Saturday, September 12, 2026, 11:00 PM - 2:00 AM · The Twisted Spine, Williamsburg, New York City
The Twisted Spine marks its first anniversary with a weekend-long celebration on September 12 and 13. The bookshop bar opened one year ago and is inviting readers, writers, and regulars back to mark the milestone.
A gothic library disguised as a bar, with shelves of horror novels climbing the walls, a fireplace throwing shadows, and a back patio dotted with cheeky tombstones. By day it runs on Devoción espresso and pastries; by night, it shifts into a wine-and-beer hideout under blackened beams. Williamsburg’s newest den for readers, creeps, and the merely curious.
