Dungeon and Dragons Bar.
Great place to play games with friends! They have a library of donated games or you can bring your own. There are larger tables for TTRPG as well. Drink options are plentiful and fun, especially the non-alcoholic options (for those strategy games where you've gotta stay sober). I have to mention the waffle fries are CRISPY. They are LGBTQ+ friendly.
Kid-friendliness: Children, babies, all ages are welcome. There's a children's menu, too.
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and there's a ramp to get on the raised area where the larger tables are

Introverted gamers- please read!
Came here for a late dinner, games, and drinks for my bestfriends birthday.. to say I was impressed would be an understatement!! This place was AMAZING, I absolutely adored every moment! The food was veeeerrryy delicious (I had a customized Mac n Cheese with bbq meat), and the drinks were very good as well (tried 3 different ones, all with nerdy names, which I adored). As an introvert, I am not usually a bar person- so I was hoping the place wouldn't be too crowded - and it wasn't! The noise level of other tables was perfect and not too overwhelming. There are lots of tables to pick from, so you don't have to be seated right next to someone, which I was amazed by. Being able to borrow games from a pretty wide selection was also a huge bonus, and we ended up trying a handful and stayed for a few hours doing so. I HIGHLY recommend going here at least once to give it a try! But definitely bring friends to play games with! 10/10

This place is just so expensive. Especially for the area. It's a good concept and a good idea but I don't think they did there research on the area and on what there doing. The appetizer prices are ridiculous and then there Mac n cheese prices are insane. They say it's because it's made in house but this is Manchester. It's not a high class area. Staff is nice enough but that doesn't really do much if the food isn't on point. If the prices are as high as they are you'd expect a good amount of food and food quality food. You get neither if you go here.

Go. It's a good place. Fried green beans were the best we've had. The trashed pizza bites were very fun (like trashed wings... but pizza bites). Lots of tables and staff that know their games and drink mixology. We dropped in on a random Thursday, but they have themed game nights most of the week.
Parking: Strip mall. Plenty of spaces in the evening.
Wheelchair accessibility: Majority of the venue is a single level. No stairs from the parking lot.

Table top gaming bar with food (mainly bar style) options. Many many tables seating groups up to 8 for gaming, have never had difficulty finding space. No cost to use the space, helpful host/hostess upon entry. Also has bar seating. Very welcoming environment.
Many drink options from beer, mead, cocktails and non alcoholic options, many with thematic names. Service is quick and friendly. Food options center on mac n cheese varieties, flat breads, two salads, pretzels, fries and a variety of other snacks. Hoping for a veggie burger option in the future.
Most people bring their games to play, but there are shelves with many table top options to choose from. They have event nights (Pokémon, D&D, trivia) for those wanting to join a group or compete table to table. We always have a great time playing and enjoying the libations.
Bathrooms could use some sprucing up, better ventilation. There seems to be a fly/gnat issue.
Overall, really fun venue. Hoping it continues to have great turn out and in time to expand its menu. (Will update review with any notable changes).
Vegetarian options: Veggie options are carb heavy aside from salads. The spinach and artichoke flatbread is my favorite, along with the jalapeño mac n cheese. Missing a veggie burger option.
Parking: Very large parking lot, always ample space.

The food & cocktails were both really good, but the prices are insane. 2 cocktails & bruschetta was 50 bucks. If they came down like 20% on pricing it would probably be 5 star.

Met up with some friends here after having played many role playing games together just to hang and eat.
They have a lot on their menu which is great. They are ver accommodating to those with dietary restrictions and I was able to get a vegan cheese mac n cheese (complete with meats and all the things I love.) I recommend checking out to play some board games or for a rousing campaign!

First off, the size of this place is so nice, and their board game selection is crazy! This is such a good place for any group size at any time they’re open. I do think the food and drinks are a little overpriced though. I had the chicken sliders and they weren’t bad by any means, but the quality is not something worth $15 in my opinion. And with cocktails, a lot of them have red wine which I’m not a huge fan of, but I know you can ask for something custom. There just needs to be more variety. The food seems very easily made, like something I can make at home. The mac and cheese seems like the best option out of all the food choices.

This is a super cool concept for a place! Drinks were amazing and so was the bartender Elizabeth. She was the highlight of the night for sure.
However (to no fault of hers) there was a mixup about closing time. She was amazing and super polite in the way she told us there was a mixup.
My ONLY issue was with the guy with the curly mustache (I couldn’t read his name tag) who I’m assuming was the closing manager of the night. He came across as very rude when it came closing time. To the point the bartender warned us he may come over and tell us to leave. He very obviously made not only her uncomfortable but us as guests as well. You shouldn’t walk up to your bartender who is working right infront of customers and say “they should be out by now.”
I couldn’t hear what he was saying to other tables but I feel he was also telling them they need to leave. (Once again I don’t know for sure but it was still noticeable)
From my experience in the service industry, you clean while your last few customers finish up. You never rush them. I understand wanting to go home and that everyone has bad days. I just feel it should be pointed out.
BESIDES HIM EVERYTHING WAS GREAT
The drinks were amazing and they had some things you can’t get a lot of places. I was able to have a drink with ingredients I was super excited to see on a menu.
