1 year agoGoing to this place for a Doom metal show. They had a bar in there with a few choices. Had a cool chill area I seen a Nintendo Wii. Then the whole other side was items that you can buy to play dungeons & dragons and such. Really nice cool people.

2 years agoSo happy to find a place with a full bar and open gaming. A lot of people playing different games with MTG being the most common. They let you bring your own food since they don't have a kitchen so it's awesome that it's in Berkley as they have a great selection and a pizza joint right next door! I'... Read more

Best gaming shop for several miles! Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Great community support and outstanding evening programs and activities. Very amenable and accepting of customer ideas and requests. Their willingness to create more opportunities for their customers is unlike anything I've experienced anywhere else. Not to mention their approachability! It's a gaming shop that makes you feel at home when you game there. I always love to stop in, even if it's just to get some good conversation. Show less

2 years agoDrove an hour away to check this place out. The shop portion of the store is small but the lounge, bar, and game area is really the selling point here. The live music was interesting but not for me, and drew in a very different crowd that seemed a bit alternative or rude. I was hoping to find other ... Read more

The live music was interesting but not for me, and drew in a very different crowd that seemed a bit alternative or rude. I was hoping to find other geeks to play with. The staff at the bar were incredible and funny, very nice people. The drink selection was decent. Clean store! Wished there was more than one bathroom. It did get a bit warm with all the people crowding in but it wasn't awful. I'd love to see what the vibe is on a week night. Show less

1 year agoIf you’re into strategic dice/card games this might be your place. With a large area dedicated to team play you can get all the War Hammer (and more) you want. The front lobby has a good array of games, models, and other accessories. Friendly staff & a central location is a perk.

If you like to drink while you play games, this place is for you as they have a fully stocked bar. I don't drink, so I am not enthusiastic about the bar, but the people I play love it, and I believe that is why they choose this place. If I drank I would rate this place 4 star. Lol Show less

1 year agoWent in tonight and the girl was super rude.

Went in tonight and the girl was super rude. Asked her a simple question of how much something cost and she looked at us weirdly and said If there is not a price they’re not for sale instead of coming from behind the counter to look and see if there was a price somewhere in the case. Terrible service. Told her have a good night and she didn’t even respond or say hello. She seemed more in a rush to go back to the back area and do whatever she was doing before we arrived. We were willing to spend money but she made us take our business somewhere else. Show less

Each doorway feels like a portal to another realm as you walk through the entrance & store, through the Olde tavern, into the back gaming space. Even the gaming space has a certain medieval charm, while still maintaining AMAZING functionality. I live 5 hours away and plan to come back as soon as I can. Show less

1 year agoVery interesting place. I can see the joint packed with single nerds, never to know true love, on the regular. I went to catch a local band play (no stage, just smack in the middle of a room), and I'm pretty sure I saw a wizard costume on the way in. If that was my thing, I'd be there daily. But it...

I went to catch a local band play (no stage, just smack in the middle of a room), and I'm pretty sure I saw a wizard costume on the way in. If that was my thing, I'd be there daily. But it's not, so I'll leave that to those more interested in games than reality. No offense if you're one of those folks. But like I said, interesting place and pretty cool at the same time.

1 year agoEasily one of the best places in the area for Friday Night Magic. Plenty of seating, great atmosphere, awesome staff, and a bar on top of all of that. The only real issue I have with the place is that they don't have a big focus on singles or sealed product, but that's also not the end of the world.

6 months agoDisappointed after a few different interactions with them. It’s not really a decent retail offering, more just a bar/event space.
