Name of Bar, Cheap Beer Spark Brookland Battle

Brookland
RESIDENTS IN BROOKLAND often bemoan the lack of restaurants, bars and other retail amenities in their Northeast neighborhood. But a new bar on the 12th Street NE strip, The Library, is causing a stir. From one posting on the neighborhood's message board:
I don't expect many people to agree with me, but I feel I have to say this: I don't think naming the new bar on 12th Street 'The Library' is cute or clever. I'm a librarian, and it's offensive to me. Is this a quiet place to read and study? No, it's another bar for students who want to drink a lot of cheap beer, get disgustingly drunk, and then annoy the neighbors with their noise and trash. It's a sports bar, with multiple TV screens.Worst of all, some other neighbors complain, is the "lack of decent beer." And the brew that is available? It's served in lowbrow plastic cups. On Tap recently noted last month that "The Library serves $5 Busch Light pitchers and $4 Captain Morgan pints all the time and each day they have an additional special." Busch Light. Classy.
More fuming from the message board: "What a shame that the new bar is not only catering solely to college kids but also helping to stock the landfills with plastic." Neighbors have reported an increase in plastic cup refuse on streets linking 12th Street NE and Catholic University.
In September, members of D.C.'s Alcohol Beverage Control Board arrested a number of Catholic University students at The Library after the underage patrons provided false identification at the door.
