A friend wanted me to join them for a TTRGP game but I couldn't but I still wanted to check it out. I can say I am very happy I did! Booked a table upstairs and even got moved to the larger table by staff as it was available and my party was quite large. I will be going again for sure! If you are looking for a place to run DND or similar game I cannot recomend enough their upstairs tables!

Great gaming location that also has a cafe. The guys are really friendly and always a pleasure to chat to. Event nights like open mic and Quiz night, but beat of all is Monday night D&D.

Brilliant spot! Fantastic brownies, great coffee, friendly atmosphere. Great spot to play Warhammer using their terrain or choose one of their other many, many games. Highly recommend

I wish we had somewhere like this closer to home! We visited on the way to Belfast. On social media, the games look more focussed on D&D, that kind of thing but there were so many options for kids, families and every other genre! We went with our two kids and loved it. Super well priced and overall a great experience. Will return next time I'm in the area!
