Rough Draft Bar & Books

COVID-19 REVIEW: Open and Uber cute! So happy we stopped by this adorable bar/book store and had a yummy sour beer while browsing all the fun books inside. It was situated in a historic corner of town in a stone building with very lovely decor and plenty of different seating. People were there reading enjoying a drink or set up on high tops studying and doing work on laptops. Great place to hang out and chill vibes wish they had a place like this by me. Do not underestimate this place the beer selection is amazing.

Good folk with great book selection. Very dog a child friendly. The best chai latte around. We love that they carry locally made vegan donuts!

Great savoury pies and coffee in a well designed and thoughtful coffee/book shop. There are a lot of nice relaxed patrons, but also sadly some frowning people working at their laptops who can be ignored. Definitely worth a visit for the pies, and it’s more relaxed at the bar seats.

Really cool place and great set up and idea. It's a bit pricey. And books tend to be geared far more towards new and progressive. Thats either a plus or a minus.

My favorite bookstore! Also an amazing coffee spot and if your so inclined the beer is pretty fabulous as well. What’s not to love in a place where you can sit and read and drink the beverage of your choice.

Excellent bar/cafe/bookshop. Great concept and a strong, short tap list. Drank hill farmstead as it's still something of a delicacy where I'm from, but numerous interesting options

Really great atmosphere. So many different kinds of people who patronize the place its wonderful - everyone is made to feel comfortable. There are comfy corners, tables and kid corners. The people who work here and very warm

Came through while passing through from NYC to wayyyy upstate. Very glad I did. Beautiful and well curated bookstore with the added bonus of a great beer selection, coffee and donuts.
I’d like to add that the seating is comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and everyone was super friendly.
Very impressive selection of good cocktail and bartending books.

Great ambiance at this combo bookstore, coffee shop, brewery. They are doing everything right. Great coffee and pastries, truly excellent beer selection, and chill vibe make this place a wonderful spot for a break day or nite. and so many books to look at make it hard to leave. Get the sausage roll with a beer, you wont regret it.

Incredibly cozy place to shop for books and read. They have good snacks and a great tea selection. Their cookies are also delicious - really flavorful without being too sweet. This is fast becoming one of my favorite places in the stockade district.
