Library Alehouse on Main Street has 29 draught taps focused predominantly on California craft breweries, with a rotating selection that emphasises the state's better producers. The format is a pub that takes beer seriously without the associated pretension — the staff know the product, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is neighbourhood rather than curated.
It sits in the Ocean Park section of Main Street, drawing a mix of locals and visitors who have made their way down from the pier. The food menu is solid pub fare. A good choice for an afternoon or evening drink without the tourist-strip atmosphere of the Promenade bars.
