I love the jazz here. After hours fun. Unique groups. Small venue. Bring your own drinks and snacks. It’s about the music and connections, not profit.

A treasure hidden in fog. We come here for kids books and the bookstore feel. It's cozy and comfortable.

A wonderful local bookstore that hosts live music after hours. Entry fee is by donation. (BYOB). May want to call ahead to get your name on the list for entry, just in case as it's limited seating. A very unique experience, great for a date night ☺️

Best books & best live jazz. A San Francisco staple. The whole operation is run by Eric. One of the nicest human beings you will ever encounter.

Is it unfair to rate a bookstore that I've only visited after hours? Not if it's to review world-class jazz at said bookstore! My wife & I saw the Joe McKinley quartet last week and it was a fantastic experience. As a band, you have to be tight if you're going to play in a bookstore because the acoustics are so intimate. No reverb to cover up mistakes, and these guys were top-notch. They played some standards and some originals, and it was all great stuff.

My favorite little bookstore in SF....we must keep these dinosaurs alive!!!
I used to live in Joost Ave so could easily attend multiple events happening at B & B, but taking Bart from Berkeley is well worth the effort:)

I am a seasoned bookstore tourist. I have never had such a transcendental hour at a bookstore. They have an expertly balanced selection of old friends and new discoveries all organized in a perfect orientation for extended browsing while live music enhances the atmosphere. Live music! Shelves not overcrowded but still pleasantly abundant, with mysterious extra piles in little corners. Brilliant and effective - will transport you entirely.
