The Library Pub Wine Tavern is a great place to chill with friends and enjoy your favorite beverage ((Guinness) and excellent Pub food. The ambiance is enjoyable and the staff are exceptional. read more

The service was fantastic. The bartender was great and answered all of our questions and went to make the drinks as quick as possible The ambience is wonderful. I've been at the bottom part of this pub as well as the top. I get the impression that the top is mainly food oriented and the bottom is more chill vibes and drinking oriented. It was great and felt super warm and comforting. The drinks were on point and worth every penny. This cozy little nook is definitely one spot that you do not want to miss out on with its unique outside look as well as the warm ambience on the inside, it's truly a wolfville gem. read more

Library Pub Wine Tavern - Double mojito I forget - Pubs Near Me - Wolfville, Nova Scotia

A nice quiet pub where we came to enjoy drinks and dessert. Much more intimate feel than the other pubs in town. Carrot cake was delicious. The service was polite but allowed for our privacy. Would return. read more

Library Pub Wine Tavern - a sign stating if you are grouchy - Pubs Near Me - Wolfville, Nova Scotia

A neat concept. Two storey pub decorated as an old fashioned library (lots of wooden bookcases filled with old books). I did not check out the upstairs but the quiet, cozy back room is where I dined both times I visited. The front tap room and adjoining patio were bustling and we felt forgotten in the back as they were understaffed. The craft beer and wine selection is excellent, but the menu has mostly lighter food. If you are hungry or in a rush I cannot recommend this place. It might be fine for vegans but there is very little in the way of comfort food. The pan fried haddock was excellent but it would be nice to have a potato option with it. How about a starch-based appetizer to help soak up the delicious beer? The flatbread fingers are not substantial and I was expecting more for $9. read more

Great little spot with incredibly great and friendly staff. This place gets packed and they're often short staffed so be patient as staff runs between two floors to serve you. The food menu is decent although it lacks veggie options (unless you're ok with a salad). The portions are pretty good (especially the fish tacos.. they're a good size!) the halibut sandwich is on a flat bread rather than a bun and I loved the zingy hot sauce on it. The one downside to this place (like many in NS), is that it's NOT accessible :( Stairs at the entrance. Stairs at the exit. And stairs to get to the washrooms located in the basement. Not much can be done about that but this cute spot just isn't great for folks of various mobility ranges. read more

Lovely afternoon spent at the old Library Pub. Enjoyed some live music upstairs. Service was great, ambiance on point and the company was the best :) read more

I think I can at the wrong time and they weren't expecting customers because the place had only 3 workers. Food took an hour to make on top of the time it took the waitress to take my order. Yes the place was busy when walking in but since they had food already so the hour cook time makes no sense. The waitress was very nice and got this place an extra star. Don't get the burger. Overcooked and dry is the only way to describe it. Get the pulled pork sliders and steak salad if you come here. read more

GOOD SWEET JESUS LORD. I cannot express enough mushy love about how much I love this place. Yes I attended Acadia University and called Wolfville my home for 5 years. Does that make me bias? Undoubtedly. Does that mean the Lib Pub doesn't deserve these stars? Hells to the no, they deserve every one. I don't even know where to begin really. Let's start with how cute it is. With both the upstairs and downstairs decorated beautifully with rich woods and quirky bar decorations, this teenie places oozes personality. Upstairs at the pub offers a good selection of live music throughout the week. Showcasing some great talent in the valley. I've been at the pub many of times when they were at capacity and it couldn't have been more than 50 people. If you're coming for live music, be sure to come early and grab a spot, otherwise you'll be standing with the other 45 people. It's a hoppin' spot. And all that dancin' to bobcaygen and don't look back in anger leaves you a little thirsty doesn't it? Get a caesar, they come with a pickle, hubba hubba. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy one to sixteen of these every week. The staff are friendly and personable and the food is ridiculous. Some of my favorites are the book club sandwich, herb crusted chicken sandwich, cabbage and feta salad, library burger, and the nachos. The nachos come on some of the best chips I've tasted and the cabbage at feta salad will have your belly grinning from ear to ear. With a pretty extensive selection of beers and wines, you really can't keep driving past the pub. It's worth the nice drive to Wolfville in the spring to check it out! read more

