The Lit. Bar: Bookstore & Chill

The Lit. Bar opened its doors on April 27, 2019 (National Indie Bookstore Day) in the Boogie Down Bronx. Our venue encourages curious readers and welcomes literary and community gatherings—while our wine bar connects the great pastimes of social sipping and introverted reading. What better way to loosen our tongues and talk about the books we love? We offer a carefully curated selection of general interest books, gift items, and programming which emphasize local interest and diversity for all ages. 

 

Shop our curated lists below, search anything in the search bar, or browse the full warehouse above. 

 

Sincerely Yerrrs,

The BXsellers
