    Playing games

    1st time here with 4 adults and a 6 year old, had a good time. Lots of cute games to choose from and some nice beers on tap. They also have fresh teas, desserts and chips/soda. Me n Ed's is next door if you need real food after you leave.

    An amazing place to bring friends, play some games, and overall have a good time. Highly recommend!

    The dude and I came to Beer For The Meeples on 05/23/22 on a Monday night. We have been anticipating this place to open for months as if you know the dude and I we are totally a board game junkies. LOVE them! Plus it is walking distance to our living area so we didn't have to worry about driving which was nice if we wanted to help ourselves to several drinks. Upon entering you are greeted with a lovely atmosphere! Soft music playing in the background. There was a group in and a couple when we arrived. It was very clean inside too and organized. We walked up to the counter and the owner Wilson and his employee Collins were so wonderful and pleasant! My excitement for this place was like 9/10. Wilson introduced himself to us and gave us information about this place. With the pandemic Clovis and the Fresno area needs a place like this! Whether you come solo, group or date night this is the spot to connect, be social and meet new people who have something in common wanting A GOOD time. Wilson let us know that are options for closed play (just the people you came with) and open play (allowing others to join you). I'm such a social butterfly I enjoy playing games with a lot of people and it is fun getting to know new people. Collins helped us picked out a game and they will even offer to teach you new games as well which is nice. The dude of course picked Mouse Trap of all games! I am surprised it is for 6 years old and up as it was so complicated xD adult intervention is definitely needed but it was a fun challenge. Wilson would come over periodically and check on us along with Collins. Our drinks were delivered and my Dark Horse was so delicious!!! I really enjoyed it and it wasn't bubbly which was a plus. Went down so smooth. They also have snacks, desserts, and food. The dude and I tried the breakfast croissant which was very tasty, I gave it a 8/10. We didn't try any desserts but maybe next time. After mouse trap Wilson and Collins along with John who we met there we all played a pretty cool game. I forgot the name but it was pretty fun - it was a deep sea game. Wilson kept taking my yellow Meeple which was hilarious and made the game even more entertaining. They gave us pointers and strategies as well. The dude ended up wining. I would recommend that game ! I got too greedy and ended up not making it back to the submarine and lost all my treasure xD My only recommendation would be having a small bar area if people just want to chill and watch the games being played. Other than that It was really fun! I highly recommend this place. The dude and I will probably be regulars. You do have to pay a cover to play which is not bad and pretty affordable date, outing or hang out. Bring your friends, co workers, family if you just want to unwind from a long day! They also have gaming events if you check their Facebook page which is pretty cool! Nice to see a community of board gamers come together! Yay! Cool concept, great staff, cool owner, good drinks . Can't wait to come back again :D

    The game recommended to us, lots of fun!

    So MUCH fun! This is such a delightful place to spend time in Fresno. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted warmly. The staff took time to explain their set up and even suggested the perfect game for a party of 4, first time visitors. You pay a small fee for unlimited game use on their large gaming tables. They have so many to chose from , classic, vintage, and so many new games we had never heard of and want to try out. They have coffee , tea, and awesome, local, Craft beer on tap! We had one of our favs, Procreations Brewing. They also had some snacks and cookies for sale. We ordered me n Ed's from next door, there are quite a few close by food options. Cute game themed decor. Fun for all ages, definitely will be back.

    Great idea lace for board games and hanging out! Staff is friendly and helpful. Yummy Danishes. The vibe is fun and cool and not overly loud. I'm definitely coming back.

    See all

    Ambiance was great, although would be nice if only board and no video game players.

    I've been here a few times and my last visit was just ok, this time around it was pure bliss…read more My wife and I took advantage of a kid free day and some beautiful weather and enjoyed a few sips on their back patio. This is just a beer bar, so beers and seltzers only. I went with the Crow and Wolf Ocean Blast seltzer; a blue coconut, mango, pineapple, and lime beverage. Insanely good and refreshing on a hot afternoon. My wife went a peach seltzer that was just as tasty. We sat in the backyard area, that offers plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a ordering window so you don't need to head to the inside bar to order more drinks. The out area has smoking and non-smoking sections and is dog friendly, but they must be leashed. For food, we went the tri-tip BBQ pizza and a soft pretzel. The pizza was delicious and the perfect size for two people. Huge chunks of tri-tip, spicy BBQ sauce, and very cheesy. I asked for jalapenos on the side for an extra kick of heat. Right now is the perfect time to hit up this place since the weather has been so beautiful. Make sure to check their Instagram page for live music and keep supporting local!

They had lots of outside tables, lounge chairs, live music, a fire pit, and games like Jenga and corn hole. They also had a bar with beers but no cock tails. They had a little arcade area with indoor seating. We ended up playing ping pong which was fun but since it was dark they didn't have good lighting beside the one light bulb from the wall. I got a dark horse drink which was pretty good. They had small bathrooms but I liked how they decorated St Patrick's theme. They also sold food and snacks. There was a cute cat in the cafe too. The music was cool and even saw a couple people dancing. It's a nice spot to bring your friends or go on a date night.
