Super pleasant space with books and alcoves and group seating and nooks and a large patio out back. Decent taplist. I had the turkey melt sandwich with a salad. Nothing special but certainly satisfying. Decent Wi-Fi. Very relaxing ambiance. Bring a book, grab a drink and settle down for a relaxing read. It seems like there are regularly gatherings of different types in the evening. Kid friendly!

I really like this spot, super cute and cosy, great food and nice people. It can get really buymsy and loud on event nights, sonic you're noise or crowd averse, definitely check the event calendar. I really love this spot though, it's a perfect place for a grilled cheese and soup on a rainy Saturday ♡

Cool bookstore pub on Fremont. A lot of other spots on the same street but this is pretty unique. Great selection of beers as well as hot teas. The staffvis very helpful and knowledgeable about them. Food selections too but I didn't try any. Lots of cool seating areas and you can browse and buy any of the books here. Very nice spot for visiting with friends or just chilling out. Definitely a spot to visit again.

I like their fries - one of the best in town. Not much else on the menu for me. Great idea to have a book pub and as a writer and book lover I appreciate this. Seats aren't comfortable though. Sometimes there's music. We've attended theme nights here. It's a popular place and I know many people who like to hang out there.

One of the coolest little pubs I've been to on my travels. This place was cozy, welcoming, has a reasonable drink and food menu. I still think about their darn grilled cheese and soup combo. Lovely concept and will most definitely be back!
