Love to read? Love to shop? LOVE champagne? If you said yes to even one of these, you’re in for a treat. And if you said yes to all three? Prepare to discover the best bookstore you’ve ever visited. This champagne bar in North Carolina doubles as a bookstore… and not just with a token number of books. It’s laden with books – on two floors. Grab a glass if you want, but the Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar in Asheville is more of a bottle kind of place. Settle in and enjoy a new read. Here’s more:

Located on Page Avenue within the Grove Arcade in the heart of Asheville's historic district, Battery Park Book Exchange is quite the destination.

What's more: it's a used bookstore with thousands and thousands of titles to browse. The selection is ever-changing and if you have used books in excellent condition you're welcome to bring them to see if the store is interested in a purchase.

We know... it's hard to part with our books, right? But at least here, you know they'll be among other great titles also in near-mint condition - at least until some other lucky soul takes them home.
Don't let the "Champagne Bar" in the store's title mislead you into thinking that's the only pour they offer.

In addition to the 33 different kinds of champagne you'll find here (which, by the way, you can purchase in flights), Battery Park Book Exchange also offers wines by the glass, sparkling wine, and sparkling wine cocktails. Prefer beer or cider? They have that, too. And there is live music every weekend. What a bar. What a bookstore!!

Customize a charcuterie board or order one from the menu. A menu that also includes dips, cheeses, salads, smoked meats, and sandwiches — all with clever book-themed names like the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Salads, and the sandwich called Of Meat and Men.
