The Library is the new name for the Brickworks. No longer just a cellar (Rats Wine Bar) now has two rooms with music events downstairs, but most impressively has introduced a real ale which varies. The pub is arranged over two levels, and has a nice garden to the rear. Offers 'street food' which can vary, and some interesting beers in bottles and cans.
