I loved the guild-based drink options, the dimir drink was perfect. Great place for a date or to play a card game tournament. Queer friendly. Will be back to draft one day i hope

So many choices! Great place to celebrate a birthday playing games (and escaping the heat in AC). We will definitely be back! The staff is super friendly and accommodating!

My family and I were able to get a table and buy some drinks and spend several hours playing games. We played Ticket to Ride, Guess Who, and Cards Against Humanity. The staff was also helpful with their beer recommendations as I was unfamiliar with the brands and drinks. The vibe was great, lots of people taking time to play with friends and enjoy their Sunday night. It is a great spot to meet up and enjoy spending time with your friends!
Not wanting to travel all the way to Brooklyn, you would not believe my shock when I discovered a board game café in Midtown Manhattan! After paying, you and your friends can eat (cost separate) and play for up to 3 hours! They have tons of classics such as CATAN, Sorry, Candy Land, and Taboo. However, they also have unique and uncommon games such as Haiclue, Daybreak, and Telestrations.
My advice: definitely come early! Tables and seats are limited to a first-come-first-serve basis. You should also plan ahead of what you want to do. Some of these games take an hour or two, while others are fast a couple of minutes. Nonetheless, have fun and check out their shop section where you can buy some of the games too.

You need a reservation - and that wasn’t made clear when I spoke to them on the phone. Also you need to go in person to get on the waitlist if you don’t make a reservation first.

This place is a true NY gem! I had previously visited but completely forgot to share my experience. As I was passing by through the neighborhood and had some time to spare I went in and Cooper took care of me. He had helped me pick this awesome game for a Friendsgiving and this time I had to thank him for guiding me with that choice. This place has any board game you could think of and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Please visit and bring friends to share yummy snacks and possibly challenge those friendships 😅
