Last time I was here was during my high school days, and here I go about 8 years later and this store still stands. GameHaus is one of the most unique places I’ve been to. Rarely, if ever, do I find a spot where I can have the option of playing a million board games with my friends while also grabbing a bite. This spot is a gem and I’m glad it’s stood the test of time. Entering this store on a Tuesday night, there is a $5 cover charge per person in order to go and play. After that, you are free to roam and get any game you’d like. My friends and I played The Game of Life and Scrabble. The Game of Life became a little too real for us, especially since my friends and I are at the point where we’re making big career choices. If you’re hungry inside, unfortunately you can’t bring outside food or drinks, but they do sell a good variety! They have sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee, teas, and even beer and wine. The food ranges from $10-$14, while the drinks were about $6. The staff is very friendly! We came 2 hours before closing and they went around to every table making sure we didn’t need anything more before last call. This store doesn’t have a private parking lot. There is a neighborhood nearby with free street parking, just make sure you read the signs. Definitely come by! The only thing I wished was to have come in with an idea of what to play and how to play it. We literally came in with no game plan so we were quite overwhelmed with our options. But that’s not a bad problem to have if you have a lot of time to kill.

1-Up Lounge Menu with Prices 1121 McKenzie Ave, Bellingham

This is a place for video game lovers. Super friendly owner. They have 2200 video games, all free to play when you order a glass of alcohol beverage. After the first game, $2 for the next game and so forth (if I remember correctly). If you don’t drink alcohol, $6 (or $5?) per hour to play a game. They have Nintendo, Wii, Sega Genesis, Xbox, Play Station, etc. If you want to play longer, you may want to ask for a 1-day pass. This may be a good place to check out some games you heard about, or try out games before you decide to purchase one. Or simply get together with friends just to have fun playing games. ã??ã??ã?ªã?²ã?¼ã? ã???????ã??ã???ã??å¬?ã?ã?ã?åº???æ?ã??ã?ã?? ã??ã??ã?ªã?²ã?¼ã? ?æ?°?2200ã????å ?ã?Xboxã?ã??ã?¬ã?¤ã?¹ã??ã?¼ã?·ã?§ã?³??ã?è?²ã???ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??å?ã??æ?ã??ã??ã?ã?? ã?¢ã?«ã?³ã?¼ã?«ã??ã?ªã?³ã?¯ã??ã?ªã?¼ã??ã?¼ã?ã???ã?å?ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ?ç?¡æ??ã????ã?²ã?¼ã? ã?ã???ã?2ã??ã?«ã?ã?£ã?¼ã?¸?ã?ã?ã??ã??ã?¢ã?«ã?³ã?¼ã?«ã?????ã??å??ã?1æ??é??6ã??ã?«ï¼?5ã??ã?«ï¼?ï¼?ã??é?·æ??é??é??ã?ã??å???ã?1æ?¥ã??ã?¹??å?¥ã??è?ã???ã???ã??ã?ã?ã?ã??ã?? å???è?ã?ã?ã??ã??ã?ªã?²ã?¼ã? ã???ã???ã?ã??ã?ã???ã?²ã?¼ã? ã???å?¥ã?ã???ã????ã?ã??????ã?ã?ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã???ã???ã??ã??ã???ã?????ã???ã?ã?å?é??ä¸?ç·??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ã??é?????ã????ç«??å¯?ã???ã??ã?ã?ã?ã??ã??

Bottle Rev 3 – Menu with Prices – 7713 Lead Mine Rd #47, Raleigh

Bottle Revolution 3 is quickly moving up my list as a favorite spot. Nestled in Greystone Village on Leadmine Road, it’s at a great location with plenty to nibble on nearby, or Papa’s Pizza next door will personally deliver to you inside! They have a nice selection of beer on tap, an extensive selection of bottles of beer all around the shop, wine by the glass or bottle, sake, and more. Stopping in to watch the game? There are a couple of TV’s on the wall in the main room. Care to play a game or have a meeting? There’s a side room. I’ve dropped in there to catch up with friends, play Uno with friends, have meetings with a local writers group, and even have meetings with a local nonprofit. One of the walls is empty, if you need to project anything. Also in that room is a popcorn machine. I’m a big fan of Bottle Rev 3. If you’re nearby, or even not, you should drop in. The selection is fantastic, the service is great, and it’s at a great location!

