| - I can't believe I haven't left a review for The Library yet! I've been coming here for a number of years now, but more recently my husband and I have been coming a lot for Monday's $1 tacos and both their normal and late happy hours.
It seems there a lot of mixed reviews but I absolutely love The Library. You really cannot beat their happy hour specials. Half off all craft beer drafts and half off all small plates. The beer selection is always good. It's not super extensive but they usually have something for everybody on tap. I think their food is really delicious. I haven't had some of the items other people are saying aren't that great, but I have never been disappointed with the food here.
My favorite small plates to get are the Billy Goat's Gruff (stuff poblano peppers), Marco Polo (pepperoni rolls), and the Frida Kahlo (nachos). When we go for happy hour we typically get two small plates to share and it's always more than enough food for dinner. Anytime you have an option of meat (nachos, tacos, etc) I always recommend the pulled pork. Whatever sauce they use is delicious.
Their regular food is also really great. I'm usually partial to the sandwiches and wraps. The Blackened Canteen and Last Queen of Hawaii are really good. I love going on Mondays for $1 taco night. Most places that have taco night usually just do the typical dry beef, cheap tacos, but here you get your choice of shrimp, pork, sausage or chicken. You can also get a spicy sour cream drizzle that gives the tacos extra flavor. Definitely raises the bar for taco night!
The servers are always very friendly. Depending on the night the service can be slow sometimes, but I never mind because I really just love hanging out here. The 2nd floor back patio is wonderful when it's warm out.
The Library is definitely one of my favorite Southside places! I'll keep coming back for the great happy hour prices and delicious food.
