A REFUGE FOR THE THIRSTY AND INQUISITIVE OF KANSAS CITY. 

 

We are located in Kansas City's Crossroads neighborhood, and we believe that a good book has the remarkable ability to connect friends over midnight discussions, or to a garrulous passenger on the streetcar who loves the same writer.  We believe books can spark an idea or incite an argument and provide a tranquil escape from the chaotic. 

 

Beer, wine and spirits share this quality. Rather than leave one of 'em out we decided to combine their collective powers under a single roof. 

 

We're a bookshop that sells booze. And, a bar that sells books. We love discovery, good conversation and Kansas City. Welcome!
