Gladys Books & Wine
5.0 (109)shop
A Black lesbian-owned Bed-Stuy spot pairing curated queer literature with a downstairs natural wine bar and backyard.
Description



Downstairs, the wine bar pours natural wines and serves light bites like personal pizza and popcorn. The bookshop's curated shelves focus on Black queer literature, and the spacious backyard is a draw. Visitors praise the welcoming atmosphere and note the owner's friendliness. The space also hosts events, and one reviewer's planned hour-long visit stretched into three, a sign of its magnetic pull.
