About Pike & Prose

Welcome to Pike & Prose! 🗺️✨

We are a Bethesda / North Bethesda book club dedicated to escaping reality through Romantasy, Fantasy, and Romance. If your favorite tropes include enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, forced proximity, and morally gray characters with a heart of gold, you have found your people.True to our name, we meet monthly at Pike & Rose on the last Saturday of every month to grab drinks, dish about our latest fictional obsessions, and debate whether we are actually reading for the plot. Whether you are a veteran high-fantasy world-building fan, just here for the pure spice or just starting your reading journey, all local readers are welcome!

📍 Location: Pike & Rose (North Bethesda, MD) – In-person monthly meetups at local cafes, restaurants, and outdoor spots.
📅 Frequency: The last Saturday of every month
📚 What We Read: Romantasy, High Fantasy, Contemporary Romance, & Paranormal Romance.
