A unique concept blending bookstore and bar is headed to Leander, creating a new community gathering space for literary enthusiasts and casual readers alike.
A new chapter
A bookstore and beverage concept, Prose and Pints, is planning to open its first brick-and-mortar storefront in August or September, owner Leigh Ross said.
The business will expand from its current online and market presence into a physical space featuring books and novelty items at the front and a micro-cocktail bar at the back. The bar will showcase literature-inspired cocktails and seating for about 20 people.
In addition to books and beverages, Prose and Pints will offer curated book-themed merchandise and novelty items for readers.

The online shop is expected to relaunch alongside the in-person grand opening.
Can’t wait?
In the meantime, Prose and Pints will continue vending at Georgetown Market Days, with an upcoming appearance scheduled for May 8.
