The Bard and Bear Games Cafe Hamilton

Lots of fun, great staff. Worth it!

Can get very very loud.
Server was not too friendly but seemed rather shy.
$6/person for two hours.
Limited drink option. No decaf available.
Only had chocolate cookies and rice squares for sweets.

Very tight space, overwhelmingly loud, expensive for only 3 hours of game time. Service was efficient and friendly, with a good game selection. This place is not accessible for those with mobility aids.

Walked in during dungeons and dragons night and wasn't immediately hit by a stray fireball or something 10/10

I love this place, we go all the time, that staff is amazing and helpful and the food and drink is great!

A consistently great experience! Just came for the second time today. Huge game selection in a beautiful, organized atmosphere managed by friendly staff. Drinks are delicious and their dip is great! They’ve recently introduced different prices for different times - even better for those who know they couldn’t stay the original full three hours. I also like how their stamp card only takes five visits for one free!

The staff here are delightful, it feels like they enjoy what the do. The food is delicious and the price points are reasonable. The game selection is excellent.
This place is really popular so make sure to get a reservation before going. When it’s full it can get a bit loud- but that’s everyone having fun

100% will go again

Amazing friendly staff fun time was my first time going very fun place and atmosphere

AMAZING staff who are all friendly and very knowledgeable. This board game place is the best I've been to. The prices are incredible, and their menu is full of local items! They have so many game options for all age ranges. It's never a dull moment!

They can do walk-ins when available, but I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation to secure a time slot and avoid the disappointment of being told they are full!

Great vibes, commander on Wednesday nights always brings a good crowd of friendly folks. Staff is a joy to be around. Would reccomend to anyone for board games or mtg

Fun time, very friendly staff, huge selection of games, great atmosphere, LGBT+ friendly.

Such an amazing and fun experience! I've been here quite a number of times on date night or friend hang-outs, it's always a blast!!! There's such a wide array of games to choose from, Hues and Cues is my current favorite. And how can I forget the two dollar d20 gatcha, I look forward to adding to my collection every time I visit.

If you're booking for a larger party, be sure to reserve a table in advance; during less busy times it's possible to get a walk in, but still unlikely.

Great atmosphere, clean, friendly, extensive selection with knowledgeable staff. 5/5

It is fun place and staff are very kind!

Love to spend my time here every Wednesday that I can for commander, it's a great time
