Is The library still open or did they completely shut down?
Went here shortly after the new ownership took over and the manager was great. However I decided to come back tonight and the bartender didn't want to make the drink I ordered and tried to talk me out of it. In the end I agreed with her that I didn't want it and we left and went to a bar that actually wanted to make money. Won't give them another chance after this.

Figured we would try them out since we heard they were under new ownership…strange experience all around. We walked in to see that we were the only people in besides the DJ and a guy sitting at the bar on his phone, no bartender in sight. I ended up walking up to the guy asking if he knew where the bartender was after us walking around for a minute. He pulled the uno reverse on me and walked behind the bar. Not bad for the first round, but we ended up getting 2 lemon drops which were their “$4 special” for the night. Long story short, I paid $8 for two half shots of vodka, lemon juice, and water, poured directly in the shot glass respectively. Not mixed, not chilled, no sugar rum…not to mention that’s not even the CORRECT ingredients. I understand a bartender not knowing how to make something, but how do you do that bad on your SPECIAL? They added pool tables though, so that’s a plus… Manager was talkative and welcoming. Toilet paper holder was broken off of the wall and upside down on the floor, it still worked for the purpose served, as it was locked and loaded with TP, so no points deducted for that, but like fever dream vibes ya know? Would give another chance overall, just no lemon drops

This place has turned around for the better with the new ownership. Definitely a place to hang out with friends.

Horrible security guards. Go downtown
Great customer service. You can smoke inside and it wasnt too busy.
Very few people as well as horrible music.
Bartenders are friendly, courteous, and attentive. Great atmosphere. Love little expensive.
Had a great time here and we loved the punching bag!
Everyone I know asks" What happened to the Library"? The ownership really fails to understand it's environment and vibe. Why a place that looks like a saloon plays EDM? I haven't seen it packed in almost 2 years. Last time I went in the manger a female was so drunk she started issues with a few people. Should be the top place but it's sadly just a shell of it's former self.

DJ was on point & bar service was fast! All around great vibes!
Some 5'2" bouncer with a power fantasy kicked us out for picking a book up off the shelf. Dude really had nothing better to do.
Good service!
Just another place full of College students
It's always packed with texas tech kids. They seem too enjoy it every weekend.
