had- too salty and greasy and I hate that they are pickle chips( I prefer spears or fresh cut pickles).
My boyfriend ordered their pulled pork sliders from their small plates and enjoyed them. The coleslaw on them really complements the pulled pork. I went all out since we had the living social for $25 and it was half off small plates... I ordered a veggie quesadilla ($5.25 normally $10.50) and also their pepperoni rolls (around $7 normally over $14!) . The quesadilla I have had before and love! The chipotle sour cream they drizzle on too is awesome and really makes the quesadilla. They don't fall apart and they are full of flavor. The pepperoni rolls were thick! You get 4 in an order which is pretty awesome. I literally could only eat 1 , they were so big! Stuffed with pepperoni but they could have been more cheesy! Not bad for $7 but not worth $14.
The library is deserving of 3.5 stars but I rounded up. It's a cool place to check out, but like I said, go during a happy hour to get the most for your money! And check out their patio upstairs!
