Frequently Asked Questions

  • A board game cafe is a place to play board, card and other tabletop games, with a selection of food and drinks to enjoy while you play.

    Our goal is to connect people through two things we know well: food and tabletop games.

  • For those who want to play games, there is a day pass fee to stay and play for as long you want (no in-and-out privileges). Choose any game from our expansive collection or bring your own! This fee is still charged if you bring your own games to play.

    Complete your game with our selection of craft beers, sandwiches, and snacks.

    Come by, find a table, and stay for as long as you'd like.  Looking to save money?  Check out our membership options.

    Not looking to play games? That's okay too. We make a great study & work space, with our Wi-Fi and power outlets. Note that we do ask that you make a food or drink purchase if using a table.

  • Our vision for Tabletop Tavern is to be an inclusive, cozy board gaming experience for people of all ages. This place is for everyone - from visitors who aren’t sure if they like board games to groups who have been running their D&D campaign for years. Tabletop Tavern aims to be a welcoming space that prioritizes accessibility, enjoyment, comfort, and great food.

  • A day pass fee is a necessary part of the board game cafe business model. The fee serves as a sitting fee (you get to stay as long as you want - we aren’t trying to turn over tables like a normal restaurant). Also, it helps us cover the cost of maintenance of our collection.

  • No, if you are ONLY purchasing food/drink and not playing games, you don't have to pay the gaming fee.
