Join us at Slabtown Square for Silent Book Club - a gathering where we read quietly together; no pressure, just good books and good vibes. In summer we may bask in the open public square; in the rainy season we may move to our private library. Join us!

Check out our Eventbrite for details about upcoming meetups.

Our intention in hosting a Silent Book Club is to have avid readers meet once a month on site at Novel Book Bar and Cafe in Portland, ME so that they can grab a coffee or a cocktail, kick back with their favorite book, and enjoy our space. We have had locals ask if Novel will be offering a book club to our clients, and this will be a fantastic way to bring those people in as well as folks who are new to the area, looking to make friends, or just want a change of scenery.

Check out Novel Book Bar & Cafe for more information about our upcoming meetups.

Silent Book Club Portland is like happy hour for introverts! We meet once a month at Blind Tiger Guest House and Gathering Space in the West End. We enjoy snacks and cocktails (byob), then have some silent reading time and finish up with discussions.

People of all walks of life are encouraged to join! Silent Book Club Portland is a great way to meet new people, exchange recommendations and treat yourself to some self care in a beautiful space.

Join us every second Wednesday of each month at Leikam Brewing, located at 5812 East Burnside.

Bring your current read or grab one of the shelves in the back and join others reading… silently. 6:30 grab a drink and chat, 7-8 read. 8pm on, connect with other bibliophiles.

You are also welcome to bring books to add to our free library. Questions? Email us at info@leikambrewing.com or check our Instagram.
