I was really impressed with this gaming store. First off it's big so that have a kid of room to…read moreplay, and there is a cafe at the end of the site that has snacks foods and drinks. Pro Tip: if you order any food or drink, you can rent out any game they have on the rental shelfs for free. The have a variety of two player games, party games, strategy games, card canes, etc to rent. All the way from easy games for kids to challenging games for more demanding games. The staff at the rental counter and the cafe were the friendliest and gave excellent recommendations in games. The games they have for sale cover many popular choices but also lesser known games. They also sell gaming accessories such as D100 dice!!! Oh my! The cafe even has a 3D printed dice tower if you want to choose the fate of your food order. lol! There is limited alcohol here and the food is mostly snacks, but they do have sliders and chicken tenders, pop, liquid death, a couple of canned alcoholic drinks. For a whopping $12 I spent on food, I got to try 4 games, and.....it was karaoke night and we sang songs with random strangers in the specially reservable room they had. You could select the songs on the machine or through an app. They could use a little more variety in the song list that have but a lot of the popular suns are there. I can't wait to go back and try some more games. Parking was street parking and a little challenging but there are side streets too with street parking. The store itself had super modern and clean look, games well displayed, and nice and air conditioned on a warm day. Even the bathrooms have some hygiene products and are unisex! Oh yeah did I mention that are open late. 1am on a Friday night. I would seriously recommend this place to anyone!

The folks here are very considerate and helpful, and open to helping me bring some of my crazy ideas to life. I'm so happy specialty stores like this still exist, and I hope as a community we can continue supporting them. There is no replacement for the years of expertise these shopkeepers bring to the retail experience. There is a large parking lot in front of the store, which is convenient because the neighborhood tends to be pretty busy. And the parking enforcement can be quite unforgiving in the area.
