"Main Street in Santa Monica isn’t typically where you go for a quiet bar night, but Library Ale House is an outlier where you can drink craft beer with a low-key crowd that will let you sip your sour beer in peace. There’s a quiet patio in the back if you’re with a few people looking to eat a burger or fish and chips, but if you’re just in the market for some beer and low-decibel surroundings, hang in the front bar." - brant cox
