Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar - Austin, Texas

Great atmosphere. Drinks are on the pricier side but worth it if you ask me. Staff is super friendly. The house is beautiful and laid out very nicely. If you’re visiting Austin this is a great place to get a drink

The most cozy place to read a book, study, or drink some tea! They have a great selection of books, the furnishings create such a cozy atmosphere, the music is not loud at all so you can concentrate, and they have actual comfortable chairs! Their tea selection is great and they give you a little teapot! The lavender earl grey tea is to die for, I ordered it London fog style and the staff was so nice to offer steamed milk on the side so I could pour it myself while my tea steeped in the pot. I plan on coming back frequently!

Absolutely my favorite place we went to while in Austin! Quiet just like a library but also such an inviting place.

We had wine and walked around. Downstairs are mainly newer books while the upstairs holds the older ones. We purchased a few books and just spent an hour or so reading and drinking. Highly recommend coming here. It's also by Franklins BBQ which makes it even better!

Cute independent book store. Loved exploring all of the different rooms and that it was multilevel. Lots of places to sit. Had great wine and drink options as well.

What a cool vibe this bookstore and bar has.

It felt like I was in a different city. The store has such cozy vibes and gives exactly the feel you want for a place you can unwind in.

The drink I ordered was fantastic and so were those of my group. Large selection of book options and places to read and relax.

This bookstore has great vibes. It has room for improvement though. There is ample space to get creative for events and increased inventory of books. My favorite part of this place are the separate rooms to go read in or visit with a small group. No one will rush you. It was a nice peaceful day and I enjoyed my coffee while browsing the rare book collection upstairs. You can sit outside on weather favorable days, if you like. I did not try any of the food, so I can’t report on that, but I did order a coffee which came from a machine that makes coffee drinks…no barista experience needed to press a button. The person behind the bar completely forgot about my drink order. When I asked about it they quickly apologized, got my drink ready and then refunded me (not necessary, but I appreciated the kindness).

A hidden gem for book lovers and wine enthusiasts alike! This charming bookstore and wine house is whimsical, offering both new and used books in a cozy, yet open setting. Soft, thoughtful music hums from small speakers as fellow patrons—curiously and quietly—peruse the shelves. The wine selection is extensive, complemented by ciders, beers, coffee, and tea. The totally rad and welcoming staff are always happy to help with recommendations, making each visit feel like a personal adventure. Bring your chillest friends and your warmest vibes—this is the perfect place to discover your next favorite book or simply soak in the ambiance of antique-furnished rooms filled with literary treasures.

I absolutely adored this bookstore. They have a great selection, and the layout in a historic building adds to the charm and makes you feel like you’re at home. Plus, the folks working were unbelievably friendly and had great wine recommendations. I chatted with them for an hour or so at the bar and it was the highlight of an already great bookstore visit.
