I've gone back to Library Pub at least half a dozen times. Â They are great on main entree dishes (eg. steak and chicken dishes) and the mac'n'cheese is simply heavenly. Â
Sweet potato fries are over seasoned. Â Maybe they taste better with beer?
I was really excited to try finally try the Raspberry Walnut Chicken salad but was terribly disappointed - they just use iceberg lettuce! Â HORROR.
I think I'd still enjoy going back with friends but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
I favor the Novi location, even though this one is newer. Not sure why, maybe because the Novi one was one of the first bars I frequented when I first turned 21...
As a bar, this place is not great. Maybe I'm spoiled by many other similar establishments offering so many craft and local beers now, but Library Pub is definitely lacking in this area. I found their beer selection to be a complete snooze. Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary on tap or by the bottle. Disappointing.
The food here is ALWAYS delicious, and their salads are surprisingly good! Every good salad needs a drippy, homemade ranch dressing to accommodate, and Library Pub has a great ranch dressing - and a decent honey mustard as well.
Overall, its roomy, with good food and OK beer and a good place to catch a game. I would also consider it to be a family friendly establishment (during appropriate hours).
I've never had a bad experience here. Some have been slower on service than others, but all around it's consistent.
I haven't had a bad meal either. I mean, whatever you want I've probably tried. Rubens, burgers, sammiches, fries this, tater tots that. Â Their house salad is very creative, and I love the big portion & bread stick.
Mozzarella cheese bread appetizer is killer. They have great buttermilk ranch. Â Also, seasoned add on for your fries is key. I always get the seasoned tater tots. YUM!
This is a well established place, with a great following. Pretty much posting my review to add to the star rating. If you are considering this place, just go and order something you normally enjoy at a pub. See how they do it, love it, like it, or hate.
This by far is one of the best places in Oakland County to come for consistently good food (pizza is amazing), great staff (in my opinion the best bartenders in Oakland County) and a comfy cozy place to hang with friends, watch sports, play beer pong & listen to a DJ. From the moment you walk in, you will feel part of the family and as if you had visited there multiple times in the past. Portions are generous & the drink pours are the best!! This will always be my go to place! Great place to hang with just your friends or to bring the family. Come enjoy some friendly faces, friendly service and one of the best places to watch sports...
Review Source:Great chicken fajitas. Â Enough for 2 people. Â Plus there's lots of TV's and they have Keno, which is always fun. Â The waitresses don't usually write down your order, so often times there are mistakes, but they always fix the mistakes, and the food's always good. Â We go there often.
Review Source:Over the last 6 months, we have noticed a distinct decline in the quality of the hamburgers. They are not as flavorful and robust. Kind of a bummer, since this is where I went when I craved a burger. Their other menu items still seem to be holding their own. I know I can still get a great salad - and they have even added some new ones to the menu.
Review Source:My husband and I occasionally try this place and while the service is great, the food is hit or miss. We went on a Monday night. My ribs were quite tough and I had to struggle to get the meat off the bones. Good ribs are so tender that the bones should fall out! His plain chicken breast with veggies were tasty. They do have a nice beer list. There are quick a few pubs around so if you want a meal I would go to another one. If you only want apps, beer and to watch sports it's a fine place.
Review Source:Oriental salad is the best
This is the new location, the original is in Novi, on Grand River, and just like the original, this is one of the better local sports bar in the area. Â
Quality value on the food. Â Large menu, and good specials. Â They have a number of salads, daily specials, and their pizza is pretty good too. Â Sunday pizzas are half off.
There is always a good selection of beers, on draft and in bottle.
At least 40 televisions, with every game on at least half of dozen of them.
Went here with friends after seeing a movie. We just wanted a place to sit, chat and eat some good food. First off, the bouncer was nice, but there was a DJ.
The DJ played decent music, but he was annoying as hell. He must've thought he was God's gift to the world with how often he'd interrupt a song or singer just to go, "yeah, yeah. Uh huh." For one song he had a young woman singing over the lyrics. She was ok, but he'd over-ride her mic just to do his douchebag grunting. Annoying.
