Welcome to BookBar
an independent bookshop and social space in London

BookBar brings people together through books.

Come and visit our bookshop, wine bar and events space in Islington or Chelsea, join us for one of our in person events, browse and order books online or join our BookClub.

Celebrate 5 years of BookBar!

From a Birthday Party with cake, fizz and 20% off books all night, to a four day festival across both our shops in June, we are celebrating with a bang and we invite our whole community to get involved.
