Way better food than I expected for a bookstore!! Def recommend getting having a French Soda, they're fun and yummy. We were lucky to be there during a trivia night so that was cool. Service was friendly :)
Experience: I enjoyed visiting Kramers Bookstore. Check this out: clean, dog friendly, full bar and restaurant with patio for your pup and an escape room. So come cuddle with your furry friend while you read a book with a glass of wine. Now you can really work remotely and "drink on the job" Food: I had the mushroom ravioli and the champagne salad. The ravioli was really flavorful on the inside but the sauce could've used some more salt. My friend had the ALL Day burger and BBQ fries and she demolished it and a table near u... read more
Food was great, ambiance was comforting as usual, and service tied everything together thanks to Thomas!
The book selection is great but the staff don't seem to know much about their own inventory. They seem more preoccupied by how cool they are. There's a stark difference in the service you get depending on whether a staff member perceives you to be a part of their clique. For local business, it really doesn't have that neighborhood vibe in the bookstore. The bar has great cocktails and nice service. The restaurant is not a place I'd recommend, especially given all the other options in the area, but the service is decent.

A part of DC history. And a fun and interesting spot full of fascinating characters, both in the volumes for sale and those crawling up the aisles or deep in conversations in the cafe.
Great vibe, bar tenders are cool, lots of books! Anywhere with books and great food and I'm in. I the French toast is
Went to brunch around noon without a reservation and didn't have to wait too long. We were able to get a table outside without a fuss. Service was good but the food was only okay. Good location for people watching.

Fun bookstore with great food too! Their brunch is delicious (I enjoy their eggs Benedict) and their greenhouse style interior is very chic. I also think the bar is highly underrated. There's almost always available seating and it's perfect vibes for happy hour or a first date. Unfussy, good-quality cocktails with an impressive liquor selection.
What could be better than books, food and cocktails all in one location? We were in DC for the weekend and were wandering around Dupint Circle and decided to check out Kramer's for happy hour. It's a bookstore with a kitchen and bar. We just stuck with cocktails. Our bartender was great and super talented. I had one of the best Pimm's Cups I'd ever tried though the other two cocktails I had were just as delicious. Hubby's Manhattan was also delcious and perfectly made. It wasn't super busy around 3pm. I love that they also h... read more
