We came to this area from 3 hours away specifically because our good friends bought us a gift certificate to this restaurant. So after driving 40 minutes from our hotel and paying for 2 hours of parking, this is the sign that greets us on the door. Mind you, nothing is published to Google so Google says it is open right now. And despite the claims of the sign to "visit our website for more information and about when we will reopen," the website says nothing about it being closed and also says that it is open right now. The only way to verify is when you try to call, the phone number doesn't work. Perhaps the person who made and laminated this nice sign on the door should have spent 2 minutes longer to follow up and make sure there was another way to know about the closure besides walking up to the door. Irresponsible much.

Great music. Excellent drinks. Feels like you have been transported back in time.

I love the cocktails, food, and atmosphere. The issue is that it's impossible to communicate with them about their hours and reservations. I'd managed to drop in and sit at the bar a few times. Since then, I have twice tried to get a reservation. The first time I called, emailed, and messaged on Facebook without any response. The second time I booked a reservation 3+ weeks in advance only for it to be rejected the day before the reservation a week after my email inquiring about the status was ignored. I really don't know how people manage to get a reservation here. It's great if you can get it but I'm truly confused about how people do so.

Closed for repairs or a massive extermination of roaches? Probably the roaches. I lived in that building and the roach infestation was too much. All the roaches crawled up from the lower level.
Or maybe it was the late night after closing drug and alcohol parties the employees & owner used to have.
Or maybe they didn't pay their rent again.

Unfortunately not surprised to see this place closing its shutters abruptly and not honoring people's reservation deposits after operating without a liquor license for the past six months.
My husband and I made a dinner reservation here some months back - we were sat at our table and waited for our server to come by. We waited for over an hour. No one came by to speak to us once. The place was not overcrowded. After an hour we left and walked down the street to The Social Still where we received great service. It's a shame because the place has a cozy speakeasy vibe, but the service has become slipshod, the food inconsistent, and the cocktails unremarkable. Maybe someday it could be a good establishment again under more scrupulous management.

I was super excited to visit the Bookstore- I had planned a girls night in town and I had friends drive from all over the state to meet here. We made a reversion far in advance, got dressed up and ubered to the location. Upon arrival we were greeted with a handwritten note on the door saying that are closed temporarily. If we had known this ahead of time, we would’ve been able to change our plans. I was not notified once about the closure- and I understand that things happen but I feel since I paid a heafty deposit that I should’ve been contacted or at least gotten an automated response that my reservation was cancelled. I emailed the business about getting my $60 deposit back and have not heard back.
We planned our whole evening around these reservations, and the night could’ve been salvaged if we knew ahead of time that we had to change our plans. It was very frustrating to arrive at the time of our reservation after getting all dressed up and taking an Uber, just to find out that we had no where to go.
Luckily, there’s a dive bar down the street (mollys) that we got some drinks at instead. Otherwise there’s not much around the location- make sure you call and see if they’re actually open when you attend your reservation because it seems they won’t go out of their way to let you know!

Place is closed, but doesn’t tell you anywhere. Do not go. We had a reservation and got dropped off by an Uber only to find a paper note on the door that says closed. Very disappointed.

Sadly, I was scammed when using their reservation system. I booked a table for 6 and paid $60. When we arrived, the place was closed, locked, and “temporarily” under construction! When I contacted the Bookstore to reconcile no one returned my calls or emails. :( I am disappointed to say the least!

I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed as we made a reservation 2 months out and I understand that things happen, but we got our email confirmation at 5pm that day and we're in route after we booked a hotel for the weekend to go here to not see an email till we were on our way for our 7pm reservation that our reservation was cancelled. No explanation.
Since we're already there, we ended up going to the place and see a sign on the door that they were closed for 'unexpected circumstances'. I mean, call people at least and explain it as their phone just rang off the hook.
Horrific customer service and will never even try to book again. Avoid at all costs as if this is how they treat customers, I can't imagine what the actual place is like.
Avoid avoid avoid!

We had a reservation for over a month. Two hours before the reservation I get an email from a third party- host me- saying the reservation has been canceled. I tried calling the restaurant and it said the mailbox was full. We took an Uber there to find a sign that said they’re closed for repairs. Very bad business to not call people when canceling a reservation two hours prior.

Do not trust this restaurant with terrible service. Attempted to make reservations for a large group. They never confirmed the reservation nor returned calls yet charged $100. This is not how any good restaurant/bar should be run and with no follow up. Beware. We called over three times and left messages.

Not sure what happened to this place. I used to love coming here every year with my husband during the holiday season. Anyways, do not make a reservation here!! They are closed, but will still take your deposit money!!! I have called, messaged. No one gets back to you.

Made reservations online to have a special night with my fiancé only to find an unprofessional piece of paper at the door saying that they are (closed off) so disrespectful, I can see this place is closing soon
