Cannot speak highly enough of this place! We held a book reading here and, not only is it the most beautiful space, they were also so patient and allowed us to stay past the allotted time because we’d hit some traffic arriving. The drinks were delicious, the staff were beyond kind and so attentive. I wish I could do every event here! Thank you Annie + team

Sat at this place to eat my deep dish pizza from across the street as they had no space to dine in, had a great beer in a very nice bookstore setting with amazing service!

I heard about this place from a coworker, so I went there from St. Louis to check it out.
The inside is huge, three rooms with bookshelves in each of them. I saw people reserved tables to hangout with friends, and people there alone to read and study. I was too full to eat anything but next time I’ll get the root beer float. I bought a book, and chatted with one of the bartenders. she was very friendly and attentive, unfortunately I forgot her name.
I’ll definitely go back the next time I’m in town and check out their events!

Do yourself a favor and GO HERE!! Staff is fantastic, great mule beverages, and a great space. Staff allowed my group to relax and enjoy pizza from across the street! Very accommodating and an excellent wheelchair accessible spot!!

Does anyone actually read here? I walked in to the Black Eyed Peas blasting and everyone drinking cocktails. It was too loud to read, and I was the only one with a book in hand. Maybe I came at the wrong time, but if the first and foremost thing you advertise about your business is that it’s for books, then there should be at least one dedicated space for that. Tired of places acting as if the books on the walls are there for anything but decoration.
Thought I found a really cool spot until some old grumpy grandma with the most aggressive tone yelled “you definitely need to buy something, this isn’t a library”. Grandma needs to check her attitude before talking to ppl like that. Stepped in for the rain and was going to come back in the future but nvm
Tasty snacks and good beer selection at a fun place to meet with friends
A great place to grab a beverage (alcoholic or non) and relax with a book or catch up with a friend. They have a huge hidden space in the back too with a foosball table.
Small cars can fit in their adjacent lot, otherwise you'll find parking on the street.
They have books available to purchase too and board games to borrow while you hang out.

Cute cafe, bookstore, and bar. Wide variety of drinks and food options. Can also bring food in. They have a small selection of board and card games as well. Cute place to come and is one of the few non-bar places to hang late.
OMG!!! This place is so chill and the books are inexpensive. I'm definitely coming back.
Great place for a date or birthday party!
I did not like this place, they were kind of rude to my friends and me. I wish we had a better experience.
A beautiful spot to recuperate
