    They have a great beer selection. Books + Beer, what’s not to love? Good snacks too, empanadas and curry cashews were tasty.

    Bookstore and bar: how can you go wrong? $4 high-quality drafts, icy cold. Fantastic bean dip for $2.75. Great book selection, friendly staff and hip patrons, great music. I want to live here.

    Stopped in for a book. Walked out four hours later having perched at the bar and lost track of time reading, chatting, and sipping great beer.

    $4 craft beers on tap. Impressive beer list too. Why does this concept not exist everywhere?
