Sure, you can celebrate World Book Day the scholarly way. Or you could raise a glass to the great authors of our time at Holborn’s Bloomsbury Club Bar… for free!

That’s right, guests who bring a paperback book along to the bar will see their read exchanged for a literature-inspired cocktail.

Five drinks on the list for World Book Day are inspired by famous authors and poets and include a Gin Rickey, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s favourite drink, and an absinthe-based cocktail in honour of Oscar Wilde.
