DaniOctober 14, 2016Great gaming bar! Board games and video games. Good beers, great cocktails, friendly bar staff. They don't do food BUT you're allowed to bring food in or get it delivered! The bar staff like pizza
Simon SaintMarch 19, 2015Went here for a Midnight Resistance event, was a great vibe, but was hard to hear, what with it being a pub n all... Great spot though if you like video games!- aAugust 10, 2014Hilariously named cocktails and a great place if you like games. The multiple game arcade machines at the basement are my particular highlight.
Really fun board game and computer game shop! Spent a whole night here playing lots of great games!
Hatim AlghamdiApril 10, 2015We came here after making sure its opening hours but it was closed although the site and sign outside says they are open! And they have no number to call! Uncool 😒
Ændrew RininslandMay 12, 2015Cool pub with a nice selection of games to play. They don't let you take drinks outside, alas!
Jackson GabbardSeptember 10, 2016Great for console games. The board game collection is pretty used and abused, but having a beer and playing some Mortal Kombat is great.
Mark MakinApril 15, 2016Went for one of the VR in a bar events midweek. Good fun and highly recommended.
