Geek Retreat Aberdeen

Amazingly helpful staff, they were very friendly and informative when I asked them any questions regarding the products on sale. Didn't mind that I wasn't a paying customer this month and they still provided excellent customer service.

Friendly staff, clean and tidy space, really welcoming, a safe environment, the vibe was really nice. I really enjoyed the food and the coffee. I'd highly recommend it for games and I even saw a JoJo's bizarre adventure poster today which was really nice! Good community worth supporting

A very nice hangout for gamers and seeks alike.It leans heavily towards card games like Magic and also some D&D. Perfectly suitable for boardgames also as the tables are well sized. Looking forward to returning for some more boardgaming.Could do with a better selection of games to purchase instead the majority of monopoly but it is good having a gaming place to go.

This is a brilliant establishment. It was nice to see a store dedicated to people with geeky" or "nerdy" hobbies

Wonderful family-friendly place with good food and pleasant, helpful staff. We've been in several times and always enjoyed being there, they stock a good deal of fun, useful items for tabletop gaming and other hobbies as well as a great range of vegan and vegetarian options on their menu.EDIT: This was a originally an apologetic 4 star review because of the patrons constantly smoking outside the doors, blocking entry to people and making it hard to take kids in.The staff addressed this complaint the week I posted it, I've been in three times since and every time the smokers have been politely to the side away from the main entrance. Incredibly fast handling of a problem that wasn't even really the fault of the shop or staff, absolutely wonderful. More stars please. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! What a place! Can't believe there's something so community involved right in the middle of Aberdeen. Something for every interest and loads of special events seem to be on for various hobbies like Warhammer, Pokémon and Magic the Gathering. Friendly staff and a nice variety of refreshments. Manager is also ace

Bad vibes only! Everything is really overpriced in here, it all seems to be marked up about 20-30% more than anywhere else. The worst culprit is the food. Super greasy and unhealthy. They charge about £8 for a Chicago town pizza that you can get in a supermarket for a quid or two. Most of the staff look miserable and others come and talk to you for just a little bit TOO long.. there’s often screaming kids running around upstairs and the downstairs is cold and smells of mould. Although that probably beats the stench of chip grease and B.O upstairs.

Walked in. Music from late 90s games playing. Choirs sang, light shone from the heavens and I fell to my knees and wept as i was teleported back through time to Aeris' garden in FF7.Make a section of the menu for the Free From crowd and get a fifth star in return.**Edit** by the Nine, they have gluten free and vegan options. I bestow the fifth star as promised!

I was here the other day and the employees were so nice and informative with everything! As a self proclaimed nerd, a place like this is a sanctuary! The only thing that was off putting was the owner, he introduced himself and then seemed to talk about himself for…. Much longer than I felt was appropriate as a customer. He did not make me feel comfortable, I think he only seemed to care that there there was an audience to listen to his rambles. His attitude seemed rather arrogant, not welcoming. Luckily everyone else was awesome as usual so I’ll be sure to come back when the owner isn’t there.
