Chapter Book Lounge is adorable!!! I love the curated book selections, speciality drink menu and fun nick-nacks that make for great gifts. Great spot for a solo date or a coffee date, small book club gathering! Definitely add this spot to your list of places to check out in Noblesville. read more

I love any bookstore, but a bookstore and a cocktail bar? Can't get any better than that! My husband and I stopped in here after our nephew's basketball game a couple of Sundays ago and had a couple of cocktails and perused their wares. I bought 2 new (to me, they have a wonderful pre-owned book selection for 1/2 off MSRP!) books, as well as 2 gorgeous hair claw clips. They have such a cute children's book/toy section and lots of little trinkets like stickers, key chains, and cocktail supplies. My sister lives in Noblesville and that is usually who I come in with, so I already know I'll be back soon. read more

Cute and cozy bookstore with some used options as well. The collection is more conducive to looking through the shelves to discover a new book, rather than going after a specific item. I ended up with two books that I can't wait to read. read more

Chapter Book Lounge - Exterior - Bookstores Near Me - Noblesville, Indiana

The store is very cute and welcoming. It's a small business, so there is a small selection of books to choose from. It looked as if they have events throughout the month. That peaked my interest. I wanted to buy something to support them, but from the selection they currently have, I've didn't find much of what I have already read. They sell cocktails and snacks. I definitely will be following them on Facebook. read more

I stopped in Chapter Book Lounge after calling to confirm they had children's books, when I needed a quick gift for my nephew's birthday. Not only was I happy to see a well stocked children's section, but they also had books with diverse characters and storylines. I grabbed two books and a card. The employee that helped me was friendly and the space was cozy and welcoming. I hope to return soon and spend more time browsing and enjoying the vibe with a good book and a cocktail. read more

Went because they had an event on a Sunday. Purchased tickets to check out their special tasting of their fall menu with someone doing permanent jewelry! Sounded so cool. The permanent jewelry person cancelled after the start time, which sucked but oh well. We got to pick 4 drinks to try and then got one full size. To be honest the small drinks were lacking flavor. My full size drink was great but tasted much different than the taster. They had popcorn for us to snack on and we ordered a charcuterie board, which could've used more crackers and for the price it was meh. It's a cute place and plenty of street parking. read more

Stopped in during the IIBC and was impressed with the selection, staff and the cocktails! Great spot to grab a drink and read by yourself or with friends. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is a dream come true! Books, coffee, and cocktails? Yes, please! This place is adorable and beautiful inside. There are lots of places to meet friends and have a drink. Unfortunately, my friend and I just came from breakfast before we stopped in, so we did not partake in any beverages. That just means we will be back! There were many on the menu that sounded amazing. On top of their selection of many new books, I bought one for my classroom and one for myself, they also have used books to purchase. Can't wait to come back and indulge in beverages! read more

This location has been open a little over a year and I cannot believe it has taken me this long to visit. This venue is absolutely stunning with the kindest staff! This is a place where you want to look at every single item because the selection is amazing. They have a good amount of seating and you can select a book to read while you sit and order a drink. I tried one of the espresso + vanilla iced coffees with caramel drizzle and it was truly phenomenal. They host book clubs and have a point system as well. Definitely worth a visit! read more

If they were hiring and I lived closer, I would apply to work here because I really never wanted to leave! First, the aesthetic of this place just transported me to far away places. The wooden tables of various shapes and sizes, the darker colors of the space, the color pops of books, and selection of additional book related items. This place is dreamy. On top of it all, they offer beverages, sweet treats, AND snacks. What's not to love? My only disappointment is that the space isn't bigger because (and gladly so) it was popular and packed! It was a Saturday and the reader in me felt particularly happy to see a bustling book store. Aside from this, I want to give a special shout out to Taylor who worked behind the bar. Taylor, a local author, spent time making conversation and after finding out I set out to write my own book provided thoughtful and encouraging pointers. It was the motivation I needed that day! Thank you Taylor for making my day! I want to make a point of making the drive back at least once a month because this place just makes my heart sing. That's all. read more

Chapter Book Lounge is a little slice of heaven tucked in downtown Noblesville. The cozy-chic space combines two of my favorite things: books and cocktails. Their book-themed drinks are so creative, "The Elphaba" even came topped with a bubble for a fun twist! The selection of new and used books makes it easy to find something to take home, and the whole vibe is warm and inviting. The perfect way to spend an afternoon! read more

What an adorable addition to the old town in Noblesville! It looked so inviting from the outside that we couldn't wait to get inside. Even on a Thursday afternoon, the shop was bustling with activity. The interior is very cozy, with a few comfortable chairs and barstools where customers can sit and chat. The selection of books is wonderful, featuring a mix of popular classics and up-and-coming titles, along with a great variety of used books. The staff was friendly and overly apologetic about some new stock that was taking up table space. We enjoyed a drink while we browsed, and both were delightful. They offer a fantastic range of beverages, not just alcoholic ones. This shop is well worth a trip to Noblesville! read more

A delight. Books, drinks, snacks - what more could you want? This is a small space with limited seating, so reservations are advised. They also only have light snacks, so don't go too hungry. We had our Book Club Christmas gathering here, and it was the perfect setting for cocktails and chatting. read more

ADORABLE and cozy! Very kind staff and lots of great options for drinks, snacks, and of course, books. A great little place to hang out.