I got nachos. Thought it'd be a easy, yummy thing to make at 11 at night. They came back dry and tasteless. The cheese was dried into a rock which you had to tear the chips off because they formed a giant brick. The toppings were bland and was overall just un impressive.
At the end, the waitress took our debit card to pay and she disappeared for 15 minutes. We spied her talking with some guys at a table for most of the time while she had the bill, ready to be signed, in her pocket. I guess she was too busy flirting.
My friends insist the food is better. I'd just rather avoid it altogether.
Hubby and I have been here a few times recently. Â Their food really is better than regular bar fare. Â Way better.
They have added a notable new item to their menu:  sweet potato tater tots.  Can you say yum?!  A generous portion is served with a side of  honey cinnamon sauce.  The combination tastes uncannily like a Burger King french toast stick dipped in syrup.  Only this is better!
Went there last night. Â Was kind of busy cause the tigers game was on but didn't take too long to get a table. Â Food was surprisingly pretty good. Â I recommend the chicken fajitas. Â They were better than the ones I had a local mexican restaurant recently. Â Definitely would go back for some food and drinks.
Review Source:Oh Library Pub, you never let down a girl. Â
The food is okay... they are supposedly known for their pizza, but beware Dr. Atkins... the dough is exceptionally carby/puffy/delicious. Â This is definitely a place to go if you don't know where else to go, which is easy around these here parts. Â
To me it's just a comforting place... the wood panelling makes it cozy, and the booths are really high. Â It kind of reminds me of the bar from Cheers, minus Ted Danson.
The grilled cheese is also amazing, their drinks are reasonably priced, and they are not stingy on the alcohol... I was hooked on their amaretto sours in my freshly 21 phase, which had way too much amaretto, and way too much sour for a newly minted bar goer, so they left a nice heart-shaped imprint on my liver. Â Will always be a devoutee of LP when I just want to go where everybody knows my name.
My friends and I frequent the library pub often. It is a great place to go for a quick drink after work or to go out with a bunch of friends for an evening.
Saturday nights they have half off alcohol (YEAH!) and Monday nights they have half off pizza! Which is to die for! The incredible amount of cheese they put on is stellar! You can have the option of round or square which is cool cause square is my absolute favorite!
I definitely love this bar. Beer, good. Music, good. Service, good. Food, goooooood! Highly recommend spinach artichoke dip!! Yummm
:)
Where to begin...the food there is mediocre and the service is less than mediocre. I've been here before and it has always been so-so but this time was worse than the others, so I felt I needed to write about it. The waitress had a bad attitude towards us from the beginning. She acted like she was in a huge hurry and was taking our order on the run. I did tell her that we had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon and that may be the reason but she wasn't even friendly. When our bill came and I gave her the coupon, she brought it back and said that it was for the Novi location. I must have printed off the wrong one so I asked her if I could pull the right one up on my iphone and they could take the number off of it. She asked the manager and he said no. I asked to speak with him and explained to him that I had the other coupon and all he would need is the coupon number to call it in and then it would be deactivated, no one could use it again. He said that he had to have the printed sheet. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't use this one with the other number, since anyone can print a sheet but it's the the number on it that makes it unique. He was pretty rude about it and wouldn't budge. Normally, I wouldn't mind paying full price for food if it was worth it, but the steak bites were terrible and I asked for no sauce and no butter or oil on them. They were grilled in something oily with vegetables that were soaked in something greasy. Our salads were average, as were the potato skins. It was a pretty bad experience for a girls dinner out. Maybe we could overlook the bad food and the coupon if the manager was nicer and the service was better!
Review Source:We had been here several times when it first opened but hadn't been in quite some time. Â I'm happy to report it is just as good as it always was!
We took my Mom and her husband here for dinner on Friday night a couple of weeks ago. Â We didn't get there until about 6:00 P.M. but were still able to get seats right away. Â The place quickly filled up after that. Â 30 minutes later and we would have been waiting.
Service was excellent! Â Drink orders were taken promptly and just enough time elapsed after the drinks arrived that our server was back to take our dinner order.