Rook & Rogue Board Game Pub Menu with Prices 206 W Magnolia St, Bellingham

This is a very unique restaurant/pub in Bellingham. The owner is from Orlando, who thought Bellingham is “the place” to have a Boardgame pub and started it. They have 1300 board games on site. Many of them are free to play, some are $5, and some serious big games are $10 to play. If you are serious game player, you may want to pay $50/year membership to play $5 games, and $100/year membership to play $10 games. Membership comes with a free on entree meal on your birthday and free dessert. They have tables with a game board built in (I heard they paid around $2500 for the table). You can keep playing on the table till the food is ready and when food comes, they’ll install the table top on the table to eat, then after eating, they’ll remove the table top for you to continue playing the game. Some games like “Twilight Imperium” will take 13-17 hours to finish, therefore you may want to reserve the table for 2 days to complete the game. “Dark Tower” electronic board game came out in 1981 was on the $10 shelf. This game is discontinued and not made anymore, but you can still play at this place ? There is one boardgame pub in Seattle, but they say each boardgame pubs has its own characteristics and none of them are the same. Even if you are not into a board game, would be fun to try out once in your life ? ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ã?ã?­ã?¼ã?«ã??ã?¬ã?¤ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??å?é???ã???ã?ã??ã?é£?äº?ã??ã?ã?ã?æ???ã?å?§ã????ã?ã??ã?¬ã?¹ã??ã?©ã?³? 1300?é¡?ã???ã?²ã?¼ã? ã?ã?ã??ã?ã??ã?å¤???ç?¡æ????ã?å?ºã?ã??ã??ã?ã?????ã?ã?·ã?ªã?¢ã?¹?ã?²ã?¼ã? ?ã?å??ã??ã????$ï¼?ã??ã?«ã?$10ã??ã?«?ã???ã??ã?ã???ã?ã?ã??é??50ã??ã?«ã??ã??100ã??ã?«??ä¼??ã??æ????ã?5ã??ã?«ã?10ã??ã?«å??ã??æ?¾é¡??ã?ã?æ??ã??ã?? ?ä¼????ã?ã?èª?ç??æ?¥?ç?¡æ???ã?é£?äº?ã??ã?ã?ã??ã?¶ã?¼ã??ã?ç?¡æ?????ç?¹å?¸ã?ã?ã??ã??ã??ã?ã?? åº???ã?ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ç?¨ã??ã?¤ã??ã?³ã?°ã??ã?¼ã??ã?«ã?ã?ã??ã?ã?é£?äº?ã??ã????ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã???ã??ã?ã?é£?äº?ã??ã?ã??ã?ä¸??ã??ã?¼ã??ã?«?ã??ä¹?ã??ã?é£?äº?ã?ã?é£??çµ?ã??ã?ã??ã?ã??ã?¼ã??ã?«?ã??å?ã??æ????ã?ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ç¶?ã?ã??ã??ã????ã?ã??ã??ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ã?¤ã??ã?³ã?°ã??ã?¼ã??ã?«?ã?2500ã??ã?«??ã?ã????ã?ã?? ã???å»?ç?¤????ã?ã??ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? “Dark Tower” ã??ã?æ??ä½??ã??çµ?äº?ã?ã????13æ??é???ã?ã?ã???è¨?ã?ã???ã?ã?? “Twilight Imperium” ?ã?ã?ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ã?ã???ã?ã?? ã?·ã?¢ã??ã?«?ã??1?ã??ã?¼ã??ã?²ã?¼ã? ã??ã??ã?ã?ã???ã??ã?ã?ã??ã??ã?ã???ã??ã???å??æ?§ã?ã???é?ã????ã?ã?? ä¸??ã?ä½?é¨?ã??å?¼??ã?é£?äº?ã??ã???ã?ã?ã?¬ã?¹ã??ã?©ã?³?ã?ã??

