Why locals recommend it
It’s close to the beach. Lots of good memories from this place: My wife and I went here on our second date, and we came back the night I proposed. But the reason we went here in the first place is they have a good selection of local beers and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great food as well. Their website has a “live beer cam” on the specials board, so you can check out what's currently on tap before you even go.

Tips from locals
It's right there in the name -- a great library of ales. This place makes great food to pair with their always changing beer list. Don't be fooled when you walk up, there's a great outdoor patio in the back.
This is a great place to start out the evening. Good food, good beer, and is located right in the middle of Main Street which is a perfect place to spend the evening.
