What players say

I've been shooting pool at the Library, now officially a Sports Bar for over 30yrs it seems! The staff has always been awesome, always good personalities! 5 bar-box tables which get taken care of yearly and plenty, I mean plenty of monitors to watch sport's. It even now has a LED ticker rolling the games scores!

★★★★★ Jackson, May 2026

Don't judge a book by its cover. We got there early before the crowd hit. Samantha was behind the bar and knew what she was doing. Sweet, easy to talk to, and totally authentic. We stayed for five hours and it seemed like 30 minutes. It is a neighborhood pub that was so welcoming to visitors.

★★★★★ James, May 2024

One of my best go to spots when I am in the mood for a beer! Plenty of pool tables and TVs to watch your favorite sports teams. Also has a jukebox and an outdoor smoking area. The bartenders Gilly and KK are super friendly as well as the rest of the staff here.

★★★★★ Rodrigo, Apr 2025

Lots of fun people who love to shoot pool. Bring your own stick they're quite competitive here. So come on in and have some fun. And if you meet Mr Bob he has some interesting stories to tell only been living in the area for 50 years