My bookclub was excited to check this place out for one of our monthly meet ups. My friend booked ahead online and when she got there, they did not have our reservation. Thankfully there was room for us outside because a group was booked at 630 (although we are thinking they canceled because this is how we were able to book online... seemed like some real confusion here) but if you do have a reservation, there is a $30 per person minimum. This is relatively hard to meet with a very limited menu, unless you buy a book. I had a mocktail (only 2 can options) and a slice of cake for $16. The menu had cheese boards and dessert, so hard to want to get much more when already having dessert. They do not have any "meal" options so I wish they would have let us bring in our own food since most of us did not eat ahead of time as there was no menu online to see what our options were. The charcuterie boards were $18 and probably was enough for 2-3 (cheese, meat, a jam spread, 5 crackers, and some nuts) The service was.... Not great. I don't want to say awful but the person making drinks seemed to have little knowledge of what was in them. And it was SO. SLOW. the majority of our group barely touched their drinks because they said they were disgusting. There was only one person serving us but kept talking to 2 other employees who must not have been working at the time otherwise I'm confused why they wouldn't help out. The place has a cute vibe. Tons of books & the place where you would want to sit and read or enjoy a drink with friends. There isn't a ton of seating anywhere (inside or outside) but wasn't super busy either. I was overall disappointed in the experience here in terms of food, drink, and service but at least it's a cute, local place to buy books! read more

I love the vibe this place offers! Cozy, intimate, and unique. It's the perfect place to grab a last minute gift too! I enjoyer the cocktails we got. Old fashioned & a French martini. The service was a little slower only because there was one person working. It was also a bit awkward because there are tables so we sat down at one waiting for a server and finally after no one came I went up and asked if we had to order at the bar and we did. It would be nice to have little signs stating to order at the bar or at the very least someone working there should have told us. read more

This place is very cute and was extremely busy during the Indie Indy Book Crawl. I liked that there's new books as well as a used book section. It's a smaller space but I love the concept and the book lounge vibes with the drink menu. Fits in so nicely in downtown Noblesville! read more

2025 is my year to visit as many locally owned book stores and coffee shops as possible. Chapter Book Lounge is currently ranked as my top fav in the book store category - and that's not the yummy cocktails talking. I had heard multiple rave reviews about CBL so my book nerd girlfriends and I came here for a Friday Eve girl date. The space is THE CUTEST - new and used books lining one wall and sitting on displays throughout, a kids book section complete with the BEST books, cutely curated book themed gifts, jigsaw puzzles, stickers - all my literature loving heart could want. Then, there were the cocktails. Chef's kiss. We tried 8-9 of their offerings between us - most from the featured menu as we were told the "seasonal" drinks were going to change the next day. Everything we had was delicious - with favorites being the espresso old fashioned, the margaritas, the martinis, and one 'spritz' type potion. Drinks were between $11-$17, which seems pretty standard these days. They also offer mocktails, coffees, and some desserty/snack options. I also want to try the bottomless truffle popcorn next time! It was super bustling and busy even at 430pm on a Friday - feeling more like a fun cocktail spot than a bookstore at that time of day/evening. We were lucky to score spots on the couch and surrounding chairs, but it was standing room only for some folks. You can join their annual membership for $100 and receive sweet swag and deals. For free, you also earn loyalty points for each purchase ($1 = 1 point, earning a $10 off coupon for every $100 spent). One thing to look forward to: CBL merch! Of note, there is no real parking situation aside from street parking and perhaps a nearby parking garage - so don't get discouraged! Cannot wait for my next visit and we hope to take advantage of renting some of the space for upcoming book club events, too! read more

Our book club wanted to go to a boozy bookstore for our January meeting. Chapter Book Lounge was perfect. I got the Hot to go co and it was delicious. It was so cozy and perfect. We had popcorn and sat and chatted in their lounge space. It is not a huge store and was quite crowded while we were there. The drinks and food were a little pricey but were definitely good. The service was wonderful at the store. We will definitely be back. read more

