Great place! Environment is really cool and staff here are super friendly. Their menu has different categories of games and the game masters explain the rules simply but clear. I usually don’t like playing board games but really enjoyed it today!
great space + location, the tables were amazing as was the plate by plate system. everything was pretty affordable too. lots of games to choose from, or just bring your own. the safe is pretty knowledgeable about games too which helps, plus they gave into our antics a bit.
A hidden gem! $5 per person gets y’all access to their impressive game library that has options for the most casual, lowkey board gamer to those looking to settle in for a multi-hour knock-down-drag out. The cocktails range classic to imaginative (sage ice cubes?!) but they’re all good. Staff is fun and helpful and everyone seems to actually care about games. Truly love this place!
Amazing games, great staff, and fantastic vibes. We were able to book a BOOKCASE ROOM which is in itself cool.Ordering menu items in 3's gets you a discount and you can stagger or have all items come out at once.The quality of the food and drinks are great and the portions are good enough to try multiple items.Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try new games and not having to buy them!
The private room only runs about $100 to rent all night, and it has a SECRET DOOR. The menu is mostly small snacks, with a few burgers and sandwiches. My friends particularly enjoyed the fresh baked cookies. There are lots of cocktails and drinks, I recommend the Bird of Prey. Most of the menu is actually a list of board games you can borrow and play with your friends. A definite recommend if you enjoy board games.
I have been a fan of Vigilante since before it even opened. I met the owner at a gaming event and immediately thought the idea was amazing. I have been going for years and have always been a fan. They have continued to work to always make the experience better. They have turned a good menu into a great menu. Continued to provide an excellent game library and always had wonderful Service. I was very worried when Covid hit that it would be doom for this restaurant. However they have been able to remain open and I appreciate their dedication to keeping their staff and patrons safe during the chaos of the last couple years.
I've been here a few times and I can't even begin to explain how amazing it is. The staff treats everyone like they personally know them, a huge selection of games, and the food is always really good and a really great price! I also love that you can reserve a table/room or you can just walk up. Great place and always a guaranteed fun night!
Nice place if you're into card games. Food is smaller portions but quality food. Cookies are freshly baked per order.Con: greeter will ask for your vaccination status on arrival and ask to wear a mask when not seated.
They had a great game master who described how to play the games. We liked that a lot. Additionally, they had small plates of food which were nice snacks. I like the price of $5 for unlimited games. Will come back.
Vigilante’s been one of my favorite Austin spots for years. As someone who loves going out and playing games, but doesn’t care for buying them or memorizing rules, their game menus and game sommelier/guides make all that super-easy.The food is always so good, the ambience (and private rooms!) are fantastic, it’s right off the train station, and they have a stellar balance of strict COVID protections indoors + more flexible options on the patio.Truly can’t recommend them enough. ??
