The Library - Bars Near Me - Vacaville, California

A gem in Vacaville, CA. The space is beautiful, the staff is warm and inviting. Sal was inviting and quick, he cares about every step in the process of making every drink. The food is amazing. The pizzas came out perfect. The library, living up-to its name is full of books and shelves with large windows that spill the late afternoon sun through the entire bar. Definitely my favorite place to meet some friends and grab a drink. read more

The Library - The Carnegie Coffee - bourbon, house coffee liqueur, espresso, agave, Bailey's float. - Bars Near Me - Vacaville, California

Tucked inside a 100-year-old library building, this spot blends history with charm. The bar has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, solid drinks, and great food at fair prices. The service really stood out too -- Marnae was dope and took the time to give us a full tour of the place, which made the experience even better. The new speakeasy downstairs is the cherry on top -- perfect for sipping whiskey. If they'd let me, I'd hang out all evening, maybe with a cigar. read more

The Library Bar was such a cool experience. I absolutely love books, so this place was perfect for me. The atmosphere was cozy, unique, and full of character. I ordered a Midori Sour, husband has a michelada no alcohol and it was refreshing and well made. Service was good, and while the food was o yummy they are on the smaller side though, so if you're hungry, I recommend ordering one for yourself. I'm from out of town, but this is definitely a spot I'll visit again and recommend all book lover to visit you won't be disappointed. read more

It's a decent place, but the food can be a bit overpriced. It can be a pretentious place at times, but the service was prompt.

Super friendly staff, love the vibe, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks tasted good and were made well. Pizza was made in a woodfire grill which added flavor! Tri-tip salad was made fresh and the wings were pretty average. Overall, I recommend coming here with friends or your significant other, on the pricier side for the food, average prices for the drinks. read more

What a nice little surprise! I met a friend here. Walked up to this place and was in awe. Such a beautiful building. Loved the inside as well. I was greeted right away and staff made me feel comfortable! My lemon drop was delicious. Shared the margarita pizza. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Great first date meet up! read more

Took 25 minutes to make a salad. Seemed the hostess wanted me to pay before receiving the food. Pretty cool building. the bartender brought the cocktail but forgot the water. The kitchen help brought the salad out. Had to ask for utensils. The rr gimmel was good. Charges 8.13% Vacaville tax. Wanted to try the beets salad read more

Discovered this place while looking for a brunch spot. They do not do brunch, as they open at 3pm, but they are connected with Journey next door, if you want to sit outside on the Library's beautiful patio. We ended up going back to the Library for cocktails after a Davis event in Vacaville. The bar was a little slow getting our drinks out. We didn't order any food, but what I saw at the next table looked incredible. The Library totally gives off Harry Potter vibes, and was an awesome place to hang out and eat and drink! The Victorian style 2-story house was just beautiful, with all of the dark wood furniture, books galore, and a piano in the corner. They also have live musicians perform on certain nights. The restrooms are downstairs (also elevator access if you want to avoid climbing up and down the steep stairwell). Highly recommend checking this place out...see what I did there for those of you old enough to remember physically checking books out from the library! read more

My husband and I came here for a date night - we were definitely surprised by the atmosphere! Such a cute library with a fully stocked bar and live band playing in the corner. We ordered a wood firestone pizza and LOVED it! We got beer on draft and cocktails were also delicious! The only downside is that it can get crowded inside - making it difficult to navigate to your table as the tables and chairs are close together. However - I would still suggest going as it's a quite an experience! read more

They serve the best Margarita thin crusted pizza around. It might a little burnt around the edges some times as it is fire roasted grill, but the simple taste is always the best! read more

The Library was actually a great break away from the typical bar/restaurant scene. It's very intimate, close, and warming the moment you walk in and seeing all the amazing collection of books throughout the restaurant was something that sat very well in my soul. The collection of books was donated from a UC Berkeley professor after he passed and I must admit, a nice collection at that. There are seats, sofas, and tables scattered throughout the area and a nice sized piano in a corner. I was thrilled to see little knickknacks all throughout the bar location. I asked the bartender about some little toys that were hidden on top of some of the shelves and he said that when kids forget their toys, they hide them around the area. So if your kids end of missing your toy there, they'll be sure to have it somewhere. To the food. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and the wood oven mac and cheese. They tasted great and was delicious, there was no left overs! The mixed drinks tasted great and we enjoyed a few beers that was available on tap. Nice establishment! Definitely recommend! read more

