Gameopolis

This is the only board game café in Hamilton. Though it is very small (only about 10 tables), it has a huge selection of board games for all ages and group sizes. I love coming here for dates, or just hanging out with a group of friends. Remember to book reservations if you’re coming on the weekend — it tends to fill up fast!

Came here for a first date type place and enjoyed the selection of games in stock. The drink selection is moderate but average priced, whereas there food selection is greatly lacking. Revamping both those options by increasing selections of both food and drink and introducing specials would greatly improve my experience alongside many other like minded individuals. My only real criticism comes from the fact that they took reservations for setting and then arbitrarily said they don’t take reservations and that they haven’t for a while. Calling back shortly after to speak to another person, the employee said they only take reservations on weekend and in advance and not the same day. So it’s this disjointed level of understanding whether they do reservations, if at all, is what irritated me. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax, play unlimited board games from all eras.

Stopped by last week for take out. I had a Tofurkey chipotle panini melt with vegan cheese and a Cæsar salad minus the croutons (dairy). Owners were very knowledgeable regarding the ingredients and very friendly. The menu is small but effective, and there are homemade baked goods as well as various café beverages. My food was delicious, the Cæsar had a tasty almond based dressing and tonnes of «bacon» bits. I will surely return, perhaps to play one of the hundreds of board games available.
