Inland Empire neighborhood room with decent drink value and friendly vibe; light crowds and inconsistent dancer turnout keep it casual.

The Library lands as a solid neighborhood bar-club hybrid, anchored by affordable drinks and a bright, welcoming room. Reviewers praise the lack of hustle and the occasional strong dancer, but the real story is the Inland Empire's shrinking scene: this was once a packed Hustler Club/Déjà Vu, and turnout has thinned noticeably. Light weekday crowds and variable dancer availability mean timing matters. Best bet: Saturday night or a Tuesday when regulars show up.

How this is scored
63/100

Bright, well-lit interior with good sightlines and ample free parking near the 10 freeway; open layout lacks privacy.

The 2008–2025 rebranding and recent interior refresh (updated lighting, carpeting, illuminated pillars) have made this a brighter-than-average room with good stage sightlines and large seating. Free parking and proximity to the 10 freeway are genuine pluses for Inland Empire access. The trade-off: open bench-style lap areas replaced individual booths, cutting privacy; the mirrored stage lighting can be harsh. Capacity and layout work well for groups.

59/100

Attentive bar staff and no-pressure atmosphere; bouncer-enforced one-foot rule and sparse seating during peak hours.

Bar staff are responsive and drinks come fast; no pressure to buy dances or dancer drinks, which reviewers appreciate. The enforced one-foot rule is strict and consistently applied. Door service is professional. The friction point: staff have been known to ask patrons to order or leave if they're just sitting, and during busy nights, seating is tight enough that you may not find a spot.

Cheap beer specials and well-stocked bar; food menu exists but rarely staffed, and bottle pricing skews upscale.

Cheap beer specials (well drinks and domestic at $2–$7 as of 2011–2025 reviews) and a full bar are the draw. Food exists on paper but has been unavailable or unstaffed during visits, and bottle pricing (~$40+ range) is steep relative to the overall vibe. Don't come for the kitchen; come for the drink value.

Young, varied roster with occasional standouts (Jade, Natalie); inconsistent stage presence and light dancer engagement off-peak.

The roster skews young and varied in body type, with occasional standouts (Jade, a pole dancer; Natalie, noted as classy; a Dominican dancer and a friendly Black dancer mentioned for good vibes). The real issue: inconsistent stage presence, especially off-peak. Reviewers report dancers hanging at the bar rather than performing when called, and light dancer-to-customer engagement unless you're a regular. Lap dances run ~$20 as of 2011–2025 reviews, with VIP booths around $100 for multiple songs. Expect a lighter, more casual experience than a packed Saturday at a busier room.

80/100 SW score
Great Tuesday spot Hit this place on a Tuesday night for the $2 drinks and wasn't disappointed. The sports setup is legit with TVs everywhere, and parking was a breeze. More of a bar vibe than what I expected, which worked for our group.
60/100 SW score
Decent but inconsistent Stopped by twice during my stays in Redlands and got completely different experiences each time. Bar service was solid both visits and the hookah thing is interesting. Just depends on your luck with who's working that night I guess.
50/100 SW score
Overpriced for what you get The bottle service seemed like a ripoff and the whole nightclub setup felt weird for this type of place. Good parking and the bartender was cool, but expected more for the money.
