Three floors of games ! Not just games but video games as well. Go early if you want to have a spot as the later it gets the longer the wait. Very well organized and taken care of. The game masters are some of the best. I enjoy the care they take to learn a game and to teach you about it. I would suggest a group of 4 is the best to go with as 2 people is hard ( not impossible) to find a good two player board game. The atmosphere is beautiful the wood exposed beams and the stone walls of an ancient building are beautiful. Highly recommend and the gummy dice are so unique it's unbelievable.

Went here last week and had a great time! If you like video or board games and want some delicious food, I’d definitely recommend. We spent like 3 hours here last time and will definitely be coming back next time we want something fun to do!

So glad we walked around and found this place. Food was good, which did suprise me. The cocktails were excellent. Good drink selection. Server was very friendly and helped explain the games. You can play video game or board games. Small uncharge for this. Loved the interior and the whole vibe Will definitely return when in Ottawa again.

We just came to sit and play and only got water. Ended up being 12 per person even for only 1 hour. Could have stayed a lot longer for the same price. Keep that in mind. Fantastic board game selection in good condition. Can buy games if you want, right from your table. Had a great old pub atmosphere. Staff is very attentive and makes sure you have what you need. I would highly recommend, and I would love to go again. Only real downside is no dedicated parking. It required a long time and a long walk to actually get to the location. Prepare for a long search and arrive well early if you have a date!

Such a great time at this board game cafe! The staff was super friendly, and we had so much fun playing Hedbanz, Tapple and Cards Against Humanity. The nachos were really tasty, though the portion was a bit small. Still, definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

Pretty chilled spot. This was nice to discover on a trip to Ottawa during the winter. Had some drinks and played some games. There was a waiting list for both video games and board games. I think it's a great little spot because it encourage people to interact and enjoy time together vs being on our cellphones or a more isolating experience. Crowdy but enough room to maintain your individual space.

We had a great time here, we came to play some games. There are three floors, the main level has the video games, upstairs has a bar and seating area. The bathrooms are located in the bathroom. They have an organized system, you scan the QR code there are categories for how many players,types of games to choose from. If you have a hard time finding a game, they will help you. There were so many options for all ages to choose from. There was a bit of wait for the video games, but our name came up fairly quickly, we were escorted to the video game section. There are several tables with different consoles. You choose the game, staff sets it up. This was so much fun, there are food/ drink options as well. Staff was friendly!
