Dillon ChenJanuari 9, 2015If you like to browse your books late at night, this is the place to go. Open till midnight. Staff is super helpful, they don't turn to a computer straight away to find something.Suara positif 10 Nov 2024
SavoteurAgustus 2, 2016City Lights is a can't-miss for its historic past. The bookstore and non-profit publisher focuses on progressive works and printed locally authored collections like Allen Ginsberg's famous Howl. Baca selanjutnya

Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017Very special, old bookstore. Be sure to spend your time downstairs: it's roomier, not rushed, and have very interesting material. In the post-bookstore era, this one reminds you how great they can be.
Anna K.Maret 16, 2016Independent bookstore-publisher est. 1953 and became widely known after publishing Allen Ginsberg in 1956. Today, you can buy all kinds of books here.
Brian StraussAgustus 14, 2016A legend still doing high volume. Fun to see that they can assert a strong literary perspective in their recommendations and staff picks offline, in today's best seller, Amazon universe.
Dean MoriartyFebruari 7, 2017If your looking for something new, hip or different. If you're lost and looking for a bible that's significant towards the development of your personal mythology..look no further.
Sravanti TekumallaJuli 9, 2018The loveliest bookstore in SF. The gems are in the nooks and crannies. Very extensive non-fiction section with place to sit downstairs.
Liza PNovember 15, 2015The best book store in the world! Legendary place, and the people who work here actually read. Always ask for recommendations.
robb wongJuni 24, 2013Parada obligatoria en el tour literario de San Francisco. Después de estar viendo los libros, vale la pena tomarse una cerveza enfrente, en el bar Vesuvio, lugar al q solían ir Kerouac y los beatniks
Shawn CalhounOktober 24, 2018The best bookstore in The City! Be sure to make it upstairs to the poetry section.
KaitlinMaret 7, 2017A charming, expansive store! Great selection of fiction, political works, literary magazines, and poetry -- plus friendly, helpful staff.

Allison AbbottJuni 29, 2015Not as funky as I would have imagined it to be, but great selection (and obviously a worthwhile landmark for any lover of books or beatniks) nonetheless
Bobak EsfandiariFebruari 17, 2016Support excellent and civic minded bookstores! This is the beating heart of our first amendment.
Juliana SaaOktober 7, 2019Un lugar lleno de nostalgia y buena literatura. Caminar por Culumbus St., tomarte un trago en el Vesuvio y luego ir a la biblioteca.
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013This place is fantastic in its selection of books, historical significance and proximity to the Beat Museum! Worth the trip to visit.
KarenJanuari 14, 2023Has a good amount of literary works. Three floors total. Take your time and browse.
.:. sAgustus 13, 2015You can feel the history of this place as you go down each and every row of books. Do you like books? You have to check it out.

MartinaJuni 6, 2019OMG. Absolutely worth it for beat generation fans. I totally love this bookstore. I need back.
Rodrigo KanayamaJanuari 22, 2015Excelente livraria. Muita variedade, bons títulos e ótima classificação. Melhor que as grandes redes, com certeza.
Jonathan DiazJuli 19, 2015So much history here. Go up to the poetry section and check out all the posters from Beat authors on the wall
Henna Abbas MerchantJuli 7, 2016One of my favorites!! They're open late, making city lights a great place to hang out after a few drinks :)
Bookstores don't get any better than this! Founded in San Francisco in 1953 during the Beat Era, it contains three floors of books, all housed in an historic building.
Robert HawkinsJuli 7, 2015This is one of the most expertly curated bookstores I've ever been to. Long after the Beat Generation faded, Ferlinghetti's voice is strong.
SEGAJanuari 5, 2012An integral part of SF's beatnik history. The original publishers of Howl, they have a great beatnik section as well as other great books. - Kellie, Community Manager
No public bathroom. The science fiction section is small and at the very back of the basement. They have great graphic novels. :)- J TNovember 13, 2018Come here for the books and for a slice of history. Also check out the room on the second floor for events.
squeaselOktober 8, 2014Any bookstore where you can shop till midnight, and catch Daniel Handler in a fez playing the accordion, cannot be a bad bookstore.
Angie HarmonJanuari 9, 2016Extremely interesting book curation here. Really very unique in what it stocks, even among independent bookstores.
Tiana DangerApril 23, 2015This place is magical. Get lost in it. And take a flick by the door- you'll know which one when you see it 😉
SarahSeptember 15, 2014Amazing bookstore with a well-curated selection. Love the poetry section upstairs.

Priscilla BulnesFebruari 22, 2016Legendaria librería, no dejes de visitar el Poetry Room y su sección de Literatura Beat.
Jon TerryJuni 8, 2016An absolute treasure! Don't forget to see the poetry and beat section upstairs.
Ellie PinesMaret 3, 2013I wish I never had to leave this beautiful three story bookstore! It feels like taking a step back in time whenever you go in!
melMei 28, 2015Pequeña, atiborrada de libros, con gran variedad... ¡perfecta! además de tener su propia editorial publicando escritores locales
Secil SansevenJuli 7, 2016They have very nice people working and interesting walls. I liked the downstairs the most.
Go to the third floor and find a copy of Ginsberg's "Howl" - the book that embroiled City Lights in an obscenity trial. Sit in the Poet's Chair and read it from start to finish.
Jonathan KramerAgustus 15, 2014Exactly what you want from an independent bookstore. It's quiet, has charm and a good selection.
Paul FarrellOktober 13, 2015Sure it is of historical significance, but don't lose sight of the fact that it is a cracking bookstore
Francois PichardAgustus 1, 2012Baladez vous dans les étages et les rayons de cette boutique culte ; vous pouvez même en profiter pr acheter un livre (soyons fou ;) )
