BookBar has been a trailblazer in the evolving world of independent bookselling since it opened on Denver's trendy Tennyson Street in 2013, proving that a bookstore with a full wine and beer bar is not a gimmick but a natural pairing of life's great pleasures. The store occupies a bright, stylish space on one of Denver's most vibrant arts corridors, with bookshelves lining the walls and a handsome bar running down the center, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts literary salon and neighborhood watering hole. The book selection is curated with real literary ambition, with the fiction section particularly strong and staff picks that consistently introduce customers to their next obsession. The wine list focuses on small producers and Colorado craft beverages, complementing the books with the same spirit of independent discovery. Denver's thriving local author community is championed with dedicated shelf space and regular reading events. The outdoor patio is a popular gathering spot during Denver's many sunny days, and the combination of books, drinks, and conversation creates the kind of community space that every neighborhood deserves.
