"This is one of my favorite bookstores PERIOD. Located in the historic town of Kingston (New York's original capital), the whole area is oozing charm and Rough Draft Bar & Books is no exception. The only thing I like better than browsing a bookstore is browsing a book store with a beer (or one of their super fun rotating coffee specials!). No notes. I highly recommend!"
"What an amazing bookstore and pub and Cafe! On the historic and famous Kingston four corners, Rough Draft is a delight when you can sit, open a book or three and enjoy a coffee, some pastries or a beer."
"What a gem of a place! A must visit for any book lovers. Great selection of drinks for very fair prices, whether alcoholic or coffee/tea. Everything that I've tried is absolutely delicious. Wonderful selection of books of all genres as well. It's fun to just take time to browse around. Large variety, but not so much to be overwhelming. Good amount of seating, but this place can get pretty busy depending on when you go."
"Look we just walked in looked around and left. Not because we didn't like we did we just didn't have the time. Only had time to check out the four corners. It looked like a fun place. Mixed age of clientele. Nice menu and books and beer what could be better."
