My house used to be considered a sizeable cache for board games, and I've been put to shame after coming here. Hell, I haven't heard of 80% of the games I saw on the racks when I first came here. But that's what makes coming to Tabletop a very unique experience every time (as long as you're open to trying new things).
$5, and you can stay the entire day just playing board games with friends. There's also a bar and food offerings available the entire day. I always get a root beer float, but usually nothing else, because the food is unfortunately overpriced for what they offer. If you do opt for food, the Gouda mac is pretty good. The rest is pretty lackluster.
What's the move? Go to any restaurant on W. 25th for lunch/dinner, then go to Tabletop. I've had so many fun hours spent there, and it's probably going to become a pastime soon. Come for the games and for the root beer.
