Darby's Dungeon — Local services in Jacksonville

I recently visited Darby's Dungeon and it was truly a 10/10 experience! The staff is super friendly and inviting, treating you like family from the moment you walk in. They have an amazing selection of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, and I would highly recommend trying a lavender latte with light lavender flavoring if you're a coffee lover, and for tea lovers, their earl grey flavor is a must-try!

The space is perfect for both big and small crowds, and they even accommodated our large group on the spot, which was amazing. However, if you have a group of six or more, it's best to call ahead to ensure you're set up properly. The selection of games they have is impressive, and our group had no trouble finding something to play. Although I do wish they had several more board games in their library, the games they did have were fantastic.

Darby and Taylor took amazing care of us during our visit, and we felt like valued customers throughout our entire stay. The staff openly interacted with our group, with playful jabs and jokes, which added to the overall experience. It was clear that they love what they do and are passionate about making sure their customers have a great time.

In addition to the great drinks and games, they also have an awesome choice of merchandise to browse and purchase. Overall, Darby's Dungeon is a great stop for geek group outings or for anyone looking for a fun and unique experience. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming atmosphere with great drinks, games, and merchandise. Thank you, Darby's Dungeon, for a...

There are two card and board cafes close to one another in Jacksonville: Darby's Dungeon and Java Game Haus. And for what it's worth, I think there's a lot to love about both! But if you'd ask me which one I'd choose between, I'd probably pick Darby's most of the time, and here's every reason why:

Better coffee with REAL latte art! Better alcohol selection! More private booths! Better event pricing! More involved with the community! Close to some great restaurants! Features older card boosters you often can't find anywhere else! Opens earlier! *LGBTQ+ and lactose intolerant friendly! It just feels closer-knit!

The only reasons I'd think about not going to Darby's are if Darby's doesn't have any space or if I don't feel like ordering Italian/Mexican takeout (for which Java offers more entree foods), or if I'm really craving a Java Game Haus chocolate muffin. But even then, Darby's does a better lavender latte! It's just a great place to play! If all the reasons I listed before entice you, please pick this place for your next Magic the Gathering draft or next...

Played MTG Inistrad sealed pack tournament with my son here. This place is awesome!! It's a great place to meet up and play games with friends and also meet new friends! Board games, card games, RPG, or any table game! The place does not seem big but it has long tables and booths that can accommodate a lot of gamers. There are 6 booths that can sit (I think) 7 to 8 people each. They have different events every day. I'd recommend giving them a call for the latest info on the events. They also serve drinks! I had their hot chocolate with almond milk which was very good!! Darby and her husband runs this place. She is super friendly and very helpful. She enjoys running this place and seeing people have fun! We just started playing MTG in April 2024 and my son won his games in this tournament. I lost in my games but the main thing is we all had fun!! :) Will...
