I like to think of myself as a bit of a book connoisseur — okay, more like a full-blown book devourer. When you’re clocking in at nearly 120 books a year, that’s not just a hobby, that’s a literary lifestyle (and yes, I will absolutely brag about it). Now, my bookish dreams are getting a major upgrade with the arrival of Bibliobar, an independent bookstore that’s basically my happy place in the making.
Technically, Bibliobar is already slinging everything from the internet-obsessed Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros to those kids’ books written by celebrities. But the real celebration kicks off on April 26, 2025, with their official grand opening — and yes, I’m already planning my outfit.
What Bibliobar Will Sell
According to the Dallas Observer , Bibliobar started as an online and pop-up bookshop, setting up shop at coffee shops and breweries since 2017. In 2023, it found a home in the Plano Shopping Co-Op in downtown Plano, where she sold books on the second floor. Though the co-op closed in April 2024, Bibliobar is back and better than ever — this time with its very own storefront. The shop will be located at 1018 E 15th St, Plano.
Bibliobar has all the BookTok bestsellers, debut novels from local indie authors, and a treasure trove of children’s books. However, the focus here is on women and children — so sorry, fellas, no macho-man self-help or bodybuilding books. But who knows? You might just discover a new love for romance novels!
Beyond The Books
In addition to offering books and book-themed gifts, Bibliobar will host a variety of events including author readings, wine tastings, game nights and book clubs for all ages. Whether you’re looking for a fun outing with the ladies, a playdate with the kids, a game night with friends, or an afternoon with the whole family, this will be your new favorite spot…