Of course the first time I come here, old man Too Short was next door- needless to say it was chaotic. They have bar seating, but I am unsure if due to the concert they said you could not sit and order, you had to wait in the long line to order. Exactly why they don't get stars, the ones I did give are for the staff only. They were super friendly. I was not impressed at all by their menu, they have nothing that is unique to them other than a ton of basic and classic cocktails. They need a bar manager crafting and inventing some cocktails specific to "The Library". Due to the long line, they did allow me to order two drinks, and truthfully for the cost which trust me I am not complaining about, it's the glass it came in? It was giving dive bar and this is not a dive bar? I was confused? Overall this was no for me, not coming back. I think ppl from Vacaville might be into this if they don't know any better, but for someone who is huge on hand crafted cocktails yall need to step your game up! Sorryyyy read more

This place was awesome. The chapter house salad was excellent & very large. The margarita pizza was great! One of the best lemon drops I've had in a while. And the molten lava cake was the perfect ending. read more

Didn't get food today but eyeing those pizzas I'll definitely be back for them! This is such a cozy and vibe bar and restaurant. The interior is like a mansion library. It's classy and elegant. I got a grapefruit spritz and sat at the bar. The drink is so good! Service is also fast and friendly. The bartender saw me taking pictures and suggested different tricks I love that! The bar table is make of a book shelf. The books are perhaps not functional but it's just such a vibe! There's also a large outdoor area so when the weather gets warmer it would be great to enjoy some drinks and pizza outside! read more

I was in the area to watch a Muay Thai fight at the Journey Downtown Theater. We were hungry after the fights, so we decided to go here for dinner since it's right next door. The place looks like a small, old library turned into a restaurant. It's really cute. There was a live band playing in the corner too, which wasn't too loud. They had great sound balance, and they played really well too. It made the time there very pleasant. We were greeted by the staff behind the counter, and one of them gave us the low down. "Take a menu, have a seat, come back to the counter when you're ready to order. By the way, there's no shrimp tonight." Well good thing I didn't want shrimp. Haha. We decided on the Italian Heaven Pesto Pizza and a glass of their Conundrum red blend. They offered a taste since we couldn't decide which wine to get. It went very well with the pizza. The pizza was very rich in flavor and had a nice, crispy thin crust. So good! We saw a basket with Jenga pieces so we decided to play a game while waiting for our dinner. That was fun! Glad we decided to dine here before heading back home. read more

The Library - Beautiful place! I love all the furniture and the books! Thank you Morne for the amazing hospitality! - Bars Near Me - Vacaville, California

If you want an example of why Vacaville is spinning its wheels trying to develop a great downtown nightlife you can start here for example 1A: I quote Esquire's New Rules: "If you get even the slightest sense that the bartender feels he is doing you a favor by mixing you a drink, you are in the wrong bar." Using the above criteria, at the Library you are definitely at the wrong bar. Worst part is the bartender and staff. Literally seemed to care less about us as customers. From other reviews this seems to be a pattern. Aloof service, limited hours, drinks on the menu that are not available... We want to support a robust Vacaville downtown, but hard to do it here. Two stars because it's located in a cool old building. One star for service and experience. read more

Just stopped by for drinks. I love libraries and this old Carnegie still has good bones even though now a cocktail hangout. They were busy so took a bit to get my mixed cocktail after ordering. We sat down and were given a number to place on table for when drink order was delivered. Just needs a few cozy solo spaces and that would make it even more delightful. read more

Yes it's a former library, which really adds to the appeal. The building is very open and has a lower level where you can read books! The restaurant is just cool. From the seating to the bookshelves to the bar. It's welcoming and relaxing. The food was yummy! This was the first time I've had "hot honey" and adding it to a pepperoni pizza was delicious! The servers were friendly and very responsive. The next time you're in Vacaville, check out The Library! read more

Great place and drinks/pizza were good. Only downfall was it took a long time to order and get our drinks due to one bartender available

My friends and I really enjoy this place in the heart of Downtown Vacaville! It is right next to the historic Main St theater and it has a huge fireplace and tons of books and lots of seating. They have a bar and some good food to choose from. We got a margarita pizza and drinks and had a great visit. They have trivia nights sometimes, and during the holiday they dress it all up with a big Christmas tree and lots of other cozy holiday decorations. They are so community minded and it's such a warm, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

We used to come here often and pretty much stopped because the service was... s...l...o...w... Decided to give it another shot and was amazed by how quick the cocktails came out and how fast the food came out. Not only was the food great, but it was fast. Very happy with the food quality and the drink quality. Great job. read more

