Join our ~NEW~ Books and Bourbon Book Club!
Bay Books is proud to be partnering with our neighbors at Northern Latitudes Distillery to offer a unique opportunity for exploring excellent literature by Michigan authors, while enjoying Michigan-made craft spirits. Let’s read and drink LOCAL!
Meetings will be held on the last Thursday of each month (unless otherwise announced) at the new Northern Latitudes Distillery (7150 E Duck Lake Rd, Lake Leelanau) in the Production Observation Room. Book Club cocktail specials will be offered at each meeting, along with a variety of mocktail and coffee/tea options.

Upcoming Meeting: July 29th, 2026
5:00-5:30pm — Arrival, grab your cocktail/mocktail of choice (NLD offers $2 off any drink for Book Club members!) and order any food you may want to snack on.
5:30-6:30pm — Dan will give a short talk on a featured NLD spirit and then we will jump into book discussion and any questions for the author.
