    What a cool place! We visited a friend in Edmonds area for my husbands birthday. It was a great escape for the desert heat! That being said, we were looking for something fun to do one afternoon and being big board game lovers, Around the Table Game Pub seemed like such a perfect find! They do take reservations online to reserve tables in two hour increments for game sessions, but also have ample walk in seating outside and inside. In addition to being a board game pub they offered lots of varies games for sale or other world building accessories. They seemed to have used and new games available. Their menu featured plentiful of coffee options, beers, kombucha, a few menu items such as corn dogs and waffles fries and ice cream. They even had Blue Moon?! I felt like i was back in Michigan! One of the employees joked how they got various unique flavors in that sometimes were location specific, so definitely a fun surprise. We ended up visiting them twice, one for a mid morning game session and one for an afternoon. It was such a great way to past the time and they seem to have a great presence in the community. They have various events going on throughout the month. If you are interested in board games or want to get started, they seem like a great spot to start! I also loved that they did not have a cover charge, such as some game shops have, unless you order, which I do understand and I am sure helps with use and overhead of wear and tear on the games, but they seem to be a community gem and get ample support. Would definitely visit again! Service was great and everyone was so friendly on both of our visits.

    Thursday Board Game Night

    Around the Table is a friendly board gaming store that is always bustling with events! They have their own Discord and when I asked way back if there was a regular board game night, they added it to the weekly schedule and it's been going ever since. It felt really awesome to have that direct connection to the people running the store and be heard like that. They save tables for events and you can also reserve a table online if you'd like since it's pretty small overall. Everyone I've met - both the other people attending the board game night and the staff - have been super friendly. Staff will come around and chat about games when they have a moment since they also serve some basic eats & drinks on top of checking out people buying games. They are also SO NICE about letting you bring in food from other restaurants! I went through a time where I was SUPER SENSITIVE to dairy and gluten and couldn't have anything on their menu so I was very thankful that they even advertise outside restaurant food is ok! I recommend making another purchase from them (like a drink or game) if you take advantage of this. I will always buy a board game from here first vs big-box. A great local shop to support!

    Someone stop me or I won't stop gushing about this place. Likely one of my favorite spots in the surrounding Seattle area. The staff are all super helpful and friendly, and you might just want to chat them up if it's your first time because of how many amazing things this place provides! They have beer on tap, really solid savory snacks, and if you're in the mood for big tubs of delicious ice cream that come in unique/classic flavors. After you grab a table, be sure to check out the game library to borrow from a large collection or board games. Bring a friend! Plenty of seating, though sometimes there are game events that occupy a section of the pub.

    6 Stars! Around The Table Game Pub is an exceptional game store! Just recently I was looking for a very hard to find item a playmat for a high scoring game that is no longer currently available on the primary publishers website of Fantasy Flight games, BoardGameGeek Market, Amazon or Ebay after also with those Google searching for all practical purposes none to be found anywhere...... Drum roll..... I called up Around The Table Games "To the rescue" : ) the friendly attendant on the phone told me that they had 3 of them in stock and how many would I like?! Wow awesome!!!!!!!! Conclusion: If you're looking for things that are hard to find, there is a chance that Around The Table Game Pub has it highly worth calling and asking! Rockstars!

    Waffle Fries

    I have never been to a board game pub and was blown away here. Nick was an amazing employee, super informative and welcoming. Ton of board game expansions and variants that you might never know about unless you hear about it or see it in a setting like this. There's a game library to try out different games inside, so something chill to do with friends and low cost, if at all. No cost to try out a game but there's food to share which is a great deal to sit down, snack, play games, and enjoy company. Waffle fries here are crispy and delicious by the way.

    Ube and vegan vanilla icecream
    Le T.

    I come here for the ice cream, not games. I know its funny. They have around 10 different ice cream flavors everytime. I love that its NOT those common flavors chocolate, vanilla, etc. There are ube, ginger, thai milk tea, pasion fruit, etc. Half selections are vegan ice cream and half are regular ones. I love ginger and ube the most. Everyone work there are so friendly, the guy mentioned they had competition (before covid) to find unique ice cream flavors.

    Root beer float with ube ice cream.  Really good!

    After reading another Yelp review I realized the same folks that had Blue Lightning Brewing also…read morehave Vessel Taphouse. I was very fond of Blue Lightning and was sad when they closed and came over to Vessel to see if they may have beer similar to Blue Lightning. Alas, they did not but had a generous amount of guest taps. A woman who sat several seats away from me either was the (or a) owner and vowed to get their own beer on tap again soon. But unfortunately I didn't make it back before the ownership and the space got revamped again into more of a music venue now known as Club Hektic. This is a relatively new reincarnation and I haven't been here since the change and I don't know what has changed and what has stayed the same from my visit when it was known as Vessel Taphouse. But as Vessel I did enjoy the decor quite a bit. The idea is that it was pirate themed but I walked away thinking it was more Gothic. But either way the atmosphere was sure cool! At a glimpse from pictures online it looks different inside as Club Hektic but the atmosphere still looks alluring.

    Vessel Taphouse is a dive bar but a freakin awesome dive bar. Its pirate themed! The drinks were…read moregood, bartender was chill, atmosphere was also chill but probably wild on concert nights. They have three rooms in the bar; the main bar area, a game room, and an event room for concerts and shows. Vessel is a great place to chill with friends or stop by for a drink.