We each ordered a different entree and everybody was happy. Â Roger liked his steak. Â Mom raved about her french dip sandwich all weekend. Â I had the fish and chips. Â It was also great.
There was a lot of activity with all the big screen televisions but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't carry on a conversation at our table. Â I highly recommend this place for a drink and casual dining.
I visited this place with my mom on a weekday night. It was fairly crowded, which I like to think is a good sign.
There were a ton of TV's around, I could see the bar being a good place to watch a game.
However, the food left a lot to be desired. The mashed potatoes were cold and tasted like a mix that was far too buttery. The chicken was just average. The chili, however, was delicious, which merits the extra star=]
The service wasn't too good, but of course, waitresses can be a hit or miss.
The setting of the tables was also odd, with booths positioned way too close together.
Overall, this is a good place for a game and a drink,but not a place to find a good meal.
So i just got home from Library like 10 minutes ago. I'm drunk, no doubt. I was drinking hacker pschorr all night. DAMN! Anyways. Library is a cool place. There was drunk middle aged cougars shaking it all over the dance floor in front of the live band. It was great to laugh at. I hope next time I go its as funny as it was tonight. These guys were playing aerosmith and these old women were like.. "YEAH!! This is my jam!" Even though the song hasn't been cool since 1979.. anyways, it made for a really funny evening! older crowd, oh and they serve hennesy xo for $20 a shot.
Review Source:Nice sports bar and pub. Â Staff is friendly and works hard. Â The food is better than average but still bar food. Â It is very comfortable and a nice place for a regular. Â They have some great beers on tap - But the beers change. Â Alas, No longer do they have Strongbow .. Â It is in a strip mall but at the end. Â They have a nice little party room if you need one.
Review Source:Nice enough place. Decent waitstaff most of the time. Salads are served in Punchbowls with 4oz cups of dressing, so stay away if you are on a diet.
Beer selection is ok, trending towards whatever "craft" beer Budweiser is pushing at the time (Shock top anyone? Nope I will have a Bells Oberon please). Lots of TV's playing sport if you are into that, if not stay away during any event or it will be packed.
Cheap pitchers, great pizza (even better when it's on special!) The Sunday special used to be a $5 large after 5 pm, but when we just went it was $6, which is still totally worth it. You can also get a small for $4 or $5 in the afternoons. On Mondays, pizza is half off after 5. Get the flavored crust. We like parmesan, butter and garlic (the trifecta of deliciosity!)
It's my current favorite for a chill Friday night or an "I don't want to cook tonight" night.
Best turkey burgers ever, I'm sure they are a total fat bomb because they are so delicious!
Since school has been out, I've noticed a lot of families where the kids are running wild and the parents ignore it. This annoys me to no end, especially when it happens in the bar area.
I've always liked this location since it's opened. Â It never seems to be smokey and the food is more than passable. Â The Pizza is fab and there's tons of beers on tap (including Strongbow cider, which is why I constantly return).
As an extra bonus, they also have free wi-fi, so I often go there for a beer when I need to get a little work done. Â Even though the place is very 'commercial' and has no local character whatsoever, it more than does the job when you're looking for someplace clean with good food and drink.
When I lived in MI we used to go here quite a bit. It's nicer than a lot of other bars in the area, they have great pizza (which they have specials on sunday and monday nights I think). The service has always been fine. No real drink specials....I feel bad for the other reviewer, I've never been there for a crazy college kid night....there isn't even a college around....But, in my opinion above average bar food and good beer selection. Plus if you order a pitcher you get to full glasses of beer with it.
Review Source:This place should just be called "college sports bar and drunks"... I was not pleased by this place at all. Coming from DC i was expecting a nicer scene.. NOPE... a bunch of wild college kids throwing back beers.. Not the type of place I want to hang out. we walked in stayed for like 5 mins and then left we didnt even order a drink. No thanks Library Pub!
Review Source:Like previous reviewers, I'd say it's just an average bar, although their patio is quite nice during the summer. Happy Hour is not especially cheap, just average, but the pizza is fantastic.
I'd choose this location over the other any day because this one is much more spacious inside, as well as having the great outdoor seating. But otherwise they're the same.
