The first thing that hits you at Bookstore Bar & Café is the bookshelf-lined wall, crammed with novels, comics, and quirky bric-a-brac. It’s a bit surreal, like stepping into a friend’s cluttered living room, with the smell of coffee mingling with something grilled. You don’t expect this kind of charm in a sports bar, but here we are. With a solid 4.2 out of 5 stars from 444 reviews, this place has a loyal following.
Food & Drinks
The menu straddles the line between bar bites and something a little more elevated. Nachos come piled high with toppings, almost too many to handle without a fork. They’ve got a killer selection of local beers on tap, and their crafted cocktails aren’t just an afterthought — try the “Moscow Mule” with a twist of fresh ginger and seriously good ginger beer. Prices are in the $20–30 range, so no one’s breaking the bank while enjoying a Sunday NFL game.
