BEWARE WHEN ORDERING ONLINE **SCAM***I ordered 2 books from here that were never sent. After a huge go around and trying for 3 days to reach someone I managed to get my order canceled. Now today my card was charged for the same amount... not sure what games they're playing or if they thought I wouldn't notice but this is blatant fraud.Don't waste your money or time, find another place to buy from. Trust me it'll save you loads of stress and money.

I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in. Nice sized place with a diverse selection of books. I got a drink from the bar in the back which I think all bookstores should have. I didn't stay very long but Ill bet the events they host are fun.

Atomic Books is the famous eclectic bookstore in Hampden, and it is a treasure trove of weird books and magazines. They have an unparalleled selection of graphic novels, and the odd assortment of pop culture knickknacks making this the perfect place to do some shopping for gifts for that special oddball in your life. Be sure to ask about their Big Spender card for returning customers. They have a bar in the back, which is a really neat idea but I have never once been there when the bar itself was open. Wish it was open whenever the store was.

This is actually a review of Eightbar, more so than a review of the shop. Yes, Atomic Books is a comic book store. Yes, they have a cozy little lounge. No, not a bookstore with coffee, but a comic book store with a bar. Yes, a bar - with wine, cider, and great choices for beer.Adrienne - I'm not sure that's how you spell it - is fantastic. I went on April's first Friday - the first Friday in the month - and she held down the rush like none other. On this particular Friday, they had a Coney Island Brewery takeover.I started with the hard rootbeer - for no good reason. It was exactly what I expected - sweet, just like rootbeer. Adrienne served it over ice, which helped. Whew! what was I thinking? Clearly, I wasn't because my next drink (which was after 7 when the even started) earned me this fancy mug. And in true fashion, I wanted to try everything so I tried the Hard Orange Creme Ale. Thank goodness my friends joined me and helped me finish it. That was it for me and beer.This place has some decent wine choices - given the size. I started with a rosé from California, which was fine, but this Pinot was much better - even though it came in a can - almost three glasses worth. Perfect for sharing.Check this place out next time you are looking for a cute and relaxing spot. Just a note, you have to buy the books and then you can bring them in the lounge; they also don't let you bring the drinks into the store. Probably a good plan, given how clumsy I am.

With just a quick trip through Baltimore, this was the perfect place to take a reading break. There’s a huge selection of comics and graphic novels in this quirky, pint-sized bookstore. There was an excellent selection of cookbooks to keep me busy. If you have younger kids, be aware that there may be some inappropriate content for younger kids in the store.
