Anarchy Library — Restaurant in Downey

Hello, This place is amazing it has a good environment and amazing people. Unfortunately, the staff is really unprofessional and unconsidered, not all the staff, only some. The reason is that their attitude and way to approach situations are really outrageous. They kick me out because I wrote this report and I was asking for their names. The security guys insulted me and were really rude as well as the manager on that shift. One of the security guards even threatening me. The manger which is a girl with tattoos didn't do anything at all and couldn't help me fix my situation like an adult. They all acted like children or parents, not like adults. I told her about the situation and she kick me out too. Everything happen when my friend wanted to get in because he got a stamp from the place and they still wanted to charge him to enter. Their management is unprofessional and they insult their customers, they dont treat people as customer. Once again the place, the vibe and the people are amazing, the problem is their customer service and unprofessional staff. I would like for the owner of this establishment to call me, please. I would like to explain my experience and how I felt. Thank you [update as of 2/6/20] the owner of the bar contacted me & listened to my feedback. I respected that very much. Also, helped by talking to the staff, that's a really good characteristic of a great entrepreneur that owns an amazing bar. The bar is amazing, not everything is perfect which is the management of the staff, but the owner is doing the best. If theres any problems you should contact the nice & amiable owner, I'm sure...

Let me put you on: if you’re not hitting up this Downey gem on the nights Celine is bartending, you’re seriously missing out.

Tucked away like a secret only locals should know about, this little hole-in-the-wall bar comes to life when Celine is behind the bar. The vibe? Magnetic. The drinks? Next level. And Celine? An absolute force of nature.

From the moment you step inside, she makes you feel like you belong there. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, she greets you like an old friend—with a killer smile and energy that sets the tone for the entire night. Her personality is effortlessly fun, witty, and warm—you can’t help but gravitate toward her.

Now let’s talk about her drink game. Celine doesn’t just pour drinks—she crafts them. Each one is a perfect balance of flavor, strength, and creativity. Tell her what you like (or just your mood), and she’ll whip up something that’ll blow your mind. She’s that bartender you brag to your friends about and try to get every bar to live up to after.

And the music? Flawless. Every track fits the moment—whether you're vibing with your crew, catching a buzz, or getting flirty by the jukebox. Celine’s shifts always have the best playlists, the best energy, and the best crowd. I only come here on the nights she works because that’s when the bar truly feels alive. She’s the kind of woman who makes everyone feel seen, heard, and hyped up all at once.

Downey’s lucky to have...

I came to anarchy libray for the first time tonight with my friend because she likes it here, when just a little bit past midnight there was a couple and a guy who was wasted, arguing. Security or someone who works there came to stop the arguing when out of no where all 3 guys (Security, drunk guy, and guy that came with his girlfriend) started all swinging at each other all over the dance floor. A lot of people where being pushed and tried to get away from the fight a lot of people got hurt. I got hurt and went to hide behind the bar with a bunch of girls that were there because they didn't want to get hurt. I've been to many bars but never experienced this. I don't recommend coming here! Worst...
