Definitely a great place to hang out and unwind! Their specialty cocktails are a treat as are their spicy bulgogi house pockets! Lynne is a great bartender! Make sure to hit her up for your drinks!

Great place to kick back and chill with friends. Definitely a spot that you want to schedule an afternoon for though since it's going to eat some of your time with all of the board games that you can play. Just make sure you set down your beer before you try to pickup any board games.

The venue itself is really aesthetically pleasing. The owner and staff are professional and make you feel welcome into the space. Came for a wine tasting event that was hosted at the venue and had such a great time. 10/10 would visit again.

Super amazing place. Great venue for gaming as well as tournaments. I stumbled across this place while the G8 convention was happening and watching The players battle it out was a amazing site. My friend got his drink bumps off the table and we were able to get a complimentary drink soon right after. The bartenders are great and very knowledgeable. Nice downtown place to hang out

Really cool venue. The 1 star review is because on a Friday night they only have 1 bar tender making drinks and taking orders. Clearly this place is popular enough to pay staff. Refused to wait 30 to 40 minutes in line for one person to make everyone's drinks.

This place is awesome! Super chill atmosphere with plenty of board games and video games. There are video game tournaments weekly (I think Smash and maybe a couple others) if you're into that scene. You get an hour on a gaming computer for free if you order a drink, and it's super worth. Highly recommend going with groups of 5-10 people, but you can still have fun alone or with just one or two friends! Do note the hours aren't like many places in downtown (evenings, not open Monday and Tuesday). Hope to see y'all there and have fun!

Neat place with PCs and board games. Good selection of tasty drinks at the bar. I haven't tried their calzones yet, but I do wish they had a couple more food options. The ambient music is not too loud (THANK GOODNESS!) and the bartenders are really friendly.

Great place to have a gaming party! They have the ability to partition off a section of the room to give us the semi-privacy we wanted. The staff, especially Michael, were all very friendly and super helpful!

Awesome experience! Friendly owner and a very unique space with everything from surprisingly great cocktails (even for DTSJ) and a variety of activities (PC gaming, consoles, wargaming, board games, tournaments with streaming and a stage) and probably more I missed

It’s a bar with games- what more could we want? Specifically, it’s modern gaming- PCs, console, and tabletop games. There is a special for 1 hour of PC gaming with EVERY bar purchase. Board games free