This is the only time that this has ever happen to us in a restaurant......We were four person (2 couples)...Three of us got served after waiting over an hour but the 4rth person was advised after waiting another hour that she would not get her order as the cook was to busy....Come on ,She ordered Nacho's.....(A bag of Corn chips, Hamburg, a sauce and melted cheese ) You got to be kidding.....To top it all off, she was not even offered the free glass of wine she drank while waiting 2 hours and then leaving empty stomach...I do not recommend this place to anyone Rheal Caissie Richibucto N.B. read more

I can make my peace with no fries when ordering a burger at a pub - but the library burger was IMO the best burger in Wolfville... then they got rid of the bun and wrapped it in a flatbread, and I'm all but certain the patty got smaller in the process. read more

one of the most arrogant servers I've ever encountered. We gave honest feedback about the food when asked how it was. This was met with defensive justifications and no effort to correct the situation. burger was mediocre at best, for almost 20$. a Total rip off. Been here a few times before with decent service and experience. looks like this place is taking a nose dive. Will bot be returning. read more

This past September was my first venture to the Library Pub in Wolfville. It's certainly not hard to see why the central locale (everything's pretty central in Wolfville) and quaint interior make this a favorite of the locals and Acadia students alike. The Library Pub has a downstairs and upstairs portion as well as a small patio in the summer. We were quite impressed with the draft cider as well as dessert options. I highly recommend you take a jaunt down to the Library Pub next summer. The drive to Wolfville is pretty enjoyable and with yummy food and a patio overlooking Main street, this makes for a great escape out of the city! ps: The downstairs portion of this establishment closes in terms of kitchen service after lunch and doesn't reopen until dinner hour. read more

The staff at the library pub are unfriendly I asked if they serve rum and coke. They don't. The place is poor quality, dark, not a very nice pub. read more

This is a cool spot with a great location on the strip in downtown Wolfville! The outside has some beautiful character to it and while I didn't make it through the inside much, I'm sure that charm runs throughout. We set up camp on the small but potent outdoor patio for some weekend day-drinking in the sun. Oddly, it was the one spot that didn't seem to have lurkers waiting to steal your chairs the same way other places did which made it an easy choice for our people watching camp for the afternoon. Servers were friendly enough but definitely not warm-and-fuzzy; attentive enough that we knew we were never forgotten, but not so on the ball that we didn't have to run in to place a drink order once or twice. Bonus points for slinging McAuslan cider. read more

Great place to enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of beer. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere is very friendly.

Great menu. Instead of trying to find the one thing that jumps out at me, I find I'm trying to decide between all the things on the menu that sound great. Lots of snack sized apps that aren't full meals. The burger with the pineapple and jalapenos is well worth the drive from Halifax alone. Also great location, cool atmosphere, and good beer list to boot. read more

I've only been to the Library Pub once, but ate one of the best meals of my life there--the greek pizza! Seriously delicious. And as someone who was just passing through town, I found it to be quite a cozy place to stop for a meal with my family. Hope I get to visit again someday! read more

Library Pub Wine Tavern - a plate of food with a salad and pizza - Pubs Near Me - Wolfville, Nova Scotia

A charming traditional pub, with Strongbow on tap. The waitress got distracted by a visiting friend, which was disappointing, but otherwise she was attentive and fun. The food is spectacular, braised lamb in a puff pastry and Thai tiger shrimp were wonderful. The burger and thin crust pizza equally as enjoyable. Enjoyed it very much. read more

We haven't eaten here yet, and I'll update when we do. We really like visiting the Library Pub for a drink when we're in the area -- nice atmosphere, friendly service, good beer for my husband and the last time we were there (for my birthday) the waitress made me an AWESOME Singapore Sling :) Upstairs is cosy and sometimes has live music. Downstairs has two rooms: bar in the front, bigger room in the back. Dark and cosy, it's got a good pub feel to it. read more

