I love coming here for game nights or a good drink, the atmosphere is friendly and there are many many games to try. They have new drinks to try for the seasons and the regulars are always good!

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago with some friends on the weekend and had a great experience! Bartenders were all super friendly and helpful. They have lots of games to choose from and they seem to be well-maintained and taken care of. Nice selection of games as well. Can't wait to come back!

The bartender was fantastic and it was our first time there on a date night. We placed a reservation and played games while enjoying some fantastic drinks. It was a great vibe and very relaxed. Would definitely go again. It only cost $5 total play games for as long as you want.

If you're a tabletop gamer of any kind, I highly recommend checking out Side Quest Game Lounge & Bar! The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff are friendly, and it's perfect for gaming. Huge selection of tabletop games to borrow and play with your group, grid-lined dry erase marker tables, and various patron run gaming sessions nightly (check-out the on-line schedule), make it a fun stop for any and all. Plus, the food is tasty, the service is great, and the drink selection is pretty wide and creative. Also, there is pay parking via app close by, if you cannot find street parking. Grab some friends or come join a nightly group... completely worth experiencing either way!
