Books and Secrets, a bookstore and champagne bar, is in development in Palm Springs, Calif., the Palm Springs Desert Sun reported.
The bookstore is planned for 2481 N. Palm Canyon Dr., a building that has been vacant for many years. It will feature a hidden room containing a 10-seat champagne bar, accessible through a bookshelf.
While co-owners Athalie and Adnan LaPamuk don't have a timetable for opening, their plans were recently approved by the Palm Springs Planning Department. The couple also owns Ice Cream & Shop(pe), located on the same street.
"The idea is that you come and buy your books, and through a bookshelf there is a little portal to a very small champagne bar," Athalie LaPamuk told the planning commission last week, per the Desert Sun. "Why? Because I love to read and I also love champagne. So it’s just a combination of the things that I’m super passionate about."
