Revisions: Books & Bar, a bookstore, bar and cafe, is coming to the Butcher's Hill area of Baltimore, Md., next spring, the Baltimore Business Journal reported.
Co-owners Andrew Weinzirl and Lina Bertinelli will open the store in a 3,120-square-foot building that was once home to an Irish pub called the Life of Reilly. The eventual plan is to have the bar area on the building's first floor, with a bookstore and lounge upstairs. They are currently remodeling the interior and hope to open in March.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, they'll likely start things off with takeout service and sidewalk sales. Other plans for offerings include book bundles and picnic packages featuring bottles of wine or to-go cocktails. Weinzirl told the BBJ that the bar will serve "American upscale pub food."
Weinzirl is an experienced local chef, most recently serving as executive chef for the Choptank in Broadway Market. Bertinelli, meanwhile, is a workforce librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library's central branch. Her plans for the bookstore inventory include highlighting books by people of color and by LGBT authors.
