I love coming to playopolis! The staff and service I can not fault. The staff are bubbly and helpful and it has such a friendly atmosphere. They have a great selection of board games to choose from and its a great place to spend with your friends. They are also very flexible about staying longer if they have the space available. I dont have a big place so coming here is a great way to get everyone together I also think they have a great selection on their menu and there is something for everyone. I personally love their milkshakes. Show less

2 years agoGreat place, I love it, amazing selection of boardgames to pick from or bring your own. Great selection of drinks and snacking food, the only reason I only gave 4's for food and service is that there are only normally 2 staff working and they are very busy, so during busy periods you will have to ...

Great place, I love it, amazing selection of boardgames to pick from or bring your own. Great selection of drinks and snacking food, the only reason I only gave 4's for food and service is that there are only normally 2 staff working and they are very busy, so during busy periods you will have to wait for drinks/food. But great atmosphere, I would highly recommend!! Show less

We went there on a Tuesday night, each of us having a tough day at work and at home. So went to change the scenery and let go of the day. Loved it! Staff are super friendly and happy. There was so many games to choose from - a whole library! We had dinner and drinks and car parking was just behind the shop. Cost for food and drink slightly pricey for what they were however we enjoyed the meals while we played.It also costs £4.50 per person to be able to play for 3hrs - I would have liked to have seen, spend over £15 per person on food and drink and play for free.

1 year agoA really relaxed, friendly place. We didn't know what to expect, but the staff made us feel really welcome. We had such a good time, loads of games to choose from and a good selection of drinks. Will definitely go back for a mid-week night out.

2 years agoThey are always lovely, the food and alcohol isn’t bad priced the entry fee isn’t extortion for what you get. Read the article in the bathroom and sums it up quite well

3 years agoI feel it's fairly priced and transparent in cost. The hosts that day were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was chilled. No overbearing background music. Games stored neatly in another room.

One of our favourite places to visit whenever we get a spare evening, especially in the winter. Vast selection of games, something for every kind of player whether new to board games or experienced. Service via the iPad works really well and is a great way of doing things. Food is pretty basic but does the job and isn’t bad at all, after all, the main focus when coming here is to enjoy playing the games and the atmosphere. Can be quite pricey at times, would be good if you could get the game playing fee free if spending over a certain amount. Happy to pay a bit of a premium though as independent cafe and the games aren’t going to pay for themselves. The most recent night we attended there was a bit of an issue with someone who was drunk and disorderly and clearly not in the right frame of mind. The man was quite heavily disabled so staff initially helped him with compassion and then he started verbally abusing the poor staff for literally no reason. So kudos to the staff member who had to deal with it as wasn’t easy at all. Will of course keep coming back, just wish there was another branch in Maidstone - maybe one day🤞🏼 Show less

Top place to go - huge selection of board games, themed cocktails, decent food & great event nights - staff are lovely. Their social nights are a brilliant place to meet like minded people and make friends. Beginner or pro - it doesn't matter! Seen a lot of families with children here too - they have games suitable for 3 years olds all the way up to the most complex ones you can think of. I recommend Ultimate Werewolf, INIS & Battle for Tokyo as a good starter for 10. Service can be a little slow at times but they are an independent shop with a limited amount of staff - this is to be expected - and the quality of the evening makes up for it. Show less

The concept is great - book a table ahead of time (they may accept walk-ins if there's space), - then order your food via an iPad that they give you to use. - next you pop into the next room to select a board game and bring it back to your table to play - Your food/drinks arrive as you play and you can order more refreshments via the iPad for the duration of your 3 hour booking - You have a great time and pay when you're done. Great idea that is well-executed! Show less
