First Draft Book Bar

Located inside Changing Hands Bookstore, First Draft Book Bar serves a versatile drink menu featuring coffee, mocktails, and alcoholic beverages. The space includes a comfortable lounge area behind the bar specifically set up for reading, studying, and working.

Commenters adore the bookstore and bar pairing, frequently highlighting it as a premier community space for book clubs, author events, and drinks. While reviewers also recommend the Tempe store and adjacent dining options, some point out that the Phoenix location can get uncomfortably warm inside.
