Another new addition to Portsmouth’s cultural scene is slated to open later this year.  Portsmouth Book & Bar will be a bookstore offering more than just books…in their own words:

“Amazon is convenient, we’re beautiful,” the booksellers wrote to the city. “We’ve taken a hard look at bookselling’s future. Great titles are not enough; pretty views are not enough; a good cup of coffee is not enough, so we’ve added beer, wine, and sophisticated snacks.”

I’m looking forward to seeing what the feel is like once they’re open – and to what it will bring to our downtown.
