We will be closed today for some much needed maintenance TLC at The Library today. We’re so sorry for any inconvenience, but will be back at it on Tuesday and ready to fill you up with food and beer... sweet, sweet beer. Have a great Monday - you got this!

Sooo, the Mayor of Main Street, Wally, decided to sit Coachella out this year. He’s overalls, and just can’t with the scene. Good for us, cause his Dad, Jimmy, is gonna be around slangin brews and burgs all weekend. Sooo yeah, let’s get after it.

Smarties unite! It’s that time of the month to exercise your brain muscle, while also engaging your taste buds! What a nifty treat to be able to combine the two at The Library AleHouse! Drink beer, answer questions, let’s not overcomplicate things. Starts at 6:30, please come early - it does fill up FAST and we hate turning your beautiful faces away. Good news though, is that next month we’ll have more space, as we’re reconfiguring our patio seating to help accommodate y’all for these fun events. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Don’t sleep on wine and book club. Well, sleep, but let it be the wine and book club that gets you all comfy and cozy and buzzy and nappy, then sleep. If you haven’t signed up for our wine and book club yet… then we just can’t with you. Sign up through the link in our bio, it’s a great time with greater wines and greatester people. This month’s theme is Australia, and Katie’s strapping young husband, Travis, a native Aussie, is going to be co-hosting this week. Hope to see you Tuesday!

Hey there, lovers. Come love hard on this NY strip special tonight. It comes with these delicious home made chocolate cream puffs filled with vanilla gooeyness. You can love them with a beer, or a wine, or a wine and a beer. Whatever you love to do, we’re just here to love and support you. K, love you!

02/03/2023

Merry Christmas everyone!! When you get sick of your family tonight, Jimmy’s gonna open up and pour you some comfort beers. It was his idea, not ours. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 5pm!

That’s France vs. Argentina for all you non-dorks. And yes, we’re gonna get our asses out of bed once again and do this. I mean, it’s the finals! Just don’t ask us who we’re rooting for, we’re staying neutral, like Switzerland… too bad Switzerland isn’t playing. Anyway, come play with us - we’ll have coffee, breakfast burritos and sandwiches, and beer, lots and lots of beer.

That’s right. Sh*t’s going down, let’s all go down together. We’ll be serving coffee and whipping up a limited, but delicious, breakfast menu for all y’all. Oh, and beer, we’ll still have beer too! Won’t you please join us? Don’t make us get out of bed that early on a Saturday for nothing! Let’s goooooal! (Pun intended but not proud)

If you’re reading this and you’re wearing pants, we’re assuming they’re smarty pants. Because you’re smart for following us. Good for you. Tomorrow night, you’re gonna need to put those smarty pants back on and show us who has the best smarty pants, okay? 6:30pm, take a break from eating too much candy and come to The Library to drink too much beer and answer too many trivia questions. Hope to see you and your smarty pants tomorrow.

Hi all, we're sad to say that we have to postpone tonights trivia event to next Wednesday 9/14. The reason is... well, let's just say it rhymes with Bovid. Bucking bovid always ruining the fun!
