A Bronx Bookshop With Wine And WiFi

Browse shelves, sip drinks, and settle into a community centered hangout built for dates and long stays.

Browse, then sip at The Lit. Bar.

📚 Read And Sip

Shelves of books and a glass of wine share one roof at The Lit. Bar, a Black owned bookstore and wine bar on Alexander Avenue in the Bronx. It runs as a community centered hangout and a date spot, with popular titles on the shelves, ample seating, WiFi, and a playlist that invites you to stay a while.

One house rule shapes the whole afternoon. Browsing happens away from the wine bar under a strict no spill policy, and any book you want to read over a drink has to be bought first. Pick a title, settle into a seat with a glass, and let the conversation stay quiet or turn into a proper date.

Hours run Tuesday through Thursday from 2 PM to 7 PM, stretching to 8 PM on Friday and Saturday, with the doors closed Sunday and Monday. Plan an afternoon slot to give both halves their due, a slow browse first and a pour after.
