| - I feel really torn about giving this place 4 or 3 stars. But I've decided to go the generous route, at least until I visit some other board game bars to do a comparison.
We came on a Sunday shortly after they opened. Unfortunately, they don't serve alcohol on Sundays (but we knew this going in since it's clearly displayed on their website). We tried the milkshake flight (3 new flavors they're auditioning to be next month's FOM). For August it includes red velvet, brownie, and birthday cake. Honestly, they all tasted pretty much the same to me, and they were rather boring. We also got some buffalo popcorn, which was fine. I would have much rather had something more substantial to snack on, or nutritious even. But their menu options are very limited to things like popcorn, chips, candy, etc. A cheese plate or some crudités would go a long way here, in my opinion.
Anyway, you don't come here for the food or drinks, you come for the games. They have a fine selection, which is organized by category. My husband had already studied their game menu online before coming (which he said is a huge plus for this place compared to other game board bars), so we knew what we wanted to play and didn't really do much browsing. I would think that the ease-of-browsing/selecting makes a big difference in your overall experience (like it would at a bookstore or library), so my review is lacking in that aspect.
Overall I'd say this place is great just because I love the idea of a board game bar. But it's also the only one I've been to, so I can't say if it's better or worse than the other options in the area.
