It was a last minute thing where I thought it would be packed with people like it used to be. Perhaps it was a Sunday and everyone gets ready to start their week : their sound needs to be checked music is way to loud that you can’t have a conversation. Bass is way too loudParking: Found parking right away!

The Anarchy Library has been on my list for a long time. It's one of those places that everyone says you should check out. I finally had a chance to go this past Friday. It was so much fun! The DJ played '80s, darkwave, new wave, rock en Español, and 2000s indie hits like "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre and "12:51" by The Strokes. Solid playlist. There is a $5 cash cover on Fridays and Saturdays. Bring cash! Import beers like Stella and Modelo are $6. Anarchy Library has a dive bar feel which I loved. I didn't think it was "dirty," I thought it was unique. It reminds me of the rocker divey bars in Austin, TX. Lots of rock and punk posters on the walls. The dancefloor is small, but it worked. The crowd was really vibing with each other. I would say the age range was about 21-45 or so. You won't feel too old or too young coming here which is amazing. That is a big reason for the 5 stars. This is one of the best crowds I've danced with in a long time. Even though we were strangers, we felt a connection with each other. That's good stuff. Dancing in the post "me too" movement hits different. None of the guys were aggressive or trying to hit on us. I felt they read the room and didn't try to talk to us unless we talked to them first. I could just enjoy catching up with my girlfriends without being bothered. I will be coming back often. I had a great time here!

I came here a while ago and just wanted to say that I'm happy to find a place that fit in. Really enjoyed the music , and although small it was a very comfortable place to come and chill on not busy days.

Just recently started coming back here. So many memories! Can't go wrong coming here for a dive spot. Especially for Tuesdays! I always enjoy the music they play every time I go.

Fun little spot. They have to fix and update the bathrooms, though. Very very bad, especially the men's as usual.Parking: Tons of people and literally about 20 parking spots

I came to anarchy libray for the first time tonight with my friend because she likes it here, when just a little bit past midnight there was a couple and a guy who was wasted, arguing. Security or someone who works there came to stop the arguing when out of no where all 3 guys (Security, drunk guy, and guy that came with his girlfriend) started all swinging at each other all over the dance floor. A lot of people where being pushed and tried to get away from the fight a lot of people got hurt. I got hurt and went to hide behind the bar with a bunch of girls that were there because they didn't want to get hurt. I've been to many bars but never experienced this. I don't recommend coming here! Worst experienced ever.

If you LOVE rock, especially Spanish rock and you better roll up to this place. Cover charge is $5 on Saturdays. The only downside of this place is that it's small so it can get kinda packed at times. I would still recommend you try it out at least once.

Been coming here for at least a year because of the regulars that come here; its the only reason I come. Had a bad break up 2 years ago so I find my self coming back. I will not find the love of my life here but the people I do meet give me hope. The bartender v wants a tip so leave one or she will get mad at you...I just found out last week I had no idea I fell bad. The people here are fast sexualy so be careful lots of married ladies taking off their rings here so be careful?. I can't drink anymore because of a medical condition so I tend to come sober but the music is ? although the DJ will not take music requests even if he shakes his head in acknowledgment. Its hot so I tend to stay outside talking to the smokers and regulars that say hi to me. I seen people get knocked out and others drunk to the point of throwing up. Just be careful if you meet someone new don't go home with them just get to know them first. Be safe- Mark❤

If you're looking for some perreo Bad Bunny type of stuff, look elsewhere this is not the place. I can honestly say that this cramped, dingy, grimey spot is my favorite place to be on a Friday/Saturday night. I never felt uncomfortable here which is ironic because it's such a small space you'll bump into elbows, shoulders, and nalgas accidentally. I am not a club person but the music they play here especially their rock selection is the main reason I come here and people are very chill.

Zee, Bam and Celine are amazing bartenders. They made sure that we were taken care of. My best man had the best bachelorette party... Thanks to the "Anarchy".Bam, was so personable and made sure all of our needs were met.
