Sip N Read Book Bar, which will offer a blend of "literature and libations," is set to open this spring at 1620 Michigan Ave., Suite 122, in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, Mich. The Free Press reported that the new business is a place "where visitors can peruse novels of all genres in a space that's billed as cozy and social while offering Michigan-made wines and craft cocktails."
"Sip N Read is more than just a bookstore or a bar--it's a destination where stories are told, friendships are formed, and ideas are shared," said owner and author Tamela Todd, who founded the bookshop and bar to provide an atmosphere that "encourages conversation, creativity, and community."
Located in a 2,400-square-foot space, Sip N Read will also offer monthly literary and discussion events, book signings, and author readings.
Noting that the project "is truly personal for me," she added: "As a three-time published author, books have always been a huge part of my life. I love nothing more than sipping and reading--whether it's coffee, tea, wine, or a mocktail--and I wanted to create a space that brings that experience to life. We're creating a space that celebrates literature while offering a modern social experience, blending two of life's greatest pleasures--books and wine."
