First off, I love their company policy to turn wifi off on weekends. People seriously need to befriend their neighbors and people in the community in real life rather than be addicted to the internet and social media. This is a house, converted into a book store in a residential neighborhood. More accurately, it is a hybrid of a coffee shop and wine bar. They serve breakfast tacos as well. The backyard is very nice and has plenty of seating. I think this is a cool interesting concept. It is definitely romantic. There is no parking lot so you have to park on the street.
How can anyone give this place less than 5 stars? What an amazing place to hang, meet people, buy a book, record, have a cocktail, glass of wine, cup of coffee, or see a show. Pretty much every single thing I love in one place.
This place is amazing friendly, great service, AMAZING cocktails and lovely laid back atmosphere. You have to be members to drink here, but that’s a 1 minute driving license scan.
Can’t say enough good things about this place - we love it!
Love the cozy atmosphere of this place! The bartenders were all amazing. The quality of the cocktails was great. Love the unique things offered here - the different variety of books and cocktails. They have a lot of things you wouldn't find anywhere else.
I loved this bookstore! A small location so not a large selection of books but the books there are wide ranging and quality choices. It has a great atmosphere though with a bar serving literary themed drinks as well as coffee or tea and several places to sit and enjoy.

Outstanding bar with a small, focused bookstore attached. Great venue for local, live entertainment!!
Shonti was amazing. She has an amazing and fun personality and the place itself has great music and calm vibe. Though they were playing music I was still able to focus on reading. Did you know you buy a book they give you ANY drink for freeee.
Great coffee, not very crowded and a low key atmosphere. I love the happy hour idea of buying a book and getting one drink for free! Definitely worth visiting.
Dallas isn't all Dallas thinks Dallas is, but The Wild Detectives is something that defines a special spot in a city like Dallas. I moved a few thousand miles away and coming back to this place was instant bliss.
This is one of my go-to bars. Great outdoor back patio, amazing cocktails, wonderful bartender and service. I overall just love the concept.
The Irish coffee is my go to drink to unwind and relax. All the bartenders know their stuff and I've never received anything less than a perfect cocktail.
Great spot for hanging out, studying, or meetings. I always love the ambiance here & it’s in my top 5 fave cafés in Dallas! The book selection is also really good.
This is a cool little coffee shop/bar/bookshop in the Bishop Arts District. All the drinks we tried were well made and the staff was friendly on busy Sunday afternoon. Was there for an open mic with DAMPA, and it was a great outdoor venue.
