About Books & Brews
Books & Brews is a brewpub in Indianapolis with a used bookstore in the front and a bar in the back. The bar sells its own craft beers, all cleverly named after books.
The bookstore sells gently used books of all kinds. 10% of all proceeds goes to IndyReads, a nonprofit that runs adult and childhood literacy programs. It is also a game store and a collectibles store.
The menu keeps the book theme going. It offers grilled cheese sandwiches on sourdough, a Bavarian-style pretzel with beer cheese, nachos and chicken nuggets, plus a kids menu. The weekly calendar includes trivia, open mic and tabletop Tuesday.
The entrance, parking lot and restroom are wheelchair accessible. Sun King Brewery is 0.7 miles away.