Lula Drake Wine Parlour – Menu with Prices – 1635 Main St #2817, Columbia

Lula Drake is a very nice wine bar on main street in Columbia We wanted to check this wine bar out for the past couple of weeks, because it’s been highly recommended by friends. Because they’re located on main street , there is available street and garage parking nearby. The street parking is free after 6pm if you find some. Upon entering the wine bar we was greeted by bartender Jessica, who was very courtesy and professional while interacting with all of the guests. We had already eaten earlier this afternoon so we just decided to have a glass of wine, a local draft beer, and a cheese board. The wife said she enjoyed her wine, but felt that $11 a glass for Moscato was kind of high for a smaller city like Columbia. I had the Cabarrus Vanilla Coffee Blonde beer which was just okay, and kind of tasted just like a simple local draft beer. Now the ambience and vibe was very excellent. I would highly recommend it to friends and family members who want to have some good wine in the area.

Kurabi Bubble Tea – Menu with Prices – 3821 Airport Blvd Ste. A, Mobile

I used to like hanging out at Kurabi when they first opened. It’s very nice and chill. Good spot if you want to hangout with friends because they have board games and card games you can use for free! They also have free wifi if you need to study but some nights there are game tournaments happening and it gets so loud. They have lots of drink flavors to choose from and you can also customize the sugar level of your drink! If you’re unsure which one to get, they have free taste of certain flavors ? They have numerous add-ins too but I just always get the tapioca pearls. They also have some goodies you can munch on. Taking one star off because the store had been crazy (see picture attached). It’s full of different stuff which makes the store look so messy. I wish they can clear things out or at least hide it behind the game shelf. Nonetheless, it’s still a great spot for boba. The crews are friendly and patient with my indecisiveness (I know, it’s embarrassing haha) Try it when you get a chance!

Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection – Menu with Prices – 2501 W 12th St, Erie

This is a great store when you want to buy alcohol. The alcohol in wine sections are clearly marked and they have a special area for drinks made in Pennsylvania. All merchandise is clearly marked and nicely stacked. The cashing staff was also quite friendly. There is lots of light in the store which makes it a wonderful shopping experience. The parking in front of the store is free.

Critical Hit Games – Menu with Prices – 1003 W 6th St, Corona

Best game shop ever!!! They were very clean, organized, and stocked with some wonderful games and supplies for a variety of hobbies. My DnD group met up there, and they were more than accommodating to let us move tables together, use their wifi, play some soft music, and play. They were polite and accepting of our shenanigans. I would recommend this store to anyone, give them a visit! One tip about parking, there is parking available on their sides, at the back, and in the surrounding streets.

The Oak House Durham – Menu with Prices – 126 W Main St, Durham

Such a rad spot on Main St! If I lived here I would be here all the time. It’s got all my favorite things: house-roasted coffee, local craft beers, wines from the best regions of California, Italy, Argentina and more, bar seating, strong wifi, outlets, and parking close by. The staff are so nice and knowledgeable on their products. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. My family and I came here to grab drinks and play some intense family card games. We grabbed the community table in the back, ordered our beverages and the staff brought over a couple jugs of complimentary water for us to share. The background music was at perfect level, the place was bumping but not too crowded for comfort, and all seemed to be really enjoying themselves. My family headed out and I stayed to work for a couple hours, which naturally meant finding the perfect beer to accompany me. The bartenders were hilarious informing me about their beers and giving me taste testers to make sure I found the perfect one. The Starpoint DIPA was amazing but the keg was tapped so I ended up going with a non-local sour. I also got a cold brew to-go for the next morning which was delicious, low in acidity and easy to sip on throughout the morning. Oak House is big on locally sourcing. If I understood correctly, their pastries are from the local bakery Whisk & Rye, the use a local creamery for their milks, and their teas are local. They have live music nights, run groups, tastings and board game nights. It’s a great spot to grab coffee and a pastry in the morning, and enjoy drinks with friends at night. I recommend for working, as well. Definitely check this place out, I know I’ll be back!

