Good interesting place with it's cozy atmosphere. A lot of games to play or buy. Normal snacks and drinks(nothing very special but there is a good variety of them and they are tasty. Well, it's a gaming place - not a restaurant, yes?). Just a little bit high prices I think. Polite, friendly people. And they have a point-using-membership. We definitely will return here time to time. In a couple, or with friends.

Such an amazing place for a date night, group hang out, or family outing. We needed a last minute reservation change from 6 to 8 people and the staff were extremely accommodating and found a way to find us a spot. Service was great all night, the waiter was attentive, helpful, and very aware of dietary restrictions. Another employee helped us find other party games for our group size, which was appreciated! Great selection of games and honestly just an amazing atmosphere. The BRC is an amazing concept that has been brought to life in a spectacular manner. Kudos to the employees and owner, they’ve made this such a great spot!

Have you ever watched classic sitcoms like Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and Cheers and wondered where those kind of hangout places exist in real life? This cafe is definitely that hidden gem for Halifax. Introduced to me by a buddy when I moved back here, it slowly turned it a regular hangout spot for our group. Admission being so affordable meant that this place served as a solace during periods of unemployment and times of financial distress. We always felt welcome and had a place to go to, especially since they were open until late. It’s a great place to go to try out board games before buying them, and they have different seating arrangements based on your group’s vibes. All the other players have also been extremely respectful, making the atmosphere feel like a big gathering of friends. Their milkshakes are fantastic, and it’s impressive how knowledgeable the staff are in the over 200 board games they have there. Been going here almost 2 years now but the absolutely wonderful service tonight by Tony made it one of our most memorable nights here! He was attentive, funny, personable and polite. Checked up on us, accommodated every request while swiftly clearing our table and engaging in friendly banter. While the service is always exceptional, Tony’s dedication stands out. It’s staff like him that always keep us coming back. When I do eventually move to another province, this is one of the things about Halifax I’ll miss the most!
