If you love a good story and a great glass of wine, there's a place in downtown St. Pete that was practically made for you. Book + Bottle is more than just a bookstore or wine bar—it's a thoughtfully curated space where literature, libations, and local connection come together beautifully.
Nestled on 6th Street North, this cozy spot has quickly become a community hub for readers, thinkers, creatives, and leaders alike.
📚 Book Clubs for Every Kind of Reader
Book + Bottle hosts a variety of themed book clubs, each one offering a unique space to gather, sip, and share perspectives. Here’s what you can expect:
· Fiction Book Club – Held on the last Thursday of each month from 6:00–7:30 PM, this group dives into compelling fiction with a glass of something good in hand. Welcoming to all, whether you're new to book clubs or a seasoned reader.
· New + Noteworthy Book Club – Meeting every other month on the last Wednesday, this club highlights contemporary literary fiction released within the past five years. Think genre-bending novels, bold new voices, and thought-provoking reads.
· Rotating Genre Book Club – Alternating months with the New + Noteworthy group, this club encourages readers to explore something out of the norm—from memoirs to mysteries, and everything in between.
· Lady Leaders + Readers Book Club – A standout offering for women in leadership, this club meets on the last Sunday of each month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM—before the store opens. Picture morning mimosas, intentional conversations, and a community of driven women discussing books on growth, mindset, and success.
No need to RSVP—just grab a copy of the book (preferably from Book + Bottle to support local!) and show up ready for meaningful dialogue.
🍷 Beyond the Bookshelves
Book + Bottle also boasts a fantastic beverage menu. From carefully curated wines to local beers, coffee, and snacks, the experience is designed to delight all your senses. The wine list changes regularly, so there’s always something new to discover.
Weekly events round out the community vibe, including:
· Sip + Stitch – Wednesday mornings from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Bring your knitting, crochet, or hand-sewing projects and enjoy crafting with a drink in hand.
· Writer’s Happy Hour – Tuesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. Whether you're journaling, working on your novel, or just need a creative outlet, this is your hour of inspiration and flow.
