The Lit. Bar is an independent bookstore and wine bar located in the Bronx, NY, and is the only indie bookstore in the entire borough, which is home to 1.4 million people and 10 colleges. Founded by Bronx native Nolle Santos, the establishment aims to create a sustainable and accessible bookshop that reflects and serves the unique needs of its community.

Opened on April 27, 2019, The Lit. Bar emerged from a grassroots effort to save the last existing bookstore in the Bronx, highlighting the area's significant literary demand. This vibrant space not only offers a curated selection of books but also fosters a sense of community through various experiences and events.
