We have a few tables left for silent book club tomorow!

Bring your book or your e-reader, settle in, have a glass of amazing wine, and leave reality for a bit.

How it works:
• This is reservation only! We need to have a good headcount to make sure we have enough staff & space. Call 360-995-7080 or email [email protected] (subject heading: Read Between the Wines reservation) to get your spot! If you don't receive an email or call back, your reservation has not been confirmed.

• It is $12 per person. This is waived if you purchase food/beverage at or over $12.

• Outside food is not allowed.

• If you like, come in earlier to order food (just let us know in your reservation request).

• At 6:30, music will be lowered, whispering rather than talking will be encouraged, Stephanie will try very hard to control her booming/braying laugh, & we will even try to minimize kitchen noises for an hour.

• At 7:30, normal volume will return. You can then stay to socialize, leave, or keep reading (last call is 8:30).

21+ only please
