Liz's Book Bar

Best mint ice tea in town! Literally made the heat wave more tolerable. Kept finding myself returning to this lovely coffee shop/book bar. People were really nice, welcoming and always smiling. Great for sipping your coffee quietly watching people pass by the street or reading. The book selection, while not the biggest, is well curated. Loved everything about this place!

what an amazing lil gem! i loved sitting and reading here! the seasonal lemonade was amazing and the vibes were amazing for getting work done or catching up on reading! the staff was so unbelievably sweet and the book event i attended felt so homey and comforting. highly recommend you come here! amazing book selections as well 💜✨🪻

I love this book store!! I found a unique collection of short stories from African writers.The wine selection is great too, I loved the Cabernet Franc. The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is great. If I lived closer, I would be here all the time. I can't wait to visit again!

My favorite — not every bookshop has comfortable places for you to sit, read and hang out. There are many book shops in Brooklyn, but this is where I feel the most welcomed. The art book selection is also impeccable. Highly recommend!

Such a cute little spot in the Brooklyn area! It’s got a solid fiction selection and lots of fun drinks to enjoy in a great atmosphere! We stopped in to read for a bit with a cup of coffee and we did not regret it! Definitely drop by if you’re in the area!

It was a great place for us to have a small (6 people) book club meeting, if you get there early. It gets packed really fast. Nice bar with coffee, wine, non alcoholic drinks and hot chocolate. The baked goods were good.

Why are there not more places like Liz’s?! Wonderful bookshop with decent selection. Then the bar/cafe where you can pick a drink to have along with your new read! There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Also, staff is always smiling and friendly!

Super cozy vibe, friendly staff and great selection of books! Always love seeing places like this for enjoying books and people together. Can’t wait to come back.

Visiting my friend in Brooklyn and she mentioned she walked by this cute book bar and we had to try it. Relaxing music and vibe, areas to sit and read. Either bringing your own book or one on the wall, this place had it all. I got the wine flight to try and just overall had a wonderful time! (They have small bites to eat cheese board, olives, etc.) I know my friend will be a regular here.

I love this new trend of bookstore bars and this spot will now be added to my list of favorite ones. There is ample seating, good wine, and a great book selection. What more could a book lover ask for? I didn't get a chance to try any food because they were out of most things on the menu but I look forward to visiting again and grabbing a snack. Next time I'll be sure to be there early.

I've stopped in here twice so far: once just to check it out/do some book browsing, and then a second time to have something to drink at the bar, and also do some book browsing/found something to buy. I will definitely update later on when I've tried more drinks, etc., but my initial impression is: I love this place!!!! The staff that I've met here (two different people so far) seem really nice, cool, and friendly. I had a really good matcha lemonade and enjoyed sitting at the bar. The book selection is really good. This is not a huge storefront (but it's big enough, and they have a good amount of seating) but considering that I think they have an impressive selection. I saw that they have a selection of classics as well as a lot of contemporary fiction. I also saw some interesting-looking memoirs. They have plenty of other books too--cooking, history, humor, body-mind-spirit, etc.--and I see from their website that you can search for books and order through the site too. I look forward to coming back in more often and I'd also like to explore their in-store events, book club, etc., when I get the opportunity to do so. I hope this business will do great!!!! There aren't a lot of combined bookstore/cafe/bar spaces in this part of Brooklyn and it's definitely something I've been wanting to see.

I don't remember how I learned about this book bar but I faintly remember the owner getting interviewed or mentioned on Instagram and I decided to visit in the future. After a busy day, I was finally able to go. On first inspection, I can see the place is well loved by locals and new people alike because while it wasn't packed it was lively on a Thursday evening. There is different types of seating including along the bar, near the front window, a nook with cushion and a few in the back. I did bar side and it has hooks underneath to hang bags. It serves as a cafe mostly so there is a limited food menu with a more extensive drink list for the morning, noon, and night. The menu is on the wall but they also have paper copies. I had a non alcoholic spritz which was decent. They do have wifi available so you can theoretically work there however, from my perusal they have limited outlets and they have a rule about no laptops after 6 pm (they have a sign near the register but you could miss it) I do believe the service is sweet and very accommodating. They checked to see if I was alright which I appreciated. The book variety is typical of many of the small independent bookstores I see in town. They do have events which I signed up for. Overall I think it is a great place to have in the neighborhood and I got much use out of it and I will be back

Recently came here for coffee with a friend and loved the vibe! It's a coffee shop by day, wine bar by night, and bookstore all day! The staff were so lovely and plenty of people there were shopping, working, or hanging out with friends. It's so cozy and I will definitely be going back during the winter when I work from home or for coffee dates. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!

What a cute neighborhood gem. It offers a space to read relax hang out with friends have a drink (coffee or hey try a glass of wine). Come with friends, come alone or with your dog and spend some time in this friendly inviting book bar. With good options of books. It gets pretty crowded at times. There should be more like these definitely recommend!

Good coffee and pastries, with friendly service. I love browsing the books while waiting for my coffee. If you end up staying long enough (which it lends itself to), you might want a glass of wine from a pretty great selection.

Pretty nice place to grab a coffee or drink and chill. Theres some books to peruse and some seating here and there for a smaller group or for yourself.

A brilliant concept that combines an independent bookstore, cafe, and workspace. This is by far my favorite bookbar in Brooklyn! The interior is beautiful with cozy reading nooks at every corner and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a great spot for both solo work sessions and casual hangouts with friends. The staff is super friendly and the versatile space caters to book lovers, remote workers, and social butterflies. Their wine and coffee menu is similar to one of a wine bar and coffee shop, with extensive options for each. You can grab a window seat with your glass of red and your favorite novel, or sit at the bar with your laptop and an espresso. This spot is understandably quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite.

I'm sitting in the book bar as I type this and I had to leave a review. The vibe in this little spot is so fun! Nice menu, great music, and many books to choose from. Pay it a visit!

So happy about this addition to the neighborhood! Coffee, wine, books, friendly staff, cozy & relaxing atmosphere...what more could I want? Love coming in here for quiet work time during the day, or for a pre-dinner glass of wine in the evening. Loved recently seeing a number of solo patrons enjoying a drink and a book on their own...rare to find a place where it's comfortable to do so. There's even a cute little nook with a beanbag, if you stop in with your little ones. Highly recommend!

Great addition to the neighborhood! A good selection of books and ample space to hang out for a bit with a coffee or cocktail.
