Bar Rotunda

Bar Rotunda puts you in the middle of Book Tower’s best feature: the building itself. The surroundings are beautiful, the drinks are always well made, and I usually treat it as the first stop before heading upstairs to Kamper’s. It works because the room already feels like an occasion, even if you are only there for one drink.

Have a well-made cocktail beneath the rotunda, then head upstairs to Kamper’s.

You want beautiful surroundings, a polished first drink, or an easy start to a Book Tower night.

You want a cheap pour, a dive-bar mood, or a place where the architecture stays out of the way.
