A Place With Two Faces

When walking into the Library Sports Pub and Grill it is easy to see why so many people love to eat there. Upon entering customers immediately get a feel for the atmosphere inside. Once past the front door the scent of the food tingles the nostrils to the point where you can taste it on the tip of your mouth. However it is the setup which makes this restaurant possible because it is what sets the atmosphere for each night of business.

Upon passing through the front door, a customer is immediately greeted by a beautiful hostess. “Welcome to the Library Sports Pub and Grill, smoking or non, how many do you have?” she’ll say. After, she will lead you to your table. Sitting in the dark brown chair or the green leather booth one can take a look around the busy, ornate, and sedulous establishment and see the men and women hard at work, cooking a juicy steak, cleaning off a table, and taking the order of the young woman sitting at the next table over. The televisions all around the restaurant show every sporting event on. Lined up all along the bar and in every corner of the non-smoking section, it is impossible to miss any of the action. Also, when Detroit teams are playing, projector screens are pulled down and the sound is turned up, setting the tone for the atmosphere. The Library Sports Pub and Grill is truly a sports bar. Team memorabilia is hanging up all around the restaurant. Jerseys are in frames on the walls, trophy’s are on the shelves, and inside the bar and booth tables, there are old Sports Illustrated’s, sports cards, and other team propaganda. Lastly, customers can see all the old and different books lined up on the shelves, which is why the name of the restaurant is the Library Sports Pub and Grill.When the waitress comes to take the customers order, it is extremely tough for many of them to decide on what it is they want to eat. Many customers, especially those sitting close to the kitchen, can smell the aroma coming from the grill. Once any type of food is finished being prepared and brought out onto the customers the smell of the food instantly tingles the nostrils, makes people crave the food they ordered, and the wait for it seems to be getting longer and longer by the minute.

After the wait is finally over, it’s time to chow down on the meal. A Burger, Burger topped with American cheese, lettuce, and ketchup cooked to medium rare is definitely the best item on the menu. This pink, juicy burger can come with a side of seasoned fries. Upon putting it into the mouth, the taste buds instantly cry out in joy because it tastes so good. Each item served has a distinct taste to it. Whether it’s the overwhelming taste of the mozzarella bread or the delicious Stadium Nachos, no customer leaves dissatisfied.The Library Sports Pub and Grill is truly a place of two faces. When no Detroit sports are playing on television the restaurant is calm and relaxing. During this time it is a family oriented place. Families come in, sit, and talk quietly among themselves. The loudest it ever gets is if a baby begins to cry. However, when a major sports game is on television it’s a different story. Workers of the restaurant dress up in jerseys and fans come to the bar to cheer the teams onto victory. During this time it is always rowdy in the restaurant. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are constantly being passed around and at every run, touchdown, and goal customers jump out of the seats in excitement. After nine o’clock p.m. people must be over 21 or with a parent to enter. Many think it would get quiet and calm down at this time, but it just gets louder. After a long day at work, many doctors and nurses love to come in and have a beer or two. Also, many sporting games out west are still on or just beginning at this time. The restaurant also becomes loud on special nights. Tuesday’s are trivia night, Wednesday’s are karaoke night, and Thursday’s are band night. The Library Sports Pub and Grill is like a bi-polar child. The atmosphere can be calm and quiet one minute but after the opening faceoff, kickoff, tipoff, and first pitch, it instantly changes to wild and loud. The Library Sports Pub and Grill is a Barnett family business owned by two of three brothers, Uncle Bob and Uncle Alan. They work diligently throughout the day in order to make the restaurant an effective place of service and entertainment. With two locations, Novi and West Bloomfield, each one behaves the same. It is a sports bar with cheerful customer waiting to smell and taste some good food. The Library Sports Pub and Grill is truly a place with two faces.