I have been dying to stop by Chapter Book Lounge. It's a cute curated bookstore. Most of the books they had were popular/viral books, which I think is great if you are looking for a must read. Those "popular" books are also great conversation starters so it fits with the concept of this shop. I LOVE that they had a selection of used books. We went on a Friday night around 7PM and I really had no clue what to expect. It was busy but we were still able to find a spot to sit. I do think they could use more seating but I'm not sure where? They have a variety though, couches, chairs, large tables, small two tops, and a couple seats at the bar. The drinks were good, I got the toasted marshmallow espresso martini and my husband got the bourbon mule, both were strong so well worth the money :). Overall this was a very comfortable and cozy experience. I'd love to come back earlier in the day to try some of their other non cocktail drinks. read more

I really liked the idea behind this, but unfortunately the place was simply swamped with people when we came here in the fall of 2024, and because of that, I don't feel like I got a good look. The drinks we had were nice, but I think the main thing this place could use is a little additional seating. Maybe on a less busy day, the need for that wouldn't be so bad, but it definitely was on the day we came. read more

Chapter Book Lounge - Cold brew - Bookstores Near Me - Noblesville, Indiana

A few steps from Noblesville's historic courthouse square, you'll find this swanky corner bookstore with cocktail lounge! Great spot for a few cocktails before dinner on the square plus an opportunity to purchase a new or barely used book in case your date's a bore. Noticed a display of unique puzzles and games that would make excellent gifts. We sat at the bar and had two cocktails that were mixed perfectly. We were surprised the tasty popcorn wasn't complementary- heads up, it adds $9 to your bill. I mean, didn't bars used to provide salty nibbles to encourage more drink orders? We will definitely be back - lovely service - perfect cocktails and we left with a new book each... for reading later, no boring dates here! read more

OBSESSED with this place! The cutest, coziest vibes. This is about to become my go-to bar recommendation. A curated bookstore and cocktail experience, there's a little something for every book lover here. There's plenty of space to sit -- at tables, the bar, and in giant leather couches that remind me of my favorite old-fashioned coffee shops. We got the toasted marshmallow martinis which were delicious, reasonably priced, and delightful to watch them make. Also loved the bottomless truffle popcorn -- perfect snack to share and they refilled it 3 times for us so they're serious about the bottomless! Brooke (the owner) came over to introduce herself and was observant, kind, and lovely to chat with. All of the bartenders were also so friendly. Woman owned and operated! They have a rewards system for purchases that counts for books, food, and beverages, so if you end up frequenting their business there's lots of bonuses there for you! I can't wait to curl up here with a good book this winter. A much-needed addition to the businesses in Noblesville! read more

Chapter Book Lounge - Toasted Marshmallow Espresso Martini - Bookstores Near Me - Noblesville, Indiana

Newly opened bookstore/cafe/bar in downtown Noblesville. There is one wall lined with books (new and used), some small gift items - and coffee, cocktails and wine to sip. The store was very busy when I stopped by to check it out - I think there was also some sort of a craft event happening at the same time on the square. There are some seating options in the front of the store and a bar area in the back. The book selection is not my taste - neither is the decor and the vibe. I likely won't be returning here - but I am sure others will like it, and there are plenty of other new bookstores/cafes in Indy I enjoy. read more

Had my book club here and it was such a vibe. The aesthetic of the whole day was so on point for book club. It was a little rainy and we got a cute little table in the corner of the lounge. The customer service was wonderful and some of the ladies even asked our suggestions on what to add to their charcuterie boards. I thought this was cool because they really wanted to appease the customer. The cocktails were so tasty. I got a smores maritini and a french 75. Both equally delicious! The charcuterie board was so tasty with all the different cheese and the fig jam was SO good! The ladies brought us water while we chatted and before I knew it hours had flown by. It was super cozy and intimate as we discussed our book, shared some tears and experiences. 10/10 highly recommend read more

Cute location with a variety of new and used books. It is a little small so if you are coming to hangout in a group just be forewarned - although they do have a meeting room in the back that you can reserve. They mainly have cocktails so if you are coming for a wide assortment of latte selections - you are coming to the wrong place. I love that they have mystery books for purchase because I think that idea is just so fun. All in all very cute little bookshop definitely check it out. read more

Saw this on Instagram and decided to host our bookclub here. Loveeeee! The store is super cute and a great addition to the charm of the Square. I ordered a croissant and a fun take on an espresso martini. This cocktail was delicious and the croissant was super soft and warm. The staff was really friendly, and you could tell they spend time and attention on the details. The space was perfect for Bookclub although you may want to plan ahead or book a space if you have a large group. I enjoyed finishing our time by browsing the collection of books, which helped us pick our next read. Would definitely go back! read more
