What to Expect at our Bookbar:
At our bookbar, we’ve created a cozy social environment for people who don’t enjoy the typical bar scene. We’re proud to be neurodiverse-friendly and have designed the space with comfort and accessibility in mind.
What does that mean?. . . .
You won’t find loud TVs with sports playing here (go down to the sports bar, bruh)—just comfortably spaced seating, low-volume music that allows for easy conversation, and single stall restrooms. Our walls are lined with bookshelves, adding a soothing visual backdrop that invites you to relax and feel at home.
We also provide chargers, fidgets, and games throughout the space for your convenience and enjoyment. Many of our staff are neurodiverse themselves, we value empathy, understanding, and responsible drinking in everything we do.