Library Pub Wine Tavern - Salad - really beautiful and tasty! Love the almonds. - Pubs Near Me - Wolfville, Nova Scotia

A unique spot with great authentic food. Not a student grab! Food (3/3 stars) The library burger, probably the best burger in the province. The food hear is catered to a small bistro setting and it does just that. There are some great small eats here and everything is made from scratch. So delicious and authentic. Atmosphere = (1/1 star) Cool little pub upstairs and a classier spot downstairs. Very home style atmosphere. There can be a lack of seating if it's busy. Service (.75/1 star) Sometimes the wait time can be a bit too long. But for the most part pretty consistent. Main Enjoyment: Eating that library burger and it's faithful companion of bread sticks and red pepper aioli. Main Complaint: Not enough seats! read more

We stopped in for a little pre-marathon dinner. The only pasta on the menu was a carbonara that my better half enjoyed. The sauce wasn't too heavy and the serving size was more than generous. I had the chicken cranberry sandwich which was possibly the best sandwich I have ever enjoyed. It was served on a very soft whole wheat bread which a side salad. No fries at this pub - which is a refreshing change from the norm. This university pub has a great casual atmosphere with phenomenal service. I had the beer special (x2) and Jen had a water which was constantly refilled. We are hoping we can stop in again tomorrow and maybe sample one of the desserts as well next time! read more

Small menu but the food is great. Very welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Good spot if you're just looking for a quiet place to have lunch with a small group. Nice selection of local beer that will be sure to have something for any beer lover. Decent selection of local wines as well. I'll be back again. read more

I stopped in at the Library Pub during a recent trip to the valley. Located on the main drag in Wolfville, their patio was a prime location for people-watching during the Apple Blossom Festival weekend. Combine that with having McAuslan Cider on tap, and you've got a place I'm willing to sit all afternoon! read more

Popped in here for a few drinks during a Wolfville weekend and was delighted to discover that they sell McAuslan Cider. Having a few drinks on the small patio was a great way to pass a few hours on a beautiful day. Also, I had their chocolate cheesecake muffin- so good! read more

This is a wonderful place to stop and get a burger and a beer. The atmosphere is magical. The old wood furnishings and dark and delightfully cozy closeness of this place is a fantastic atmosphere to escape from the winter or the rain. The food is also sourced locally which makes it all the better. I had the burger and it was wonderful. The pita fries were interesting and the dipping sauce refreshing. read more

Nice looking pub, excellent location. Understaffed at the time I was there and server had a bit of an attitude but she was taking care of the terrace, bar and back room and bussing the tables. I would be pissed too. read more

Took over an hour to get our order and they got it wrong. Server was snippy. Not going back.

We waited an hour for our burgers and the bun was really hard and stale. I ate it because I was too scared to send it back and wait another hour. The waitress was really sweet and apologetic, that's probably the only reason I didn't give this place one star. read more

The atmosphere is good... Old pub style, but the food ( salmon, scallops) was over cooked. There is a lot better food in town ... Or maybe stick to beer and burgers.... read more

Great food. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Best bar in Wolfville.

This is one of my favourite places to go - pretty much, our go to spot!!! The food is excellent - I have enjoyed everything I've ever had and I've had almost everything on the menu. My absolute favourite thing is the Library Burger - it is the best burger I've ever had! It is thick and juicy but always cooked all the way through (which is very important to me), and has great flavour. I never bother to add any extras as I like it just the way it is. My husband likes the Henry House burger which is the library burger with the addition of smoked meat, jalapenos and a pineapple ring. I always get their lemonade as it is so refreshing. I always order the house salad with my burger as it is so fresh with the great raspberry dressing. My friend who does not normally even eat meat is totally hooked on the Library burger now since I took her there. It is a small spot and can get quite noisy sometimes but we love the atmosphere. I recommend this as a great place to go with another couple as it is fun and the food is great. You might want to get there early to ensure gettting a seat in the top part, but there is also seating in the bottom area as well. read more
