Day trip with the family and enjoying the scenery. Pretty cool town a lot of variety of shops. My hubby sure had fun find cool used books as always. This place is pretty cool we passed it up when we arrived but noticed from the outside it don't look like a bookstore but when you walk in you see a bar and a stairway that takes you down to the bookstore. May I say pretty frikn cool and the history behind it is even cooler.

Amazing old-time store what has a mineshaft in the basement. Make sure you walk through the entire store because you just don't know what you may find. I found a vintage Swiss Horn German beer mug and a Readers Digest Short Story Collection from authors around the world. Most of the books are older, lightly used ones and therefore at half the price. We did not get any food, drinks or icecream because we walked in right after a big lunch so can't comment on the food. Don't miss or you might not find the "gold" treasure that this store is.

Very interesting and unique book/antique/ice cream/beer locations. A huge variety of materials and upstairs and a massive number of books down stairs. Cool mine themed areas in the lower part of the store show the history of the area and add to the cozy atmosphere. Top it off with some tasty ice cream and a beer is you like and it is definitely a place to visit while in Sonora. Parking can be a bit challenging but plenty of public spots off the main road and short walk to this spot. Very recommended if you are in the area.

Great atmosphere to enjoy a beer, read a book, get a story, and enjoy an ice cream!?

Was pretty excited to explore this place and realized it opened later at 11am so we planned accordingly. It was a hot Friday morning and not a lot open at 10:30 when we arrived downtown but we walked the street and explored a few antique stores that were open. We were here at 11:00 and peeked in the window. There was a lady inside behind the counter having a drink and not wanting to be rude waited a bit then tried to get her attention when it was 11:05 I went to another window and peeked in. It looked like she realized the time when she looked at her phone and came around the counter towards the door....Yay!! I backed away from window in anticipation of her coming to the door but when she never arrived I peeked back in the window (feeling like a peeper) and she was now moving some books on a shelf! A group of 4 girls showed up and were surprised doors weren't open and we talked a bit and decided to was just too hot to wait any longer our dog was panting and this place clearly wasn't interested in our business. We told the girls there was someone inside and knock and perhaps they'd have better luck getting someone's attention and we went on our way. Kinda disappointed in the whole downtown area but I was looking forward to this place. The one star is for the fact that I could see the bar through the window, which I originally thought was downstairs so I guess it wasn't a total waste.

I was visiting a family member and decided to stop by. This is on the heart of downtown so you can find street parking. I was confused of what kind of place this is but it's a little of everything. You walk in there's couches tables and a big bar. So they sell antiques here and books. They sell drinks at a big bar counter. The place is gorgeous it's old but very cute. The bar has a huge mirror and it's not just beer they sell they sell sodas,teas, water, and rootbeer. There's a basement area where there was books but I did not go. We ordered two root beers that were delicious. Highly recommend this is such a cute and unique place.

Amazing little spot! We loved the old time feel of the upstairs bar with old fashioned soda and collectibles. Once you walk downstairs there's tons of used books in the basement... it is super cool with a mysterious feel - something you'd see in a movie or tv show! You can tell the owner has worked very hard perfecting this store! Definitely should stop by if you haven't yet.

This place was very cool! I loved the basement boom section with the fountain, stone floors, and big selection of books. Incredibly good prices as well! And the bar was very cool looking.
