Busboys and Poets - Shirlington

Inside is our Busboys and Poets Books bookstore, inviting bar, and two event spaces. The Robeson Room, named after 20th-century renaissance man Paul Robeson, is the larger of the two, seating about 80 people, and where open mics, author events, and higher-attendance happenings take place. The smaller events space Paul’s Den seats about 40 people. Paul’s Den hosts our monthly book club and private gatherings. We’re lucky to be neighbors with other arts and literary institutions, like Shirlington Public Library and Signature Theatre.   Check out our amazing event space: https://www.flickr.com/photos/busboysandpoetsphotos/sets/72157628831177345/
