Named after two icons, Irish writer Samuel Beckett and jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, Bird and Beckett Books and Records delivers on both fronts. The bookstore, nestled in lovely Glen Park right off of BART, is cozy and packed with books, music and a generous and knowledgable staff. But at night - and oftentimes during the day - Bird and Beckett thumps with enough live entertainment to knock those books right off the shelves. Whether you're looking for books, music or great entertainment, Bird and Beckett Books and Records has you covered.
