Such a fun concept - a great spot to sample a wide variety of games and they even sort them out so that you know a bit about what to expect. Good place to meet up with friends for an evening of entertainment. Drinks and some comfort food-style are also on offer.

This place was really cool. There were tons of options to choose from for all kinds of levels of gamers. They have classics like monopoly and more complex games like scythe or gloomhaven. There's a great list of menu options for food or drinks while you.play your games. We didn't use them but the staff offered to suggest games a few times which would be great if you want to try something new or aren't sure what you'd like. Overall it was a great experience after my first time and I will definitely be coming back. The only thing I would say that could be negative is the noise and the wait times since it was very busy (though we went on a Saturday evening).Parking: Parking was interesting since the the cafe is in Cleveland. Most of it is street parking or some paid lots. If you park further away, there is definitely free street parking in residential areas. Or you can pay to park closer on the street or in a lot.

Very much enjoy the concept.$5/person and access to their library of board games. Organized by number of players.Food was decently priced, however underwhelming. I got the tuna melt panini with a salad. The salad was very tiny.Decent selection of beers.Atmosphere was excellent. Very creative art you can tell someone spent time creating.Must find side street parking.

Delightful gaming cafe. Variety of drinks from coffee, shakes, beer, cocktails and mocktails. The excellent selection, variety and quantity of games was impressive.I was jealous, omg they have Zelda Monopoly! Local games, classics, staff picks, almost any board game you can think. I swear they have over 200 games by my eyes!Highly recommend for date night, GNO, thirsty Thursday (Erica and Michael work ?) also those relaxing weekends they have longer hours!A fun and cozy time no matter if its 2 or 6 of you!Kid-friendliness: A great space whether you are a kid or act like one still.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible easily for anyone to enjoy a game with their friends or family

Amazing place with a cool yet cozy atmosphere. Perfect place to go on a board game night with friends, family or coworkers. They have a huge collection of games and the staff will explain you how to play a game that you’ve never played before.It’s just $5/person and you can also get a membership if you are into board games! They also have monthly events that are fun to attend. Would definitely recommend for people who love board games and even for those who are new to board games!

Food and drinks were great, and they have a decent selection of games. But $5 per head to play adds up...may be better to just buy a new game yourself at that rate. Some of the games we picked showed wear and tear. I assume the funds are meant to cover that inevitability? But to be fair, I feel like a game play discount should at least be offered for those who purchase food/drinks.
The atmosphere is whimsical and the staff are very attentive with good service. However it costs $5 per person to play the board games and of all the ones we picked they were missing many pieces so we either improvised or had to try another. The tip is included in your bill and the food was okay.

Truly one of the best places I've ever visited. I would give so much to have an establishment like this in my hometown. The atmosphere, service, food, and board game selection was outstanding. One of the workers gave my husband and me great game recommendations. We can't wait to come back to Cleveland just to visit this place!

As someone who loves board games, this is the best time I've had... like... ever! Food and drinks were outstanding, atmosphere was immaculate, staff was super friendly and helpful, and we got to try board games we otherwise never would have known about. What more could you want out of a Friday night?

3 years ago, I would have given Tabletop 5 stars without question. It used to be a friendly, fun place to take game-savvy out of town guests. As of now, I'd give them 0 stars if possible.I emailed Shiva very excitedly asking about Tabletop's availability to host a rehearsal dinner in October 2024. After 2 emails, 2 voicemails/calls to her contact info (as listed on their website) and lastly a direct call to Tabletop itself where the manager Amanda kindly offered to text Shiva directly over the last 2 weeks, I have received ZERO response. Beyond unprofessional and it has ruined any good things I have to say. My only guess is Tabletop doesn't like to host private events for smaller groups (as the dinner would be around 20-25 people which is on their event minimum). Why list private event information on your website if you don't actually want to host them for the minimum group size you indicated??

I was looking for some coffee and was recommended to try this place. I was blown away. The service was amazing. I didn't have time to stick around and play any games but the atmosphere was so fun and the selection they had was great. The coffee was also really good. ?
