It’s always quite relaxing to find a cozy spot at home where you can curl up with a good book and read as you sip a glass of wine. But why stay at home when you can go out to a place like The Literary, where you can pluck a book from the shelves, order a glass of wine, and find a cozy spot to sit, drink, and read?

The Literary & Hopscotch first opened its doors in the fall of 2021 as a bookstore, bar, and cafe. With such a perfect combination, it’s an ideal place to spend an afternoon relaxing with your favorite book and a beverage.
