This is a Memphis gem, a true diamond in the rough. Currently the ONLY Memphis board game bar, the owner of this place is a true board game geek. Her husband and mother help run the counter and bar, and what started as a few columns of about 400 games has grown over the past years to a walls-long collection of what will soon be over 1800! Be sure to check their website if there's a game you want to play, but even if they don't have it, they'll have something similar. The regulars here are super nice and happy to show anyone how things work or a new game when needed. The owners are both great fans of local breweries, and there's a constantly rotating list of taps that change practically every week. Notably, I went to NYC's Hex and Co recently (listed as the largest board game bar in Manhattan), and I was shocked (and happy) to see that Board to Beers actually has more games than they do now. Be sure to sign up for the 1st and 3rd Wednesday D&D night on their Facebook (maybe the Monster of the Week...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAfter I learned the hard way that Mollie Fountaine can be a crowded, expensive place during party season especially, my dear friend, Izzy, was kind enough to recommend this place as an alternative for me and my boyfriend. I must say that I am quite pleased with what Iāve experienced thus far.
Not only is the food delicious (albeit a bit pricy), but I also love their selection of beer and games and the fact that everyone who comes into Board to Beers is very kind and loves for every stranger in the room to partake in a game.
Sadly, because I usually work Wednesdays through Sundays from 2 pm to 11 pm, coming to Board to Beers is a luxury for me. However, for those who can make it during those times, Iād say that you all would have good luck coming here and making many happy memories here.
Cheers to this wonderful family-friendly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad a blast with my girlfriend here. We played Ticket to Ride and Jumanji. They have a huge selection of games and beer, so I highly recommend giving this place a visit. If not to hang out with your friends, then at least have a date night here with your significant other. Its fun to play board games you've never played and have the shared experience of figuring them out.
Jumanji was a trip. Theres almost no down time. You're constantly rolling dice to save the other player from sinking in quicksand or being eaten by hyenas. Highly recommend if you don't like waiting around for the other...
