About this business

Portsmouth Book & Bar is a unique concept that caters to food-loving bibliophiles. Occupying the historic Custom House in downtown, this old-worldly charming place is part cafe and part book store. It curates a collection of used books that represent myriad genres like academics, arts and social sciences. The adjoining dining room is meticulously hand-furnished and serves coffee, beer as well as tapas and baked goods. This venue occasionally plays host to live music, readings, cultural and community events.

Book and Bar is closing for good tomorrow. I wish I had gotten to spend more time there however I'm grateful for its existence and for being a place where I went on one of my very first dates with my now long term partner. It was a special and welcoming environment that will be sorely missed in Portsmouth. As times change and businesses come and go, let's be kinder to those people working behind the scenes. The ones selling us coffee, stocking the shelves, offering us a space out of the hustle and bustle of our daily grind.
