Our Story

Once upon a twisted page, in 2015, a group of friends gathered with a shared obsession: books, laughter, and wine that flowed as freely as conversation. What began as a once-a-month book club quickly spun into something bigger, stranger, and more wonderful than anyone expected.

Soon, “The Twisted Bookworm” became a refuge for those who craved more than just stories on paper. We brought in cigars, live bands, and even a clowder of cats who decided the shop belonged to them (and who were we to argue?). Our nights blurred with mystery novels, smoky jazz, red wine, and whispered debates about plot twists. We weren’t just reading stories anymore—we were living them.

Today, we are more than a book nook. We are an experience. A place where the unexpected happens: poetry slams alongside cigar tastings, authors sharing ghost stories by candlelight, or a cat curling up beside you as you sip your cabernet. The Twisted Bookworm is where community and curiosity entwine, and where every visit leaves you wondering what story you’ll walk into next.
