About this business

Most of the Molasses' collection is composed of used books and covers a myriad of topics with no specific focus. Visitors can grab a coffee or even beer and wine from the store's selection. There are regular literary events and meets as well. The idea of creating a casual place to rummage through books, rather than a serious book-only establishment has made it a popular choice for those in the area.

Trade your books and buy beers on tap. What else do you want? Seats for getting some work/reading done too.

A bookstore that has a bar or a bar that sells books? We're not sure but the ambiance is great, the owner is friendly and they usually have some good craft beer bottles available.

every bookstore should be like this. unpretentious and cozy, you can hunker down with a book and a coffee or beer while also enjoying good music.

Molasses Books is great! Good, large book selections. Comfortable w/ room and nice counter. Decent coffee- thank goodness =) And even alcohol if you're in the mood. Perfect for their event nights.

Quaint and quiet. They serve La Colombe and play great records. A good spot to read or do work

$5 Stiegl's!! Quite possibly the best used bookstore. Drinking and book shopping at the same time is hard to beat.
