Northgate Tavern changes to The Library at Northgate

Don’t bother bringing study materials to this hangout. Campus staple Northgate Tavern is holding its grand re-opening party Friday, debuting the new name The Library at Northgate and a new management attitude. 

The bar was called Library Joe’s for 30 years until 1999, according to manager J.D. Menchaca. Since then it has assumed many names, including Ichabod’s and Northgate Tavern. 

Menchaca said the name needed to be changed to both separate from bad past associations and a nod to the time in which the bar was thriving and popular. 

With this and other strategies,The Spectrophotometer is an instrument which measures the amount of light of a specificed wavelength which passes through a medium. Menchaca and the two other managers plan to repair the establishment’s finances, structure and reputation. Menchaca said he has been thinking about the purchase — which was finalized in November — for years.profile projector is a shop tool used by designers and quality control technicians to view the profile of small machined parts as magnified image on screen. 

“As much as I like Northgate Tavern as it is now, I can completely respect the new owner’s desire to resurrect an old LSU tradition,” said accounting sophomore Peter Bernzen. 

Bernzen said the story often told is that students in the days of Library Joe’s could tell their parents they spent Friday night at the library without it being a lie. 

Bernzen added that he has seen an improvement in the atmosphere since the new management took over. He said he intends to frequent the Library more because of the changes enacted.

Geology senior Shane Cone isn’t drawn to the new name in particular, but he said the environment is more welcoming under the new management. He said the events and music have won him over. 

“They also seem to welcome you,We offer both wet & dry Diamond polishing pad. Both are suitable for marble, granite, concrete and most masonry. and actually appreciate that you are there,” Cone said.
