Fantastic place, not only for gamers. Freindly atmosphere, good food, and a lot of place for games.

Really nice place to play games and the staff are always lovely, but I would go more often if they offered more vegan options

Ordered a booster box from them. Had to email them a week later asking why it hadn't dispatched, only to be told it was a stock error on the website and they didn't have any. Had they refunded me after a day or two that'd be fair enough, but they sat on my money for a week until I got in touch with... Read more

The people who work here are the nicest. I'm very shy and nervous while trying to find people to play Magic The Gathering EDH with, and the staff always help me out and make me feel welcome.

We were looking for a nice place to play games for the afternoon and were welcomed with open arms into a lovely game of Nemesis with some regulars! Absolute delight of a place and people, and good food to keep you going!

Ordered a few bulky things for Christmas, didn't expect dispatch and delivery to be so lightning fast! Why bother with a certain South American river when you can trust in Glasgow's friendliest board game shop? Have been coming here on and off for years, glad to see them back to full strength.

The owner goes out his way to chat to everyone that comes into the shop, there is a library of roleplay games for customers to look through. The sales stock is impressive as well. I had a coffee when I was in and it eas very nice. All in all a good game shop.

Was in for the first time looking for Pokemon TCG, Didnt have alot of stock but super friendly staff. Found items and prices for ETBs. Even explaining the shop and inviting me along to events. Would highly recommend for anyone starting any cards.

Friendly and welcoming staff and a place that's provided a home for Glasgow's Fighting Game Community on Thursdays for the last couple of years. Provides a great space, community and atmosphere for other hobbies like trading card games and DnD. Great stuff.

West End Games is a cafe with tasty drinks and food, a great boardgame selection available to play in store on the shelf for £5 which comes with a free drink and no time limit; as well as board games, books, cards and figurines available for purchase! They have a lot of exciting events throughout the week, hosted by staff or the community, my favourite is Barmaid's guild which is D&D or other tabletop role play games primarily for women or non binary people! It is always a fun time and you get to play a variety of games you would not have been able to try previously! This review could not be left without talking about the amazing staff, who are always kind and friendly! The staff and the community makes this the best place for me in Glasgow. Thank you, West End Games! Show less

One of the board games cafes in Glasgow I go to, this one is one of the nerdy ones, but offers some fast foods drinks, good tables (not all board game cafes have those) and a lot of light, which is important if you can't see shite in dim light like me.

Avoid at all costs – blatant scalpers and rude service These guys are scalpers, plain and simple. They inflate prices massively on almost everything they sell. For example, a pack of Mega Evolution goes for over £6+, and Prismatic Evolutions Figure Collections are listed for £120+ when the actual RR... Read more

Avoid at all costs – blatant scalpers and rude service These guys are scalpers, plain and simple. They inflate prices massively on almost everything they sell. For example, a pack of Mega Evolution goes for over £6+, and Prismatic Evolutions Figure Collections are listed for £120+ when the actual RRP is only £69.99. That’s beyond unreasonable. To make things worse, the owner is extremely rude and unprofessional when you ask simple questions about what’s in stock. Instead of being helpful, he acts like you’re wasting his time. Save your money and your patience — don’t shop here. Show less
