北京老书虫 (书虫书吧)

在这家奇特却散发着知性魅力的店里,最好的莫过于聚集在这里的人——不同年龄的人聚
集在北京“书虫”里思考、做梦、开阔思绪。而这一切都归功于“书虫”的主人:英国人亚历山
德拉·皮尔森的一双慧眼。“我来北京已超过15年了,起初来这儿是为了在中央音乐学院学
习,但我自己不过是个音乐业余爱好者。”亚历山德拉谦虚地说,“中国对我来说并不陌生,
我父母曾在英国驻华使馆工作,所以上世纪80年代我就生活在这里,直到90年代初才
回国。大概在5年前,我在北京开了这家‘书虫’。最近我和父母一起开设了另外两家分店,
一家在成都,另外一家在苏州。”

书店特色:说不清楚这里到底是一家微型图书馆还是一家可阅读的咖啡馆,因为在这里不
仅可以阅读,还可心无旁骛地吃饭,各种简餐美食和书一样让人欣然首肯,只是冷冷的不
够温暖的服务态度尚需提高。位置颇好,格调足够安静,在三里屯酒吧街里一个闹中取静
的幽闭之处,外面初看就是一个大仓库,艺术气质让人想起798。环顾四周都是以英文书为
主的外文书籍,大部分都是英文原版,所以来这里的客人80%都是老外。店藏据说已达到
16000册,来自不同的英语国家,关于中国、关于历史地理、关于文化。店内专门划分了吸
烟区和非吸烟区,装潢、氛围和文化气息都艺术另类,适合看书、上网聊天、喝咖啡、吃
简单西餐、自备电脑加班、独处、消磨时光、发呆、等人。

书虫里面有很多外文书,有些是市面上不容易买到的,客人可以在店里随意翻阅,如果办
一个借书证还可以把书借回家看。书虫很适合晚餐前的小酌,有经过精心挑选的不错的葡
萄酒,还有跟葡萄酒很相配的tapas小吃,每个月的第三个星期四,会举办ASC的品酒会,
另外还有个挺有规模的Whisky Bar,可以品尝很多种苏格兰威士忌。如果觉得餐前喝得清
淡一些,也可以点一杯叫做“Cosmopolitan”的粉红色鸡尾酒。

特别推荐:这里也可以算是一个锻炼口语和交读友的地方,少见的以英语为主导的休闲空
间,集图书馆、书店、餐吧、咖啡馆和酒吧为一体的休闲之处。一个人来看累了就吃,吃
完了随便和身边的读友聊上几句,志趣相投便惺惺相惜,话不投机也可一笑了之,继续看
书或者上网,老板的个人藏书是很多读友的兴趣之一。目前老书虫会定期组织小型音乐
会、作者讲座、书籍签售、诗歌之夜和讨论聚会等各色活动。大红沙发旁的落地灯下恍惚
的书的影子和光很有欧洲文艺沙龙的味道。办理借书证,半年期会费大概是人民币200元;
全年期会费人民币300元。还可包办私人派对、员工聚会、午餐以及外送。
