The Traveller’s Bucket List Item #3 | Books and Champagne

Aren’t you tired of the same experience? Every bookstore tells the same story. The limited collection. The cheap, post-adaptation re-prints with the actors on the cover. The No Food rule. They don’t create a space where you can enjoy the books because they don’t want you to enjoy them, they want you to buy them and leave.

Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar do things a little differently.

This dog-friendly establishment, situated in the Grove Arcade of downtown Asheville, combines “two of earth’s finest pleasures, books and wine, side by side.”

In this ever-changing boutique you can wile away the afternoons and enrich your evenings with exceptional coffees, a selection of fine and sparkling wines, champagne and cheese platers whilst you explore a labyrinth of over 22,000 used books - including signed copies - available for purchase.

Vintage and modern come together beautifully here in a bookstore-bar hybrid that makes for a charming setting for dinner parties or romantic meals, with an expansive menu, wine and flowers ready at your request, and uses its décor to create an atmosphere of ambiance and extravagance, creating a truly unique experience.
