Peabody Bookshop and Beer Stube, Literary venue and beer cellar in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, United States.
The building at 913 North Charles Street combined a bookstore with a basement bar featuring wooden tables, mounted animal heads, and a piano.
Austrian immigrant brothers Hugo and Siegfried Weisberger established the bookshop in 1922, adding the beer cellar after Prohibition ended in 1933.
The establishment hosted regular evening entertainment, including magic shows by Dantini the Magnificent, poetry readings, and musical performances at communal tables.
The venue maintained separate spaces for book browsing and beer consumption, with an additional bar added to the upper floor during the 1970s.
Patrons carved their names into wooden tables while notable figures like H.L. Mencken engaged in literary discussions over German sausages and beer.
