About Zibby’s Bookshop

Zibby’s Bookshop is the quintessential indie bookstore experience with locations in Santa Monica, CA, and a pop-up-turned-permanent display in New York City. Known for intimate author events, live podcast recordings, and engaging book clubs, Zibby’s brings readers and creators together in welcoming spaces. Our team is here to help you secure seats for upcoming events, understand seating options, and plan your visit with convenient transit and nearby lodging and dining choices.

Santa Monica’s flagship store at 1113 Montana Ave offers a compact, intimate setting ideal for close-up conversations with authors and creators. The NYC pop-up, established in the Upper East Side inside Minnie Rose, has evolved into a permanent display with a cozy corner nook perfect for live discussions and book club sessions. Whether you’re in Southern California or New York City, Zibby’s provides a thoughtful, no-fuss venue experience.

Parking options vary by location. In Santa Monica, metered street parking and nearby structures are common, with public Downtown Santa Monica parking information available online. For transit, the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus serves the Montana Ave corridor, and local lines offer straightforward routes to both the Santa Monica store and related venues. If you’re planning a visit from out of town, we’ve got you covered with trusted affiliate recommendations for nearby hotels like Fairmont Miramar, The Georgian, and Santa Monica Proper, all within a comfortable stroll or short ride. The NYC pop-up at Minnie Rose is accessible via local NYC transit routes, with nearby lodging options recommended for guests attending live events or book club gatherings. We’ll help you secure your seats for events and point you toward convenient, reliable places to stay and eat along the way.

Seating at Zibby’s venues is not published with a formal seating chart. The Santa Monica shop emphasizes an intimate layout, while the NYC pop-up features a small nook within Minnie Rose. If you’re seeking the best spots near a reading or podcast, we’ll guide you to the most suitable seating options at the time of your event.
