Joseph-Beth Booksellers

Beautiful and full book/gift shop! We spent hours in there browsing everywhere. Nice bistro as well. Good prices, lots of genres, and lots of places to sit which is great. There’s also a baby changing station in the restroom. Love this place and will be back!

Joseph-Beth is a fantastic local bookstore, and Lexington is lucky to have it. Nobody does a better job supporting local readers and writers. The booksellers are the best, and the location itself is visually stunning. It's connected with a cafe and coffee shop with scenic views of a pond! Check it out!

Always a great evening when I get to have dinner and go to Joseph Beth Booksellers after. I grew up as a kid with my dad taking me to my hometown’s Barnes and Noble after we would eat out on a friday night. This is giving me all those fuzzy memories and more. (I have my own money now and can buy coffee too!) I LOVE that they bring local Kentucky authors in to speak and sign books. I have so many personalized, hardcover copies from authors whom I adore and was able to speak to and shake hands with. (Hello Silas House!) I’m so grateful for their creative events as well. Seemingly a very creative team behind this book selling institution.

Great indie bookstore in a strip mall atmosphere . It's airey and suburbany, in this case, contents are what matter. Although there aren't squeaky wood floors and brick walls, there's a great book selection with plenty of nooks and seating to delve into the books. Nice selection of gifts throughout, which are arranged by vendor and interest. A fantastic spot to spend some time. Definitely recommend.

Went in at 8:30 wanted something quick since they close at 9. Asked hostess the quickest food they could serve, she suggested soup I agreed I was fine with that. My server came over and informed me they had closed the kitchen and they could not serve me. Called manager next day inquiring latest to call me in to be served, explained of prior night at J.B.B. She informed me they should not have done. " usually up to 8:40".

This is hands down one of the best bookstores I’ve ever visited. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but you definitely get your money’s worth. I love the cozy stands, the little café, and the overall decor. You can even sit by the fire and enjoy a good book. The kids’ section downstairs is fantastic too. It’s definitely a must-see! I also love the collection of autographed books—they’re such a unique find. And the spicy labels in the romance section? Perfect for those who love a bit of heat in their reading, offering a peek into how intense the books are before committing.

Truly the most beautiful bookstore I’ve ever seen. Excellent selection, very kid friendly atmosphere and equipped woth kids’ zone with play stations.
