Bookstore Cafe & Bar
*Please note that due to COVID-19, the Bookstore Cafe & Bar is currently closed.
For over a decade, Housing Works Bookstore Cafe & Bar has established itself as a New York downtown institution and tourist destination. All of our stock is donated, and we are staffed almost entirely by volunteers, so 100% of our profits go to fund Housing Works' lifesaving services. There are free and low-cost events many nights of the week, an exceptional range of books, movies, and music, and a fully stocked cafe & bar. We pride ourselves in being a great place to visit, meet friends, relax, read, write, and shop! Our one-of-a-kind space is available for rent, and we host weddings and special events almost every weekend.

The Cafe
Our recently upgraded cafe & bar serves hot and cold food and drinks, including tea, coffee, juice, soda, and seltzer, sweet & savory pastries, sandwiches, & soups. We have an excellent selection of beer, wine, and liquor, and frequently serve cocktail specials.
A special thank you to Two Boots for their generous support of Housing Works!
