Old Lion Bookstore-Cafe

The Stary Lev Publishing bookstore-café at !FESTrepublic is a bookshop with a coffee bar right inside the creative cluster at 24-26 Staroznesenska St., on the same site as the publisher's head office. It carries the full Old Lion Publishing House range — illustrated children's books, contemporary Ukrainian and translated fiction, non-fiction and gift editions — and serves coffee, with seating where you can settle in and read. It pairs naturally with the rest of !FESTrepublic: lunch at Rebernia or Trapezna, then books and coffee next door. The space also hosts the publisher's book events. It is one of several Stary Lev bookstore-cafés in Lviv.
