Pub Crawl, stop 2: I have been to The Library a couple of times and like it. What's not to like about college girls dressed in school girl outfits, sometimes live music and beer? The flyer stated it was offering $5 lemonade drinks and Absolute raspberry. This was apparently news to the bartender, the waitress and the manager. Good thing I had the flyer (which they then kept). The bartender said they had to do something to adjust the price in the computer and it would be just a minute. The Absolute raspberry was actually a rather big shot and was tasty. I asked for a Bud Light while waiting for my change - the bartender suggested Bud because it was $2. I took the Bud. Another guy ordered a Bud Light and the bartender again suggested Bud. The guy asked how much Bud Light was and was told $3.50, where Bud was $2. The guy decided to stick with Bud Light and was surprised to see his receipt...he said I thought they were $3.50? The bartender said "They are $4 actually..." The guy left pissed. Meanwhile this whole event was about 20 minutes and I still don't have my change. Finally I received change (after drinking the shot and half the beer). I left $1 and moved to the back of the bar where I ordered a second beer for $2.
While I like the Library in general, the negative experience with the bartender including the confusion on the drink price, the long wait for change and the incorrect price for the guy beside me deflated my opinion of this bar a little.