I had the cocktail flight recently, first time coming here. It wasn't super busy but took longer than expected to get our order in. For $30 got to sample four different cocktails and enjoy the patio. I can't recall the flight exactly, and it's seasonal. Two of the cocktails both had sage, which made them too similar in my opinion. I expected 4 cocktails that would be very different. I gave three stars because the hot toddy (?) with cream was just an odd choice to have on the menu in warm weather and was not enjoyable to sip. Felt that that should have been cycled out by this point of the year. Overall, I wish I had chosen one cocktail I knew I would really like, but the flight is decent value. Perhaps I will scrutinize the flight menu a bit more, though, before I would order it again. There's live music sometimes, so I'd like to plan to return when there's music! Overall a great addition to downtown VV and the "library" theme inside is VERY fun. read more

I really love the atmosphere of this place, the cocktails are amazing. My complaint is the service, you have to order from the register and they do not have a waitress on staff. I have been here when it's not busy and it's fine but we were there last night when it was busy after an event at Journeys next door. The staff was slammed and two bartenders were taking orders, making drinks, and delivering drinks. It's a lounge setting, not just a bar. They need to hire a waitress. read more

Great vibe- Live music- low lighting and cozy ambiance. Only recommendation is to up your beverage game please. Maybe a better whiskey selection and some different cocktail specials read more

The food is phenomenal. The menu had lots to choose from the atmosphere is cute and inviting. I would like to see the beers on tap had a menu. We are disappointed that the price bottle of wine that was suggested was not on the menu wasn't told to us when we ordered it and opened a tab. read more

The best place ever!! We frequent this site lace quite a lot. The atmosphere and ambiance is wonderful and very relaxing in any environment or time of the year.

I love The Library. Charmingly quaint ambience, elegant drinks, comfortable and conversational atmosphere. Great place to stop by for a live fire pizza or fresh salad and a cocktail on a weekend. Feels very cozy and the wood interior lined with bookshelves gives it a warm vibe. Friendly and attentive staff as well. Definitely worth checking out with some friends. read more

The Library on Main St is a Local gem! There is an indoor area with couches, comfy chairs, and table seating. There is a bar with plenty of drink options. There is also an ourdoor patio area. Atmosphere is great! Their restored library is so neat, like stepping back in time. Margarita pizza is tasty! read more

Ordered 2 spicy Bloody Marys & 2 tri tip salads. The drinks were not spicy and of average taste. We paid when we ordered. 1 salad was brought to us and about 20 minutes later I was asked how my food was even though I did not have food. My friend told me that the salad was not very good so i asked if I could just get a well done burger instead. Approximately 40 minutes later, I received a very rare burger with a "side salad" (no dressing- 3 croutons). I was very excited to try this place but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. As we were preparing to leave we were asked 2 different times if we were ready to pay even though we paid when we ordered. Lastly- the bartender/server was very kind but a group of his friends were there the whole time filming him sliding back and forth on the sliding ladder. Needless to say- we went to eat elsewhere right after we paid $75 to not eat at The Library. read more

The atmosphere is very nice as a lounge where you can get comfortable and have nice conversations. The menu is not big, and they ran out of some items. They are expecting to expand the kitchen. Staff was very friendly!! read more

Absolutely love this place. It was recommended to us by another small business nearby. The pizza was amazing. Drinks were great and I absolutely love their staff! The inside is so cute. The line/ordering system can get a lil funky but overall i think it's worth the wait. read more

We've been here three times. I think the first time was the best. The second and third time left us debating what was so good the first time. Will it be that good again? Are we willing to come back? I'll be generous and give them 3 stars. I will not be back, at least not for a while. Off the bat on our second and third visit. This is a bar. They happen to serve pizza. I despise ordering food when the person is clearly more interested in serving drinks. We ordered an Aperol spritz and two pizzas. I custom ordered my pizza because I don't want garlic, balsamic vinegar and oregano to ruin my Margerita pizza. The bartender taking our order was extremely distracted while taking our order. He was giving directions to another bartender on how to make a drink. He didn't pay attention to our order. I am not exaggerating that it took at least 45 minutes to get our two pizzas. They were served cold and mine had the balsamic I asked for it to not have. Ugh. I ate it. I was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer. I can say we were extremely disappointed. I would have given them 4 stars if the pizza had been as I ordered it, if it had been served hot and if I had felt like we were valued customers. Well, maybe next time. There is no good pizza in Vacaville. This place has so much potential. We love the vibe here and wish the service would be more consistent. read more
