In Dallas, there's a hidden tavern inside a bookstore

❤️This is a non-profit bookstore, so the selection of books isn't solely based on commercial logic. Instead, it focuses more on the social value, aesthetic value, and other aspects of the books. Inside the bookstore, there's also a café that hosts a variety of events. From poetry open mics to writing workshops, you can quietly read a book or make new friends here. There are many reasons to love this place. I love the contrast between books and alcohol, the stories and poetic descriptions the book lovers give to the seasonal cocktails, the rich and smooth flavors, and the feeling of zoning out in the breeze and sunshine. 📙I often come here alone to drink and read, stubbornly connecting with the world through observation. Alcohol is a stress-reliever, and after getting tipsy, I go on wild kissing sprees. If you also love alcohol, if you also have stories, come have a drink. It's on me. 🏠 The Wild Detectives 📍 314 W Eighth St, Dallas, TX 75208 Half Price Books Half Price Books is different from the independent bookstore mentioned earlier.
