Fantastic food and a wide selection of games. Great place for a date night or just to hang out with friends!!

Service can be a little slow but all in all will recommend hexagon to everyone I talk too!

Honestly, there were way too many little flies that kept getting in our faces and our drinks that it ruined my first experience at Hex the other day. My friends kept raving about this place, but if they can't even keep the place free of flies, I don't think it's that great... Their games are also in such a dismal state with so many pieces missing we could barely play anything. Staff were nice and they even gave us a little discount, but because the place was so dirty, I don't wanna come back. Also just the fact some of our games were sticky... ew... I don't even wanna know...

O noble souls, who seek both sustenance and sport,
I prithee, pause thy journey and attend my tale.
For nestled in a quiet nook of cobbled street,
There lies a haven where minds and mugs do meet.

At Hexagon, not merely doth one dine,
But doth engage in battles of the wits divine.
Here, parchment boxes brim with trials and jest—
With kingdoms to conquer, and riddles to wrest.
Thine intellect shall spar, thy heart shall sing,
As pawns and pages move like whispered spring.

The brew! O, nectar born of careful hand—
Coffee dark as starless night, yet rich and grand.
With foam as light as fairy’s woven lace,
It doth kiss lips and bid the soul embrace
A stillness rare in this our weary age,
Where thought and taste share softly written page.

And lo! The fare, though humble in its name,
Was artful, warm, and worthy of acclaim.
Thy toast was crowned with eggs like golden sun,
Whilst cakes, in layers, sweetly were begun.

Yet not the drink nor dish doth make it so,
But fellowship that here doth warmly flow.
The stewards of the hall—fair hosts indeed—
Did serve with smiles and hearts well-tuned to need.
No haste, no pride, but gentle care bestowed,
As though each guest were friend from long abode.

Would I return? Aye, let the dice be cast—
For in this hall, all time goes not too fast.
Here joy is brewed, and laughter softly played,
Where strategy and sugar sweetly stayed.

Five stars I grant, as fixed as fate’s own thread,
To this fine home of game and daily bread. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The staff put us on the waitlist for a table because it was busy. Waited for an hour or so nearby and saw several groups of people leaving the place but never got a text. We decided to walk in anyways and find out that half of the place was empty. There was a line building up and we had to wait for 3 other groups to be seated before us. If we didn't walk in, I wonder if we would've gotten a table

I really like the atmosphere of this place and the vibe of it all! The servers are really nice and it feels quite cozy! I bring people here all the time for a good time and some icebreakers! Theres a lot of your popular board games but also some pretty niche ones. I get overwhelmed on how much they have every single time. Yet i still choose the most ordinary board games. They have spots for all sizes of groups and i think the price is pretty fair for the experience. Although i think the food and drinks are pretty pricey i think i fall victim to buying (esp the drinks) because it does enhance my enjoyment! Oh and also if you dont wanna play games they have seats just for the cafe :) And you can buy some board games toooooo!
