- Sandra SudziarskiMay 19, 2013This place was amazing, such a lovely & quaint little atmosphere.The ambiance, the attention to small details, perfect place to take a date. The atmosphere almost made me put my arm around my friend.
- Annie EllertsenApril 18, 2014LOVE IT! If you don't look carefully, you'll miss it in a second. Lovely atmosphere, friendly bartenders, delish cocktails! Get the Shirley Temple of Doom! And the Bat-Manhattan, you'll thank me!
- C StrawbridgeMay 24, 2013Like stepping back in time! Had a delicious meal (chick pea popcorn is awesome; get the duck confit flatbread, too) & cool cocktails. Truly a unique & fun experience - looking forward to coming back!
- Murad QuandourAugust 18, 20183$cover on live bands order a bookstore billionaire with the cream brule for a tasty fun treat
- Derek GarciaOctober 4, 2015Been here once. Very good cocktails, great atmosphere and music, server I had was alright, never had food but only hear good things. A little pricey but you do get what you pay for. Deff willbe back.
- Sam PJanuary 23, 2012Be aware that the cocktails are really expensive ($12-14?). Still highly recommended though. You pay for the atmosphere. If you come on a Friday or Saturday night, make a reservation.
- Nathan KingJuly 3, 2010They did a wonderful job creating a unique atmosphere through all the details. They offer a lot of drinks you don't see on menus anymore. I'd take my grandfather here if he was still alive.
- Marc SingerOctober 17, 2023The drinks are good, but a bit overpriced, especially with the mandatory 25% svce charge. The website promised daily specials to enhance a limited (but good) menu, but there were no menu additions.
- Brett HensleyDecember 31, 2010This is the greatest bar on the planet. Be here when Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society play hot jazz all night. Beer list is the most exclusive I have ever seen.
- Donnamarie MazzolaAugust 4, 2013Yes, great concept & atmosphere. But, food was terrible. Crab cakes were bread patties flavored with a touch of crab. Blackened Chicken was rubbery and hot, but lacked flavor. Stick with appetizers.
- George RichieMay 22, 2012Enjoy one of The Bookstore's delightful libations on the new Spring/Summer cocktail menu!
- Live Jazz from 9pm-1am, $2.00 cover per person for the band.
- what the hell happened there used to be a reason to the high prices now the prices are the same but they use well everything
- Haters be hating in this tip section. Best place ever. Nurse your drink, enjoy the jazz, don't be a jerk.
- LafawnduhMay 24, 2014Bruschetta~ bad store bought crumbled goat cheese. Fig toasts- huge chunks of fig overpowering. Cool atmosphere but loud and horrible food. The Martinez cocktail was meh.
- Freyja BalmerMay 12, 2017Super cute fun spot with a great cocktail list. Food is ok but not mindblowing. The bartenders could dial it down on the personality/dog and pony show a bit though.
- José LlinásFebruary 22, 2012Unfortunately this place seems to have changed owners and staff. The food is no longer good and the drinks went from awesome to bland. The only thing they have going for them is the ambiance.
- Kat JonesFebruary 1, 2015Very expensive for the portions. I prefer to go when there is no band and it is nice and quiet.
- If you like bioshock, you'll wanna blow everyone in this place away. Then drink a delicious beer!
- Marc BollingerDecember 30, 2009Order the two most expensive beers on the menu, because you are a fancy-ass.
- Michele RyderNovember 18, 2009don't order a beer because the word "voodoo" is in the name. clearly described as "passion fruit" & ordered it anyway, blech.
