Your Neighborhood Bar & Bookstore

Step into our little world! A full bar & used bookstore with books and beverages to suit all tastes.

3210B Brainerd Rd

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Open Weds-Sun / 12pm-12am

Parking in the back!

We believe that bars and bookstores are places to relax and divert the mind from your everyday hullabaloo, and to that end we strive to be a community hub for creatives, free-thinkers, weirdos and regular nice people.

This is a place where you can just as easily be alone, with friends, colleagues, or a hot date. It's the living room you could never decorate on your own, here for your enjoyment in the lovely Brainerd area of Chattanooga
