About THE EVENT
Our popular Book Bar is back! This is an upbeat social event for book lovers who want to mingle, read, or both.
We’re bringing Book Bar to a new spot—Seventh Son Brewing—and we can’t wait to welcome you for another round of great books, drinks, and conversation. Get a drink, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy this community-oriented event where you can chat, read, or both!
Food/drink choices will be announced in the coming weeks. Every ticket comes with one standard drink and buffet-style appetizers.
You can choose from the Event Only ticket (includes admission, one standard drink, and appetizers) or an Event + Blind Date Book Bundle ticket (includes one randomly selected “Blind Date” book, admission, one standard drink, and appetizers).
Seating is limited, so grab your spot early, and let’s make this night one to remember!
Note: This is an adult-only event. All guests must be 21 or older.
