AMBIENCE GALORE, WITHOUT THE DIGITAL GLOW

If you're really into taking your screen into a coffee shop and staring at it while you sip your triple pumpkin latte with eggnog foam, this gift card is not for you.  But if you are really into connecting to books and food and music, listen up.  Here is a $25 gift card to the one-of-a-kind Portsmouth Book and Bar.  This place is awesome.  Three booksellers and a chef turned the renowned Custom House into a gathering place like no other.  Listen to readings and music.  Attend interesting events.  Browse the shelves for titles of every genre, carefully chosen by people who believe in books.  Try the craft beer or the small plates.  It's civilized.  It's good.  Turn off your screen and turn on to this special place.
