Story

Step back in time at The Bookstore Speakeasy: a 1920's style speakeasy located in Bethlehem, PA. The Bookstore offers prohibition-era cocktails and punch-bowls with hand-carved ice and freshly-squeezed juices, an extensive craft beer selection, a thoughtful wine list, and beautifully crafted American cuisine ranging from small plates to complete dinners. Live 20's and 30's jazz music is performed on several nights throughout the week in our intimate candle and oil lamp lit room. The gorgeous copper bar is the center of the action where our bartenders perform their craft every night.

The name says it all. Cozy speakeasy ambience with live jazz on the weekends which can be fairly loud in such a small space. If you want a quick in and out meal, this might not be the place for you tonight. But if you would like to sit back, relax, unplug from your phone and feel like you have stepped back 100 years then welcome. Dozens of fancy cocktails with lots of ingredients but be warned to pace yourself, these are not weak watered down well drinks, they are worth the $12-14 price tag. Snacks, small plates, large plates, and desserts at all price levels $6-$40. Finish it all off with a liquid dessert, listen to some live jazz then call a Lyft home. Seriously please don't drink and drive.
Recent new owners/management  show promise while still working out some kinks in the transition. Same charismatic bartenders who have been making your drinks the last 3 years holding down the bar. There is a reason I keep going back over the last 6 years through many bartenders and managers. Have a seat at the bar on a weeknight to try some drinks created just for you and talk shop about booze.

This was a ton of fun! We went and had a delightful time. Would have been even more fun if we had dressed up in period costume like the staff and some patrons, but we were just in from out of town so we were unprepared. No matter, they welcomed us anyway. The night we were there they had live music (The Red Hot Ramblers) who kept us entertained will h their music and antics. Highly recommend!

So, the food there is delicious and the atmosphere is beautiful and cozy. The staff on the other hand is a different story. The wait staff/hostess staff continuously remind you that you only have your table for 2 hours. Knowing that right off the bat makes you feel pressured to rush your experience there. Additionally, it makes me think that maybe the establishment only cares about flipping tables quickly to make more money. I have been to many fine dining establishments in the Lehigh Valley, and this is the only place that constantly reminds you “you only have an hour left at this table and then we are going to have to ask you to have a seat at the bar or leave”. Wow! Really?  Pretty sad. 
   Also, while we were reading over our menus, my husband adjusted the little lantern on our table slightly to turn the flame up so we could see a bit better. Our waitress came over like a bat out of hell to our table and proceeded to scold my husband like he was a child. She rudely told him not to touch the oil lamp, that it was very expensive and that he can’t touch it. Her tip automatically dropped to 10% with that nasty attitude. Again, kudos to the chefs and the decorators but lose the attitudes with the staff. Such a turn off and such a shame that the staff brings this beautiful establishment down.

Great food and drinks! Staff is great and attentive.  Very knowledgeable. Unique 1920's jazz feel while still providing high end quality meal.

Came here for the first time for my birthday. Drinks were delicious! They are handcrafted so you have to wait a bit for them to be made but they are well worth it. I ordered the escargot and crab cakes which were amazing! I enjoyed the live music too. Would highly recommend.
