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.

Books & beer = good times. Place gets a little busy during the afternoon so start your day off right by coming in the morning!

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?

Art supplies shop in the back. Also a restroom to use if you ever need one while browsing Warren St.

Books and beer. 5 buck pints, music that reminds me of college, chillax central.

Many have tried, few have succeeded. A bar in a bookstore.
