Books & Bars "How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book." —Henry David Thoreau


Latest Topics

Welcome

Books & Bars is not your typical book club. We provide a unique atmosphere for a lively discussion of interesting authors, fun people, good food and drinks. You're welcome even if you haven't read the book.

"For those who take their books straight up - not off Oprah's list - Books & Bars is the cure. Bookended by social hours, it's a perfect opportunity to meet hip literary types - and the liquid courage doesn't hurt."

--MPLS. ST. PAUL magazine, July 2008
