| - Lucky me, I had the pleasure of checking out Snakes & Lagers on one of their preview nights, prior to their official grand opening. Giddy with excitement, I walked through the doors to some very welcoming staff. Note, similar to Snakes & Lattes, there is a $5 cover fee.
Snakes & Lagers may appear a bit small on first glance, however, not to fret, there is a second floor full of gaming goodness upstairs.
Since this was a preview night, they did not have their full library of games, but still had a nice array of awesomeness to choose from. We spent most of the evening playing Ticket To Ride & King of Tokyo. The awesome staff that I previously mentioned, will happily provide you with a walkthrough of how to play a game if you have never played it before, or just need a quick refresher.
The food here kicks some serious butt. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the food, and the nice variety offered! Mostly they serve tapas and snack style foods, but the tapas are quite large (for the sandwiches, wraps, etc. think bigger than a slider, but smaller than a full sized sandwich.) We tried the lettuce wraps (GIANT meat portions in these bad boys,) the Mini Mac (exactly what you think it is, but more delicious), the Fried Brussel Sprouts (we DEVOURED two cast iron skillets of these, which were EXTREMELY delicious and well seasoned), the Duck Fat Spiced Popcorn (on the house, and addictive,) and the charcuterie board (standard charcuterie, in my opinion).
In addition to the savoury, we decided to pick up and taste test a few desserts. All of their "pies" are served in mason jars, and are extremely cute & well presented. Delicious. The mason jars were not filled for long. While their desserts rotate, we tried the mud pie & lemon meringue. They also have these rediciously soft and delicious cookies (that have a special name I can't remember :(). We went with a butterscotch and BACON that was super tasty!
By the time we left, our tummies were full, and we were happy campers.
I'm super excited to come back here for some tipsy board gaming shenanigans :).
