Offline Board Game Cafe

Absolutely amazing place! The service was fast and incredibly friendly. The food can take a while, but it's fresh and made to order, so it's far worth the wait. The drinks menu was fun and delicious, and the moment I stepped in the door I felt at home!

The use of indicators to show when you need a waiter is incredibly good, and very neurodivergent friendly. Will be coming back for sure!

Offline Board Game Cafe is very accommodating! I’ve been coming here just about every Friday for the last 8 months for book club. I went vegan in March and they were able to offer me a selection of vegan options! It’s very much appreciated and the vegan options are delicious.

The non-vegan options were also great, when I had them previously. I love the rotating cocktail menu and different options for craft beer.

Not only have I visited for book club, but I’ve also attended trivia and just to hang out and play board games. The atmosphere is great! The staff are lovely!

Judgmental and biased staff and owners. Even the place is rated as kids friendly , but they need to learn how to accommodate kids energy without verbally abusing them and their families.

Great staff and fun atmosphere for an evening with friends! TONS of boardgame selection. Can't recommend the sweet and salty bowl enough! ?

Have never had a bad experience in any of the locations I’ve followed this business to, from Rothesay Avenue, to Uptown, to Parkway Mall. Always have top notch staff, and always a great night out with friends. It’s nice to not have to crowd around a small uncomfortable kitchen table to have an enjoyable night of board games.

Absolutely lovely people, great service. Busy trivia nights so reserve your tables early. Huge game selection and help you learn if you are new to a game. Incredibly supportive of the gaming community!

We booked a birthday for our 4 year old. Which they said was great and we welcome young kids. Who were not aloud to make any noise or leave their small room. We're not aloud the bring in candy or any drinks for the party. They said they would provide pizza and treats. Gave us one bowl of terrible popcorn mixed with other weird stuff all in one bowl for a 15 kid plus parent party. Waited till the last 20 mins to serve us and then rushed us out when literally no one was in the establishment. I wpuld never do an other party there and wouldn't recommend anyone to either. Was supposed to provide a guide for the leap party to help with building and showing the kids some games. It was a very young teenager who was sacred to talk and definitely not the one who should be tasked with that. All around they helped make our already stressful party with getting everything done and make sure it goes good 10 times worse

Love going with my kid and as a girls night out.

Rude staff, over priced frozen food from Costco cooked in an air fryer, and sections of board games were very messy and unkept. The beverages, while over priced, were delicious. This was my all time favourite place when located uptown and on Rothesay Ave. Sad to see the environemnt brought on by the knowledgeable and friendly staff is no longer a value.

Awesome place to play games or plan a night out with friends. Many activities to attend. Trivia is definitely one of the best around!

My son had his birthday party there with Maritime Foam (nerf guns) and everyone loved it. While the party guests were busy shooting each other, my older son and I played board game that we love. The staff were excellent...very friendly, very helpful and very attentive. My only complaint was that some of the boys didn't like the pizza. It was OK but could have been much better. Overall a fantastic party experience and would go there again.
