There’s a huge choice of games here, which just means that we will definitely have to come back in the near future… I do believe they’d be something for everyone here, and the time passes so quickly, which just shows how much fun it was.

Loved this place.. it was such a lovely atmosphere, and the waiters are so nice and considerate. They helped recommend games to play and got it spot on every time! I was worried that it would be a bit pubby but it wasnt it, was just a relaxed fun environment. Im definately coming back again!

Walking into the board games café, I was immediately struck by the relaxed atmosphere. The scent of delicious tacos wafted through the air, tempting my taste buds. The staff greeted me warmly, and I found a cozy spot amidst the mix of ages. As I enjoyed my meal and played games with friends, I couldn’t help but appreciate the excellent service and the inclusive environment that made the experience truly enjoyable.
