Games on Tap Board Game Café

Had a nice Sunday afternoon with friends here. They have a wide selection of games which was really nice. I tried their B-​52, which was not that great, but their brownies+vanilla ice cream was to die for. When I ordered my first brownie, I didn’t realize I can have ice cream with it, so once I found out I HAD to order the second one. It was a very enjoyable place, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play board games for a few hours, or just sit there and study a bit — I think they allow that on weekdays before 6:30pm.

Cool and chill atmosphere with a wide variety of board games available. Café food, from paninis to salads are available with a decent selection of beer. Staff were very friendly and helpful with the recommendations for the type of board games. Had a really good time there playing coup, sushi go, scotland yard and exploding kitten with friends!

Came here last night with 2 other friends and we had an absolute blast! The boardgame café is really chilll. Also it was much less crowded than crossroads on king and the selection of games doubled crossroads as well. We ordered some snacks and tried new boardgames.
One of the boardgames, which none of us have played before, was Pandemic. We asked the waitress if she could explain it to us and she brought someone to tell us about it. He took atleast 15 minutes patiently explaining it and setting it up for us with an awesome positive attitude!
Overall Games on Tap is a nice place to unwind and have fun with friends! Would definitely recommend!

We showed up last night for an impromptu night, only to discover that it was actually trivia night and they were fully booked.: (By some stroke of luck, a table of 4 had cancelled though so we were able to get their table. $ 5/​pp to play the games and trivia was included. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed the trivia more than some of the other locations we’ve played at, and the food was really good too. We had a pitcher of Steam Whistle, the grilled cheese sampler and a pepperoni flat bread, as well as a nutella latte. Everything was great, we’ll definitely be back!

Came here once with my friend and immediately knew I was going to love it. The inside is very warm and cozy. It was a nice surprise to walk in and see how classy it was despite what it looks like on the outside. It was actually quite spacious too!
We came on a Saturday afternoon and I’m pretty sure we spent around 5 hours in there until it started getting busy in the evening and we overstayed our time. Our waiter did let us know ahead of time, however, that we were allowed to stay as long as we want until it starts getting busy, in which we would only be allowed to stay for 3 hours. It’s $ 5/​person to stay and play games which is very worth it!
Our waiter was VERY nice and helpful; they all are! They even offer to explain how to play some of the games that they know how to play. I was impressed with our waiter’s in-​depth explanation about a game called Tokaido. It probably would have taken me and my friend a long time to figure it out hahaha. Sometimes it helps to have someone explain it to you verbally.
But I was glad I game. I got to try out so many different games and now I know which ones were fun and which ones I would play again. There are A LOT of board games here; to save time, you might even want to look up some that you’re interested in before you even go there lol. I recommend trying out their Jenga remix game, where you add on pieces instead of taking away pieces. Such a fun twist on Jenga!
I ordered an iced tea (which comes with 1 free refill) and we got the nachos. I like that they offer snacks here. Their default iced tea is VERY sweet, like canned iced tea sweet, but I’m sure you can ask for less sugar if you prefer it that way. I could have gone for less sugar.
I’m so glad I tried this place out. I will definitely come here again! I’m recommending it to all my friends.

Great atmosphere and location, though parking can be a bit painful to figure out (back of building down one steep side of building). Nice interior, fresh food, nice and friendly staff. Didn’t notice any sort of sound damping panels (important in large spaces when many gamer gather). Quiet during the day and early evening with decent enough space, but I can see this spot loud at the busy times. Needs a few more tables in the space as well.
My main concern is, as a long-​time and hard core board-​gamer (40+ years now), I was a bit underwhelmed by the selection of games. Admittedly, most of the familiar Euro and Ameritrash are there, along with many lighter/​filler-​type games, but there were also a very noticeable selection of Milton Bradley flat box type games mostly suitable for very very very causal gamers I could pick up at most garage sales. Maybe a third of the game inventory on display struck me this way.
That said, any game café is a good one, and the space is modern fresh clean and new (food is also pretty good) so I’ll give this ³⁄₅ for the time being.
