The Spotty Dog Books & Ale

We carry over 10,000 new books in all categories, including a large section of unique books and toys for kids, preteens, an expanded local section, history, gardening, food & wine, G/L/B/T, and sections featuring local writers and interests. Whether you’re looking for a classic or cutting edge, we’re constantly adding new titles, so stop in to see what we have! Special ordering is always available.

Once you get past the fact that we’re a bookstore that serves beer and wine, you’ll notice (or should notice) that we don’t just serve “beer.” We have a terrific selection of twelve hand-crafted ales from many well-known and lesser-known brewers, as well as wine, tea, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Yes, we are also an art supply store (it’s in the back!). We carry everything an artist would need, for kids, beginners, students, or professionals. Some of our stock includes: Children’s art supplies and kits, all drawing supplies, pastels, oil paints, watercolor, acrylic, and tempera, canvas, brushes, sketchbooks, and much more.
