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.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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 a couple of friends on Saturday and have already booked again. We had a fab time, there’s lots of games to chose from and we loved the recommendations suggested by the staff.Orders are taken at the table, staff are friendly and helpful. The dirty fries were delicious as is the passion fruit smoothie.Highly recommend coming with friends and family.

I was on my first trip to Bristol and me and my friends randomly stumbled upon it. We had no real intentions of coming here in our original plan. However I got my mates in, we carried on drinking and it was an amazing time.I have already listen to the podcast and have been a Yogscast fan since 2011 so it was great to be in here.Lovely staff. Great selection of games. Many recognisable and many I've not seen before. A couple I'll be adding to my own collection now.It's such a shame there isn't one in Blackpool!If I am ever near another location I will be straight in!£2 per person per hour is such a good price!