The Boardroom: Board Game Restaurant & Bar – Menu with Prices – 8725 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park

I really want to like this place more than I do. The game selection is great, and its a really fun place to meet friends for a boardgame or a tabletop RPG, but the food and drinks are all over the place. Its not terrible, but its far from great. Its like every meal I’ve had has just fallen short of good. Had one of the breakfast meals and order ham, and was given more of a pork loin than a ham steak. It was good, but not what I expected. My buddy ordered a burger, and the patty was tiny and had broken while being cooked. And the drinks are just as muddled. Most of the mixed drinks are pretty good, but they run out of things a lot so you sometimes have to order two or three different drinks before you can get one they have everything for. And the Butterbeer. The poor, poor butterbeer. The have the same “recipe” that Pawn and Pint has and its just as sad. Go Google “Butterbeer Recipes” and you’ll get back dozen of delicious looking cocktails. Some are obviously way to much for a small restauraunt to do, but others are fairly simple. Even the least complicated ones though are still better than a Miller Light and a shot of Buttershots. I would lover to see a little more thought and detail going into the drinks as time goes on. Maybe even make a game out of it. Have like a monthly “Suggest a drink” contests. And have a beer menu handy. Only having it on the rotating tv screens makes it hard to order a drink. The back area is a nice place to get a group together to play games with less noise from the front room, but since they put up ads for some local beer, you can’t see through the windows so the waitstaff forgets you’re back there and it can be hard to get a refill or order more food. All in all, if you go and just want to play games and have fun with friends, its a great place to go. But maybe eat somewhere else before coming in.

Cue’n Cushion Billiards & Bar – Menu with Prices – 319 Bank St, Ottawa

This place is fantastic. Seriously, I don’t normally say “wow knocks my socks off” but for a local pool hall with decent beer, this place wins all the way. A couple friends and I have been desperately trying to get better at pool. What better place than an actual pool hall. It’s right down the street from me which makes it EVEN better. Seriously, how could you go wrong. The place is full of tables. There are larger ones for a full game where you pay by the hour ($9) or smaller ones where you play per game ($1.50?). When you’re as ‘new’ as we are, paying per game is perfect. Although if you’ve got 4 or 5 of you per hour is good because you’re playing on a full table. The place is cash only but there’s an ATM in there to help you out. And the beer is great. They have 5 or 6 different beers on tap, including but NOT limited to Alexander Keith’s, they have some decent alternatives as well, and at $15 a pitcher it’s a great price to share a few pints while you play. The staff are fantastic, funny and attentive and there’s always a super diverse crowd. The whole place is a little “grungy” but it’s an upstairs pool hall, so you really, honestly, can’t expect anything else. It’s open super late and I’ve yet to show up and not be able to get a table. All in all, this pool hall it gets 5 stars from me!

I/O Arcade Bar – Menu with Prices – 720 Williamson St, Madison

One of my favorite bars in town. They don’t have a lot of games but the variety is there. From a wall of pinball machines, old school single players to new school 10 players. Yes, that’s 10 players – Killer Queen is the game and rare in the nation. You have racing games, fighting and shooting games. Another new one is a 4 player PAC-Man. And the 4 player console of Mario Smash Bris. projected on a screen (free to play, first come first serve). So the variety is definitely there. Also, most games have either cup holders built in or a spot along side of the game for your drinks. It does get pretty “pac” weekend nights but hey, there’s a bar you can get drinks from and tables you can chill at. The barcade has a nice balance between bar and arcade, whether you just want to hang and drink or just want to feed the machines with all your laundry quarters, they serve both purpose. They have an ATM and two change machines. And the staff are super friendly and can help with any game issues or tips on playing the games ?

Café Dei Campi – Menu with Prices – 1360 Rosemont Blvd, Montreal

Another amazing gem of a bakery. I went here to just see what they had for vegan treats which he told me everything, absolutely is vegan ! Which I had thought to be amazing. The parking in the area sucks, I think mostly because it’s so busy and I went on a weekday at 1 pm. I had thought that it would’ve been slower ! But it was worth the headache of finding the perfect free spot in front ! They have many amazing vegan items from tarts, cookies and pizzas. As well as hot and cold drinks. As well they sell really cool pasta and drinks to buy. I grabbed an assorted box of baking as the price was right for $30.00. The price per each baking ranges from $2.00 to $5.00. They custom make donuts only on Saturday and they post them on their Facebook page what they will be. I have yet to try but they look worth it to checkout. They also have free Wifi which is great if you wanted to work from there. Although I don’t suggest it as it is quite nosy and can actually be hard to find seating. I only give it a 4 as parking and seating is hard. Which gave me a bit of an irritation. But will be back to try the donuts out.
