9 months agoAlways tend to spend a few hours to hang out with friends playing board games and always a good time. They have a satisfactory selection of snacks to munch on and some beer to choose from. Just be sure to lock up your car nearby!

1 year agoThis is hands down the best game store in town. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the environment is ideal for hanging out to play games with friends. I especially appreciate the quality (and quantity) of the tables available for playing games, and the selection of games to play.

Big fan of this place! Rooms for rent if you need privacy for those intense dnd sessions. It's $50 but anything your party buys while there goes towards that amount. Some small snacks and plenty of drink options both non alcoholic and alcoholic. They have no issues if you bring in a pizza. I honestly recommend this place to everyone. They have the general room where you can snag an open table no charge. Beware though because this place is POPULAR so if you have any noise sensitive people you are better off renting a room.

7 months agoReally nice place for gaming. And they do offer some alcohol drinks but very limited. They do not have a liquor license so do not go for that. I dont drink to much beer so I could not recommend much on their beer and wine selection.

This place was super cool, tons of games (and I mean TONS, hundreds of card games, board games, role playing games, anything you could think of, they had it). They have a nice selection of wine and beer, and some sodas as well. The absolute only piece of criticism I have is to maybe offer water cups/free water (if possible) to patrons. I had an amazing time either way and I highly recommend coming and checking it out. It’s in a really cute art deco district area. Also, the owner and bartenders were super cool and welcoming. We will be coming back 🃏 Show less

Very fun! This is a great hang out spot with lots of games to choose to play or you can bring your own and utilize their huge tables to really spread out. They also have an excellent selection of beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and will allow you to bring in food from outside. We ordered pizza from Deco which was excellent and a quick walk to pick up which barely delayed game play. Use their die system to try new drinks! Their staff is also quite knowledgeable about the games you may like based on what you like to play at home. Plus, there is improv on Friday and Saturday nights in their back theater. Definitely worth trying out if you like to play board games! Show less

This gamer bar is on the corner of W Lynwood Ave and Fredricksburg. There is limited parking in the front of the building but plenty in back of the building next door. We were invited by the Esoteric Cult of Horror to see a secret double feature hosted by Video Dungeon. Their movie room was very spacious, had great sound and seemed to have approximately a 50 person capacity. Black Potion hosts many secret screenings that you can stay informed about by joining their Facebook group. The main feature of the business is the gaming space they provide to avid role playing gamers. In addition to having a dozen tables in the main room they also have private rooms as well. They have snacks as well as quite a nice selection of beers available and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can role a die to have fate choose one for you. Their ladies room offers free feminine products which was thoughtful and something I haven’t seen anywhere else. I would come back just to have a couple beers in the relaxed atmosphere. Show less
