    About Books & Bars

    Books & Bars is free and open to the public. If you appreciate what we offer and want to help us continue to provide a free, fun and informative club, please consider contributing:

    1. Buy books from our sponsor, local independent bookseller, Magers & Quinn.

    2. Enjoy specials on food and beverages at the venues (usually Aster Cafe).

    3. Tip your friendly neighbor Moderator, Jeff Kamin. We’re in our 7th year, produced and performed as a labor of love.
    Send me suggestions. I love to hear from you to make this the best book club experience/show.
    Twitter: @booksandbars and @jefe23, e-mail: jeff@booksandbars.com.

    Thank you for helping “Reinvent the Book Club”.

    “We liked the book a lot more after being here, as always.” To this, Kamin smiles broadly, satisfied that he’s done his job. –

    “Books & Bars lives up to both parts of its name, a reading
    club that gathers monthly to share views and brews.”
