Books And Brews

Came to Books and Brews this week, and had a great time. First off, the place is really clean, and has nice tables and decor. Chairs were comfortable. We got a 14 inch pizza and a large order of pepperoni rolls. Excellent food and service! My uncle got a couple of their IPA’s, and really liked them. The only drawback is that you have to pay for parking. But that is easily overlooked when the food hits the table. Highly recommend! Support our local restaurants!

Passing through this quaint town of Charleston, WV, I was intrigued to find out they serve a Vegan Burger! Tired, hungry & ready for a break on my long drive...I went in Books and Brew...and to my surprise it was more like a restaurant cafe' than a bar...Cool reads everywhere!! The Plant Based Burger & fries were Amazing & served hot...I sat at the bar to watch the US Open...best seat in the house!! Thank you Michael for suggesting the burger on the menu! Would stop in a heartbeat if ever in the neighborhood! Thanks for your time reading this post...Happy Trails...

Wow. Great environment, very friendly staff (a special shout out about Hannah's exceptional demeanor and service!) and great beer. We stopped in here after checking out some of the local murals. We only had time to grab a quick brew but would love to come back and spend some time soaking in the atmosphere. The books, the maps and the beers created a very comfortable vibe that I'm sure we'd frequent regularily if we lived a bit closer.

Book themed restaurant? I’m in. This place is a couple doors down from a concert venue we are visiting tonight. Cutest little place. Books everywhere. Creatively named menu items that were just delightful. The waitress (Hannah - super sweet) said her two favorite sandwiches were To Kill A Mockingbird and the Coalminer so we ordered both. The Coalminer was my favorite but my husband preferred the other. Service was exceptional. Decent beer selection. Will definitely be back.

It’s a nice, clean place, yes. However, when you really dissect what you’re paying for, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Food comes with a ridiculous amount of greens, burger patties are frozen and not seasoned, wings, fries and everything else is baked instead of fried. The bar is small with only six seats, despite the large, open facility. The beer selection is mediocre. There are few local beers tapped, and of the beers on tap included PBR and natural light. When I questioned why these are included on the tap menu, one waitress (who wasn’t even the one serving us, or the one I asked) butted in and was very rude stating they are not a brewery and got an attitude with me. If they are going to use the name “Books and Brews”, they really should have more “brews” to choose from, especially local offerings. Things to take away from this: 1) take the unnecessary greens off the plate, or at least provide some dressing and a fork so it can actually be eaten 2) they should use fresh, ground beef for the burgers 3) get a deep fryer. Oven baked fries are not appetizing. 4) needs more beer options, ESPECIALLY local offerings. Take PBR and natural light off tap.
