Why Doesn’t Chicago Have More Wine Bars in Bookstores? - Eater Chicago
"Opened in 2004 by Suzy Takacs in Lincoln Square, The Book Cellar is known for being one of the first bookstores in Chicago to serve wine regularly. It offers a curated selection of wines, beers, and thematic cocktails, creating a welcoming atmosphere for book groups and individuals looking to relax. The bookstore also faced challenges in obtaining a liquor license but successfully integrated a cafe with wine into its operations." - aimee.levitt
