The Lit. Bar

Really fantastic black-owned bookstore with many books written by black authors and coloured authors. I went there because of the good reviews and it was worth the visit. Really nice owners, they were very friendly and helpful to me and my husband. Really good variety of books that are often not available at other bookstores. Will definitely return again! Highly recommend!

Absolutely adore this bookstore. This was my first visit and certainly not my last. I really loved the layout and overall store design. They really made this place inviting and gave me a whole new appreciation for books and the nostalgia you feel when you see a great cover. I was like a kid in a literary candy store. Oh and there is a bar in the back... love it.

The decor, the wall art and the set up of the store is really nice. The customer service well not so much. Unfortunately, coming in we weren’t even greeted nor assisted. I asked a few questions which were answered the girl behind the counter was nice. But the dismissive attitude of the other employee waking around on her phone was so uncomfortable and spending over $100 in the store you would expect a “thank you and have a good day” but not even. Nice and cute but wouldn’t go back.

Amazing space and love the concept. Wish they had a strong coffee menu though - it is a book store. Maybe have some jazz on

A throwback and loving nod to the Hue Man Bookstore back in Harlem. A bookstore with conscious. A spot to congregate, educate and motivate free thought through literature
