| - The Library is my favorite South Side bar for 3 reasons.
1. Atmosphere. I love the decor. The downtown is nice, has a bar on one side & dining on the other side. Upstairs is a nice hang out place. Pool Table, Bar, Dining area, couches & of course books. There is also an outdoor patio with is delightful. I've sat up there during the day & at night. Both times its beautiful up there. You really don't feel like you are on the south side. This place is perfect for group happy hours, dinner with friends, dates, or just for drinks during a bar crawl.
2. Food & Drink selection. I'm always impressed with their food. I've had/or tasted quite a few things on there menu. They always find creative ways to make things in accordance with the 'library' theme. Also, being a vegetarian there are plenty of options for me. My usuals are Alice in Wonderland burger. It's a portabello mushroom burger with a delicious mayo sauce on it. Another favorite is the Edgar Allen Poe Fries! Which are sweet potato fries. The best I've had in this city! My third favorite is the Arabian Nights which is a platter of hummus & black bean hummus which veggies & pitas for dipping. It is so good & filling.
3. The Happy Hour. Not only is there 1....there are 2! You can not beat that. Its usually hard to find a happy hour in this city that goes until 7. The library Happy hour is from 5-7 & 9-11. Are you kidding me? That's great. From 5-7 you can enjoy appetizers or they may call it "small plates' for HALF OFF from 5-7 & all there amazing selection of brews are $3.35. They are good beers too...you won't find coors light here. So I usually go there get Arabian Nights, Edgar Allen Poe Fries, a brew.....& it's under $10! Amazing. Also, if you going there with a group & end up having a few more at $3.25....it's still cheaper then going to any other bar. Also if you end up staying long enough happy hour will renew again in 2 hours. Which I have done before. There is a pool table & outdoor patio. It's overall a great time I highly recommend going there. it's also a great place to take out of town guests!
