Linger Over Books, Wine and Late Brooklyn Drafts
Browse shelves with mint iced tea or seasonal lemonade, or choose among sixteen craft taps with sandwiches and cheese boards. Quiet corners and a sociable counter offer different ways to unwind, with bottles available to go.
Literary and Draft Stops
Drafts After Dark
Gold Star Beer Counter pairs a focused draft list with a room built around its long bar and stools. Sixteen craft beers are on tap, with dozens of bottles and cans available to take away. Coffee and pastries run daily from 8:00 AM to noon, while beer service and indoor seating begin at noon. Weekday evenings run until midnight, and Friday and Saturday continue until 1:00 AM. Sidewalk tables close at 10:00 PM.
A Place to Browse
Liz's Book Bar pairs a polished bookstore interior with a neighborhood wine bar on Smith Street. Wooden shelves and quiet corners give browsers room to linger, while social energy keeps conversation moving. The drinks include mint iced tea and seasonal lemonades, and coffee and tea are available. Literary events appear on the calendar. The space is free to enter and open to the public. Tuesday through Sunday hours reach 9:00 PM, while Monday closes at 2:00 PM.
Pair Books With Taproom Pours
Liz's Book Bar closes earlier, wrapping up service at 9:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday and at 2:00 PM on Monday, while Gold Star Beer Counter keeps drafts pouring until midnight or 1:00 AM. Beginning along Smith Street allows time to browse shelves, sip seasonal lemonades, or catch literary events before heading toward Underhill Avenue. Gold Star Beer Counter then supplies sixteen craft taps, cheese boards, and sandwiches for later hours. Both addresses welcome morning coffee drinkers, yet their nighttime rhythms diverge completely.
