In 2016, a friend and I were looking for a place to participate in free RPG Day. We Googled and found Gamer's Haven - at it's first location. We'd never heard of the place and decided to check it out. We parked in the business park complex and found the location. We weren't sure what to expect but as soon as we walked in we were amazed at what we saw. Big cabinets filled with games, more cabinets filled with minis for all your table top needs, and more cabinets of rpg & wargame books! Seriously the collection here is like a crash course in the history of our nerdy hobby.
I was greeted by Dave, one of the partners who runs the place. He was immediately friendly and gave us a tour. It was a small building, at the time, but cozy and there was plenty of room to for many war games and a giant RPG table with a tv inside if digital maps are your thing (they are mine, as I can't draw to save my life). Dave explained a bit about the place; that is a membership-based club, however open to non-members who can play at a per diem cost. My friend and I were impressed and decided this place was for us. "Let's give it a try for 6 months and see how we like it," we said.
As I write this, we are on the cusp of the summer of 2022 and my membership has remained since I first started. Gamer's Haven is now a much bigger location from when it first started (well more than double the original size.) Yes, this place does have a store and it has plenty of wares. If there is anything they don't have in stock they will be sure to order it and have it for you as soon as possible.
My favorite part about this place is that it is more than a club or a store. It is a community; one I am so glad to be a part of. I have made such amazing life-long friends here, the kind that make you think how did I ever get by without these people in my life. Everyone is friendly, everyone is a nerd in someway, and we are inclusive as everyone is welcome. We love playing games and if you love playing games you should check out...
Read moreOne of the best places to game at and even just to hang out. With plenty of space for every type of game, from Warhammer to D&D and MTG and Digimon. The 24 hour access for Members is one of the best things ever created being able to set up games at anytime and not having to work around a closing schedule. The community of gamers there is one of the best and most friendly, willing to hep out new and older players with any questions they might have about any game. I have been gaming there for a year and haven't looked back no other shop compares to the environment there is at Gamer's Haven.
Most importantly It's probably the cleanest most well kept shop that I have ever been to. The restroom are always immaculate with never having to fear to use them.
So if you're looking for somewhere to game at or just to learn a new game that you've been eyeing, I recommend giving Gamer's Haven a chance, I promise you...
Read moreGamers haven is a great membership club for playing ttrpgs and table games like warhammer. I've been a member here for a few years now and I've met many new friends and have had great experiences. The club holds member events like barbecues, pot lucks, and tournaments and all of them have been great for meeting new players and getting fun games in. Everyone here is very friendly and accepting of new players, visitors, and members. If there's a game you want to play that you haven't had a chance to try it's very likely you'll find someone who will play with you. Theres also a huge collection of board games you can play that are provided by the owners to use. If you're thinking about visiting don't hesitate to ask for a tour, the owners are all very friendly and willing to...
