Rough Draft Bar & Books

Really nice bookstore and coffee shop, with friendly baristas and delicious coffee. The 17th Century feel of the building and area also elicits specters of America's colonial past.

A cup of coffee or a local pint in this cozy little spot in historic Kingston is a great way to unwind. They also host events like book readings, trivia and nerd jeopardy.

Greatest bookstore I’ve ever been to! Aesthetic is unparalleled, everyone is friendly - great service, great drinks, good prices!

Coffee was great, atmosphere was inviting, and despite being quite busy, staff was very friendly and kept things moving very well! If you're in the area, be sure to stop in.

Three words - "Bar and Books." Always a great selection on beer, wine, cider, coffee, tea, etc. And the books, Wow! Curated to perfection with the latest, greatest and of course the classics, if that's your thing. Oh, and it couldn't be located in a cooler building. Outside seating with a fantastic overall vibe.

We come back to Kingston just to come back to Rough Draft. Great vibes—the crowd, music, service, set up, everything.

Awesome place to stop by and grab a coffee send book. We stumbled upon this shop while we were slowly taking back roads to different cities as we made our way north. Loved the concept and the food. Ended up buying three books. Would love to have a magnet of this spot. Will definitely return.

Beautiful, cozy neighborhood bar, bookstore and coffee shop. One of my favorite places to sit and have a cup of coffee and read in the mornings, or enjoy a few beers with friends for happy hour. Something for everyone! Kind and helpful staff. Five stars!!

A perfect combo of things. A really thoughtfully curated coffee/beer/wine menu. And of course, a lot of good books.

Great bookstore in an historic location. Oh, and they serve good coffee and libations, as well. I'm not sure about parking: I had to park in a metered spot on the street ($.25/15 minutes).
