The Library Austin

This "hopping" Downtown bar lures a "younger crowd" thirsty less for a good read than for dollar specials on well drinks and beer served up by "friendly" bartenders; it's hard to escape the "bro-bar" masses entirely on this part of Sixth Street, but those looking to "get away from the crowd and chaos" head upstairs to shoot pool or duck into faux book–lined booths.

It's a bit of a boys' club, but girls are always welcome at this clubby downtown bar.

In Short
The long room, all wood and brass and spaciousness, is often filled with frat boys, past and present. They congregate upstairs to play pool or mill about downstairs, chatting...

SHITTY SERVICE!!! Sadly from the supposed owner who was bartending and bitching about tips. If you are worried about a tip on a 3 dollar tap please consider a new career.

I went to The Library and the service was horrible! When I went to pay my tab the bartender didn't agree with the tip I gave him and broke my drink, spilling it all over my jacket and cutting my hand. When I confronted him about this he ""adjusted"" my friends tab to well over double the original amount. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Cons

- workers will assult you

Favored among Austin's large student population, Library Bar offers a buzzing atmosphere and good eats. There is a variety of very reasonably priced beer available and things get even cheaper on student night.

When Austinites want to hang out with friends and party, they tell everyone they're going to The Library (wink, wink). It's not exactly deception, but it definitely means beers before books! Frequented by a collegiate crowd, the casual place offers drink specials, a lively atmosphere, tons of like-minded folks, and pool tables to keep things active. If you're looking to socialize, The Library's...

This Sixth Street bar makes libraries fun again by having a new take on the traditional library.  Here it's all about making it loud, making it rowdy and making it fun. The crowd mostly consists of college kids, but mature personalities sometimes appreciate the ironic juxtaposition of decorator books and, on the second floor, pool and air hockey tables. The DJ starts the evening with Top-40 and...

When Austin party-goers say they're going to The Library, they don't mean that they’re going to read. A favorite among the college crowd, this downtown Austin bar offers a casual, yet lively atmosphere and plenty of great drink specials. The Library is an extremely popular place to go play a few games of pool, and since it always draws such a good crowd, there are few better bars in Austin.
