If entering a bookstore gives you that giddy feeling like being a kid in a candy store, you’re going to love Connecticut’s new addition to the literary scene. Stroll through the doors of That Book Store and you’ll be itching to begin browsing the shelves. But better than any regular bookstore, here you can read, relax, and sip. We’re not talking about coffee and tea, this little bookstore bar serves up wine and beer with their titles.

Please note, The Book Store has permanently closed.

That Book Store opened in the summer of 2018 in Wethersfield. The independent bookshop is a welcome haven for literature lovers, and with the addition of beer and wine offerings, customers couldn't be happier.
