The Literary & Hopscotch have partnered to bring you a one-of-a-kind environment complete with books, events, wine, delicious food, and more.
Remember the Scholastic Book Fair as a kid? It's like that. For adults, in a bar.
We also carry an extensive collection of children's, middle grades, and young adult titles. Everyone is welcome here.
Why a Bookbar?
First of all, why the heck not? Second, because books and wine (and coffee, we'll have that too) pair perfectly together. Third, and most importantly, because Chambana needs a 'third place'- a place where people can come together around conversation, great books, and shared interests, without having to have some kind of membership to belong.
​
We want you here, just as you are.
​
Plus, Champaign-Urbana deserves more access to independent booksellers, not just big box giants.
