Adelaide, SA, 5000
Well, it certainly looks like Adelaide is getting its fare share of hole in the wall bars with their unique characteristics, and this place is definitely one of them. They tend to be closed on Mondays (which was a little disappointing since if a bar holds the name Bibliotheca then I am really going to want to check it out) however fortunately for me and my friend it was open on Tuesday. Basically it is a bar that has a small library in it, though small is an optimal word because there are quite a few shelves full on a huge assortment of books. I'm not sure if the books are for sale (we looked in the covers and couldn't find any prices, which is generally where prices in a second-hand bookshop are found) but they certainly give this bar a really nice atmosphere. Mind you, it isn't cheap, and when I was here they didn't have any beer on tap.
