This place has a great atmosphere, great board game selection, and is super reasonably priced. It's $10 for as long as you want, and that includes a drink! Can't beat that! Hope they are in the neighborhood for a long time π©·

The food was so much better than I expected honestly. I'm sorry that this sounds like a slam to the place but from the pictures I figured the food would be low effort and quality. It was actually pretty good for what you paid. The server is also the front desk person and I believe also making the food but the person who was there on a day that we went was attentive and the food came out quickly. They have a good selection of games to play but of course you can always bring your own. I brought one that is usually not available and places like this and then we played some that they had available and it was fun. The only other customers were a table of three people and it was a very chill and fun atmosphere. Queer friendly. There is a $10 gameplay fee even if you bring your own games, but it's worth it to me to pay that because I love having places like this in my neighborhood. It's mostly disability friendly although the sink in the bathroom is a little high. The lights are track lighting and if that is an issue with you (light sensitivity) that's something to keep in mind. I would have been fine if I had just a baseball cap on to block out the direct lighting. Overall a great v

I didn't get to try the food here, but I love that they have an espresso machine and milkshakes. Such a great place to hang out and play games with friends!

Fantastic spot to discover new games or play favorites with friends! Their collection is huge with a great diversity of game types/sizes, and the cover charge is very reasonable for what you get! The food is simple but tasty, and really you're here for the games first. The service is also very attentive!
