The Lit. Bar, Mott Haven: A Bookstore With a Wine Bar

The Lit. Bar doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s an independent bookstore with a wine bar inside, at 131 Alexander Ave by Bruckner Boulevard, and it’s the one place on this strip where the drink comes second.

The verdict: go for the shelves and a glass, not a deal. It’s a calmer start or finish to a night on Bruckner Boulevard than anything else on the block.

What to Expect

  • Books: a general independent bookstore that puts diverse voices up front.
  • The bar: wine by the glass, to drink while you browse.
  • Events: author talks, book clubs, children’s story time and community nights; the store also hosts small weddings.

The nearest train is 3 Av–138 St (6).
