The Library

Don't bother with this place. Haven't even made it in there because the bouncer wouldn't let me in (wouldn't tell me why) but I've heard nothing but negative things from friends. Bar fights, people throwing bottles, rude bouncers, awful DJ's, disgusting bathrooms, and not too many people know this but they are getting sued right now for some reason, so help this ship sink and get a better bar in there. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't walk across the street to Frog and Peach or around the corner to SLO Brew. Plus if you haven't noticed it already has the worst yelp rating of any bar in SLO.

Best hip hop music among the 3-4 bars I hopped around to on a Saturday. The Library is considered the smallest bar compared to Slow Brewery and Mother's Tavern but the music makes up for it. I was also there a bit early in the night so had already left by the time this place really filled up. I didn't try out any of the drinks because I was too busy on the dance floor!

This place is no frills, strong drinks at reasonable prices. Get there early so you can snag one of the few tables, which is great for people watching and having some personal space. The Bacardi girls came by with some Bacardi and coke shots in cute little mugs. The music was loud and the dance floor was packed. It was a great mix of people of all ages. I had some delicious shots - Chocolate Cake and Spiced Apple, and unfortunately, the biggest tequila shot I've ever seen - I think it was 8oz. I had a lot of fun, but will never drink tequila again!
