Great space, but unless you bring your own players, there is little oversight or matchmaking.

This is the type of third spaces that we need more of! And the prices for food and drinks aren't overblown

Mishaaargh !

This is my go to spot in SJ I'm all about it :) The staff are the cherry on top everyone is super nice and happy to help!

My fav deal is getting a free hour on the computers when you buy a drink. It's the #1 thing keeping me coming back and bringing friends along too! :)) My second favorite are decent sized snacks/food for the price and free board games for entertainment. I was very pleasantly surprised by the chips/onion dip platter for $7. Great deal and great environment :)

Waited for an hour in the line for entrance before the show and then they said that they are at capacity and not letting anyone in. Horrible. There are at least 200 people in the line. Need to give us the money back

Great place for a lot of things. We went in for an art gallery event and end up staying longer having something to eat and playing a board game. It was missing some pieces (sad, people should take care of them), but still possible to play so very fun.
The staff very friendly and the outfits on point. Drinks very good. Very cool event as well.
We could see a lot of people having fun in different ways and that was very cool too. Definitely coming back.

This is a great place to hang out and play games! Yes, games! All kinds of games, board games, video games, you make it. You can bring your own game or console and just play. They have board games you can borrow or you can rent their video games or PCs to...yes, PLAY. Pretty cool place!

They told me to get out of the bar and called security on me for using a legitimate real iD. Horrible customer service, do not recommend coming here if you want to be treated with respect.

I came here for the first time and I didn't know how to use the computers. Kayla when above and beyond to help me get logged in and start playing! Thank you so much to Kayla for all the help. I will be returning to Guildhouse :)

Parking is street parking or paid lot parking (~$7).

It was a bit loud but there were a lot of different games to choose from. Staff were friendly. We went on a Wed night and it wasn't completely full but full enough to be loud. There were many large monitors that showed MomoCon? and streamers playing smash. People playing smash and TCGs on the main floor, and rows of PCs in the parlor. The parlor was a bit loud as using voicechat had a lot of background noise.

I liked how they included a free hour of gameplay if you purchase a drink. (cant remember if it was food/drink) I ordered the lavendar lemonade. (A bit sad that the mocktails didn't also have a nerdy pun name)

I have been attending this bar since I first heard about it 4 years ago. Best part about it is that it's a gaming lounge and bar so you can go in when you're 18 and hang out after a convention and play games with your friends but can't go to the bar until you're 21+. It really feels like a home away from home and the community there is AMAZING! They do events like Keyboard swap meets, MTG and fighting game tournaments, people are always playing DND there, and recently they've been doing raves there as well with some AMAZING production! The staff there are all super friendly and definitely keep me wanting to come back! The food while good, is mostly small bites, bar snacks, and sandwiches which are of a good quality don't get me wrong, but sometimes I want more than just a sandwich for a meal xD but overall great place, staff, vibes, community, drinks, and food!
