Lovely board games café, the service was super friendly and they've got a decent selection of games. The area right at the back of the cafe can get quite loud if it's booked up, but not much you can do about it. We only tried some drinks - the Ferrero milkshake was good, although it could've been thicker; nice range of Bird & Blend teas and alcoholic drinks.

We had a great time here. We received a warm and friendly welcome and attentive service. We got the right amount of help to choose some games to try. We enjoyed our hot drinks and were happy to see they have alternative milks and without extra charge. Everything felt reasonable priced. We bought a game to gift to our friends whilst there too. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Bristol!

Visited with friends for our annual Christmas meet-up, and we were all so impressed. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the game selection was excellent and well maintained, and the beers and coffees were great. Will definitely be back soon!

We went for 2 hours and time flew by there was a good choice of games we had chicken pie the pie itself was tasty I dropped 1 star cause it was just pie on the menu and my husband doesn't eat pie or mash and I didn't like the gravy overall we had a great time

Had a morning gaming session here after seeing the dednutz live concert, me and my friend had never been before and the worker there was super helpful, got us all settled in and set us up with star wars deck building game which me and my friend loved! And the worker showed us how to play and made sure we were comfortable and as we payed the bill we bumped into Alex Smith the front man of the band we just saw! 10/10 would definitely come here again next time we visit Bristol.

amazing selection of games, a great way to spend an afternoon :)

Came in as a small group and had a lovely time. Food was very decent if a touch expensive for what it was, and the drinks are fantastic; particularly the peach long island iced tea and the mulled cider. Great selection of games and lovely staff!

Excellent place to play board games and other games with your friends (or even strangers on the social night that happens every week). The atmosphere is lovely, the snacks available are great, the selection of games available is plentiful and the staff is nice.Added to this, it's in Christmas steps, which is a lovely spot in Bristol.Definitely recommended.

Really fun evenings spent here. Plenty of games to choose from or friendly staff to ask for a recommendation. Tasty food and drinks available as well. Fully recommend!

Great variety of games, from totally amateur and silly through to much more involved ones. We hadn't booked a table but were made to feel very welcome. Tasty vegan pies.
I absolutely love this place! I spent my birthday here and having access to SO MANY boardgames I've wanted to buy is such a bargain. The staff are so friendly and amazing, they'll recommend games and explain rules. The drinks are incredible too- I had a chai latte and Deluxe hot chocolate- only put 4 stars on food because I didn't order much, but what I did get was good. The concept and execution of the boardgame cafe is excellent. I'll be making regular visits here despite the fact I live quite far. Id recommend to anyone!!Kid-friendliness: The variety of games would be brilliant for all ages and it's such a comfortable fun environment! :)

Had a brilliant time...only thing was wish we had booked longer than two hours!! Pie Minster pies are always amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful in choosing games to play for 2 people. And they allow dogs...which was a huge bonus, so my dog watched us play :)

Was not sure want to expect but my son and I really enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food menu is limited but still tasty. There is a big selection of games to choose from and the staff were knowledgeable to recommend games for my son and I to play. They even helped set up the games and explained how to play. It is £2 per person per hour to play the games, which is reasonable. We were allowed to stay an extra hour to order more milkshakes and finish our game. Will definitely be going again.

I've been to quite a few board game cafes and this one has to have the best 'filing system' for its games, with them sorted by approximate play time. Speaking of time, though, it's a shame you can't book a slot of more than two hours. For many customers I'm sure an option for a half-day slot would be very welcome. The food and drinks are top notch. I had a pizza and a vegan cherry milkshake and both were outstanding. Friendly helpful team. The space is not huge so it did get a bit hard for my friend and I to hear each other sometimes, as all the other tables were full and some had players who were (no judgement!) quite animated! :)

We had a really lovely time here with our young boys. Brilliant atmosphere - informal but buzzy. We loved the pots of chewy sweets alongside tasty cocktails, mocktails and
