About this business
The Bookstore Speakeasy is your portal to the 1920s. Behind a nondescript black door bearing only the words "The Bookstore," is a lively bar that hosts a jazz band several nights a week. The decor is in keeping with the theme, featuring vintage accents. Creatively mixed drinks are named with just as much imagination (try the Shirley Temple of Doom).

Father booked a reservation 4 days before my birthday to take me out. I said this place was a good option because I thought my mother would enjoy the atmosphere. Called 1 hour before our reservation (which was confirmed to see if we could get in early). They had no record of our reservation even though we had all the info and it was done on the website. We had to scramble on a Friday night to go somewhere else. Good thing we called early. Not only that the management refuses on call my father back. Some of the worst customer... read more

I can’t say enough positive things about the Bookstore Speakeasy. The food was AMAZING and the service was great. We started with a plate of meats and cheeses. It came with grainy mustard, nuts and a blueberry/balsamic concoction that was Devine. I had the short ribs. The portion was generous and it was so tender and delicious. Cocktails were lovely and dessert was outrageous. We weren’t rushed at all. If you are in the area make a reservation and check this place out.
We were a group of 6, in our thirties and forties who came for some after dinner drinks. Our server, Emily, was AMAZING ����! Friendly, entertaining, happy, fast, everything you hope for! The drink list is extensive and a tad overwhelming, but all we had to do was tell Emily the type of liquor/drinks we like and she would consistently surprise us with some awesome concoctions. She even had the bartender make us some off menu drinks based on our preferences. There was live jazz which was great, and yes, it was dark and loud, ... read more
We showed up for an 8:00 reservation only to be told we wouldn’t be seated until 11:15 because we booked our reservation online and we didn’t call ahead to confirm. They have “glitches” apparently. Excuse me. If you have known glitches, it’s your responsibility to call your customers. Horrible customer service. Plenty of other GREAT places in town that appreciate their customers and know how to take care of them. Just awful.
