The place is cozy and perfect for book club meetings. That's exactly what we went for and it did not disappoint! The food is very affordable and decent. The spinach and ricotta pastry along with the crepe cake taste ok but what stole the show was the corn dip. I wish it came with pita bread instead of the chips, but it was tasty nevertheless. You order at the bar and they bring the food to you. Service was quick enough although you are probably sitting there for a long time if you are really there for a book club discussion. They do their own book clubs that you can sign up for and have a huge collection of books you can peruse.
Absolutely love it here. The staff is amazing and the place is cozy,comfortable and welcoming. The bookshelves are full and there are many, the art on the wall is fun and you feel like u are in a place that would be like in NYC and you arent. A nook where u can get away, relax and yet there are people talking and socializing and others reading. You can have a drink and sit, read, socialize, do a puzzle, and buy books! What more can u ask for!?!?!? The food is so good and they offer some amazing gluten free options. They are careful about the cooking for us gluten free peeps too. I cant say enough good things about it here. I will be back so much!!!!! Go here. Trust me u wont be. disappointed
Our book club met here for our last get together and I loved it! Nice spacious room in the back for a larger group with comfy chairs and a couch! The place itself was quiet and just the type of vibe I was hoping for. You can order at the bar and they bring your food to you. There wasn't service at the tables though so I assume you have to go up if you want a refil and you empty your plates ima garage and put the dishes in a container when you leave. I tried the spinach dip and it was ok... I liked that it was served with bread and not tortillas but it could benefit from more cheese and something thicker like cream cheese. The staff was so nice and the place is clean and very relaxing. I wish I lived closer so I could frequent it often!
My husband and I visited for the first time a few weeks ago and were underwhelmed. It does not have a very cozy vibe which we were seeking. There is no fireplace and that would probably be a nice touch. It definitely felt like more bar than cozy atmosphere that you would want in a bookstore. I like the concept we both did, but it isn't the vibe we were hoping for. The desserts offered looked great and we are both gluten-free so we went with the gluten-free almond cake, which was extremely sweet - I was only able to finish half. The coffee is not good - and there are no espresso drinks offered. Not a lot of tea options either. I asked about the menu and where the flour is sourced and they were unable to answer. The canned mocktail was good but pricey. In fact it's a pretty pricey menu. I wouldn't seek this place out again but I wish them success.
I have been wanting to check this place out for a while. My cousin and I picked this spot to trauma bond. First, I purchased 2 books. They have free ARCs, which were cool to see. I purchased a used book and a new book. My cousin and I sat at bar. She enjoyed her mimosas, that are offered in other flavors than then original one, ans I enjoyed 2 European wines. They offer mocktails, tea and coffee, and beer. I also ordered the sandwich on gf. It waa delicious. I love a good sandwich, and this place has it. It was served with chips They give you a punch card abd when you spend $100, you get $10 off. I'm almost there after one visit. Cant wait to go back.
Such an adorable place to relax with a book or enjoy company with a bite to eat or drink! You order your selection and pay at the bar Service was good!
BestCellar Book Bar is a truly magnificent gem - a locally owned bookstore and bar operated by a father-daughter duo in Clarence, New York. I love supporting small businesses, and when a bookstore is paired with a restaurant and bar, it's the best of both worlds! My mom had been eagerly awaiting the opening of BestCellar Book Bar, and when she heard I'd be visiting for the holidays, she knew we had to go. I'm so glad we did - this place is incredible! The cozy atmosphere, the carefully curated selection of bestseller books, and the reasonably priced food all make it a standout spot. They offer a variety of options, from breakfast and lunch to light bites, so there's something for everyone. As for drinks, they have beer, wine, and some cocktails. I enjoyed a comforting cup of hot coffee, but they also offer tea, soda, and even a non-alcoholic beer option (if memory serves me correctly). I really appreciated the inclusive NA offerings and hope to see mocktails added to the menu in the future. The food/coffee service was great and I picked up a cute book while I was there, too. Wishing BestCellar Book Bar many, many years of success - this is such a special spot, and I can't wait to return!
What a nice aetup. A book store and a bar together that also serves food. There's a private room in the back that can be reserved (free) for book club meeting. What a great idea, enjoy your book club in a comfy setting with a glass of wine (or beverage of your choice) and a meal or snack from their food menu. We'll be back soon to do exactly that! 2024-94
Great concept. A bookstore/wine and beer bar/restaurant. Great place for friends to gather, chat, have a beverage and a few appetizers. I saw someone enjoying pretzel balls and dip, looked yummy. I recommend any book clubs in the area to check this place out for hold their meetings..
Love the look of the place and the multiple seating options including tables and chairs, but also a bar, comfy couches and chairs, a back room for book discussions and window seating. The bar area looks great with a casual relaxed ambiance throughout. Perfect to take in a good book. Of course they sell new and used books and offer a variety of drinks and snacks. The food was rather so so but the place is new, so give it some time. Prices are very reasonable so stop by, pick up a new book or bring one of your own and enjoy with a glass of wine.
This is a very unique place with a one of a kind concept. They offer a variety of literature options to enjoy with eating or drinking. The place is immaculately clean. Very smooth layout. They have very nice options for food and drinks as well
Went here after a yoga class next door. Very neat concept. Love how clean and opened it was. Bar area, tables, couches and back room for groups. Very clean and new. We were given menus and they told us to order at the bar. We ordered the croissant breakfast sandwiches and a cinnamon roll. Everything was good, not amazing. I really liked how it seemed to be a place you could go and hang out like a coffee shop.

Love love love!!!!! This place is super cute and perfect for a book club meet up which is the exact reason I stopped in! The private area for hosting was open for reservations and our book club met there. We had about 10 people but I would say this space is big enough for about 20! They have a full bar for drinks and mocktails and they also have some small plates for eating or sharing as well. I recommend the mezza plate! Very delicious. Staff were warm and welcoming and super nice and accommodating to our group. I would suggest stopping in for a nice drink and appetizer and maybe even pick up a good book! They have lots of comfy seats for you to enjoy your purchases. read more

Very cool vibe and the perfect space to host a book club . Books for sale, as well as small plates and beverages . Our gals just ordered at the counter , and someone brought us our order to the couch (I had to pre-reserve the couch online , but it was free of charge .) Parking is a bit tight in the lot . My chicken wing dip and mead was pretty good . Some books on clearance/discounted would be great . I'd go back to hold another meeting there . read more

Was so looking forward to this book-bar opening and it did not disappoint. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The building itself is very open and spacious. The bar itself is set to the side so as not to disturb the readers. I love the stools facing out the front window. My friend and I had some wine as we chatted and checked the place out. The wine list had a great selection and was very reasonably priced. Oh, and the books! They represented current 'typical' book club reads and supported a young adult section too. We reserved the semi-private room for our book club's holiday meeting. So looking forward to it and to stopping in for a tea and pastry! read more

My sister and I spent a few hours here this weekend and had a nice time! We ordered the pretzel bites and pizza cupcakes and split them. Both of us enjoyed each of the appetizers. Had a good selection of wine! They had a room in the back that is used for book club and a variety of books for sale. Will be spending a lot more time here in the future! read more
