Gladys Books & Wine

Gladys is made for settling in, whether that means a book and coffee upstairs or conversation over a glass of natural wine downstairs. With a focus on Black and queer literature, Gladys' shelves are wonderfully curated, with regular in-store readings and workshops bringing them to life beyond the page. Named in honor of founder Tiffany Dockery's grandmother, the space carries forward her idea of a place where people could simply feel at home. Come for a book. Stay for a glass of wine. Venture out into the backyard. Gladys Books & Wine makes a pretty convincing case for spending the day into night.
