I hate to leave a low review for an independent games bar (we definitely need more of these spaces!) but unfortunately we didn't have a good experience here. Main issues: • Drinks took a long time. I get that smoothies take a bit longer, but a heads-up about the 15-20 minute wait would've been helpful, especially since the rest of us were just having bottled drinks. Also the smoothie was warm on arrival. • My friend ordered a Kopparberg cider but got a (warm) Bulmers instead. When she went to sort it out, she was told they don't serve Kopparberg anymore. This should've been mentioned when ordering, not after charging and opening the bottle, and she ended up stuck with a drink she doesn't like. • The downstairs space is a bit barren compared to the (super cute) upstairs area. We played one game and half of us left. • Our remaining friends were asked to leave at 10pm, but Google says it's open till midnight. This needs updating. On the plus side, the upstairs space was nice, they have free board games, and the drinks were reasonably priced!
