Quite a few college towns have a bar named The Library, so you can honestly say you were at The Library last night (The Office is also a popular bar name). However, there is a trend toward bringing books and bars together, particularly in Los Angeles. These are real taverns that are lined with books that patrons can read and discuss -or you can just bask in the literary atmosphere. Styleture shows us four such bars, like The Wellesbourne, pictured here. Link -Thanks, chris!

I remember back in the '70s, the Hilton on Ft Laud Bch had a bar called The Library.. They also had a restaurant called the Bookseller! I loved going to them.. the only problem was that the books were all glued together so they couldn't be read!

There used to be a good bar like this, called Scholars, near the University of Alberta campus in Edmonton. Unfortunately most of the bookshelves were lined with crappy books found at flea markets and garage sales.

It is nice to know that something as antiquated as bound books are finding a new life as quaint decorations for bars and restaurants.

Do you want to drink in a bar that is brightly lit... or read in a library that is as dark as a normal bar?
