My husband and I visited The Forge Tavern and were blown away! The art work outside prepares you for the atmosphere you get inside...a whimsical fantasy tavern with absolute class and fun! Connor served us, and kept us FULLY entertained. It's wonderful to see a passion and a job come together! There is a good variety of board games to play, and you can bring your own as well! The drink selection is extensive, and they have mocktails! We both enjoyed our drinks and the pretzel bites. They have a cool merch section as well!We couldn't stick around for long but we will DEFINITELY be back!

My wife and I have gone to the tavern on 3 occasions now for date nights for a few hours. Every visit has been fun and special. Drink menus are creative and have a good selection of options. Food is tasty. The food menu is not extensive, but if you spot something it is worth getting to pair with the experience. Parking is difficult bit we have been able to get a spot. Game selection is great and you can bring games also. Staff is very friendly, approachable, kind and helpful if you have food or game questions.Parking: Lot is only accessible from the eastbound lanes on Bethel Road. We've been lucky and there's roughly 1 spot available to park. Lot is shared with another business as well.

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is astounding, great service. SO many games to choose from. I wish I could come at lunch time (but alas, they are only open for dinner). Only thing that could be improved is the food. It was mediocre at best. But since Im used to meh food while playing games with friends, its the lowest priority. (Tho I definitely wouldnt come here FOR the food).

When you go to a bar, you are normally looking to socialize with friends and watch sports, chat with friends, and have some good food/drink. This place was for board games and it was great fun. I did not know there are a lot of games out there beyond the classics. It was a great time having some craft drinks/beers, very good food, and spending time with friends.

The coolest gaming tavern in Cbus. Great atmosphere, yummy food with vegetarian/vegan options, incredible drink choices, and creative and fun special events. Say "Hi" to Smithy for me! IYKYK ;)

I kid you not, I was asked to leave the restaurant because a manager said I was not allowed to have a water bottle in the establishment. I explained it was water (as evidenced by my clear water bottle) and he said it was “against the liquor permit” …water. I asked if he’d be comfortable dumping the water and refilling it with water from the restaurant and he said “no, it is against the law.” I just—the level of sheer stupidity I really cannot ????Parking: also no parking

Nice place in a busy area. Be sure to get there ahead of time to get your parking figured out. Inside, the ceiling and walls are dark painted and so it’s not bright inside compared to Tabletop cafe. Variety of games are available but I’m not sure how it compares to Tabletop cafe. I’d definitely go back there again. Service was good too

Great service and great atmosphere.Came her to play some board games and drink some mead. Staff was very friendly and eager to answer any questions. Many groups of people playing and having fun.Can't wait to come back with a group of friend soon.
If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing place to hang out that has great service, The Forge Tavern is for you. My friends and I have dubbed it our new go-to place.

Love the Forge! Good food and great drinks! The staff is amazing, and there is no better place to go play table top games with your friends/family. Their game library is huge! Go check it out if you get the chance.

Great place to drink, hang out with friends, and play some board games. They have a VERY wide selection of games to choose from.
