What To Expect

We're a Bookstore. We're A Wine Lounge.

We're A Place to Relax, Unwind and Unplug.

That's why we are a laptop free zone. Seating is first come first-served. Reservations are not required. Book clubs and small groups hosting a special occasion may consider our Book Club Packages to reserve a seating area.

Please note that, unfortunately, our food and alcohol licenses do not permit minors (including infants) or non-service animals on premises.
