First, if you're planning to come here on the weekend, RESERVE YOUR SPOT ONLINE AHEAD OF TIME!!! And I'll tell you why... My friends and I decided on Friday afternoon that we wanted to come here the next day (Saturday). Me, being the planning-type person that I am, immediately hopped onto their website. I found a tab for "reservations", so I checked it out as I had a feeling that they might be pretty busy on the weekend. Sure enough, for our group of 6, they only had availability between 11am and 4:45pm or at 9pm. That was it! We were hoping for an evening slot, but we all decided to settle on the 4:45pm slot and just go have dinner afterwards. Before continuing, it's important to note that each person pays $17 for unlimited use of the board games for a 3-hour duration. When booking online, you have to pay for the entire group's "game time pay" up front in order to get the reservation. So, since it was 6 of us, I went ahead and paid $102 to secure our spot. **They are clear that they do NOT do refunds so make sure you can actually make the time slot you are booking!! Upon arrival, we gave them my name and they showed us to our reserved table. They gave us some quick instructions on what to do with the games when we were done with them, then they left us to have fun! So why is a reservation important? Because I can't tell you how many people we watched get turned away because they showed up and the place was already at max capacity! Our table happened to be right in front of both the door and the counter, so we watched a constant flow of people walk in and then immediately walk back out. Another important thing to note is that they don't allow outside food or drinks, but they also don't serve food... They have coffee drinks available to order as well as a few smoothie options and bottled/canned beverages. Additionally, they had some bagged chips and a few pastries, but that was it. So if you book a slot during dinner or lunchtime, you might want to ensure you eat beforehand as you won't be eating a meal here. The setup inside was a little chaotic. Very crowded with little space between the tables. Also, the staff seemed to not really care to want to be there. They weren't really attentive to the patrons there nor to each other, for that matter. At one point, the trash can was overflowing and I watched one staff member struggle with it and yelling for help but no one came to assist her... Final verdict: If you love board games, definitely come check this place out!!! Reserve your spot ahead of time and bring at least 3-5 people with you for maximum enjoyment!

My friend really wanted to get something and I was so confident and lucky that I managed to walk away with two stuffed animals. The staff is very helpful and friendly and once you win something will help you exchange it for something else if you want.

So, I wasn't really sure what to expect walking into a place dedicated entirely to them, but wow, I'm officially a convert! The minute we stepped inside, the staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. Since I'd never been to the store before, they took the time to explain exactly how everything worked, which I totally appreciated. If you're paying with cash, there's a machine right there to grab your tokens, or if you only have a card, they have an ATM or a staff member can easily help you out. Each game is around three tokens per turn. They have a fantastic selection of games and the prizes including adorable plushies, cool little wallets, fun socks, keychains, and more. But here's the feature that really made my day: if you actually win a prize, you have the option to trade it out for another prize that's in that specific machine! It removes all the guesswork and guarantees you walk away with something you genuinely love. I ended up walking away with several prizes, and honestly, it was so much fun! It totally unlocked my inner kid. If you're looking for a great, cheerful way to spend an afternoon or evening, I loved coming here and I'd happily come back again any time. Five stars!

I love this concept for a Pokémon store! Such a cute space and it's so aesthetic inside too…read more The best part is the pack bar, where you can see all of their packs laid out and basically order like you're ordering drinks off a menu. It's such a fun setup. I will say don't expect to get anything near retail price on packs -- you're obviously paying market price here -- but if you have some money to spend and just want to test your luck, this is such a fun place to do it. I also bought a promo Snorlax card and they sold it to me literally at market price, so I was super happy about that too. No crazy markup! The staff is super nice as well. The guy who helped me out even recommended a few packs, and I ended up pulling an SIR Squirtle out of Scarlet and Violet! I think it's one of the top chase cards, so I left the store on such a high. Highly recommend if you're into Pokémon at all!

Select the packs you want and they'll get you those packs. What is pretty cool too is they give you a few sleeves and top loaders incase you get any hits, which we didn't. Some of the packs are kind of decently priced, but the thing that sucks for me is that the packs were priced pretty higher than market price. If the prices were a little cheaper then I feel like it would make this place a little more enjoyable. If you're expecting to rip some of the newer stuff, you can get a decent deal but anything older is way more expensive. Overall this was fun to come to as this aesthetic isn't something you come across too often. Definitely worth a trip even if you don't plan to buy anything. But I'm pretty sure you'll buy a pack or two.

The location is convenient right off of 295, and it's definitely a fun place to visit! In contrast, the prices here are quite astronomical at times, especially if you are in the market for anything related to Pokemon TCG. Ever since COVID-19, prices have skyrocketed due to the scalping crisis. Top Deck Games is no stranger to listing their Pokemon inventory at scalping level prices. If you're looking for anything that is unrelated to pokemon, I'd certainly give top deck a chance! The service here is hit and miss. Some days they are on the ball and others you're a ghost in front of the counter. This also relates to how busy the shop can be as well. So in summary, awesome place to look around and pick up a board game or two. I just wouldn't advise you to come here for Pokemon.

We played a version of Ticket to Ride that was new for us. They have food as well and although we didn't order anything but drinks, the food we did see being ordered looked good. The bathroom is clean. The tables and floors are clean and strong air conditioning too! We had a really good time.

While very promising in its…read moreconcept, as modern society is in dire need of more third spaces, Hex and company fails to deliver in every conceivable metric imaginable. I came to this establishment with my boyfriend and things got off to questionable start immediately. The server at the front required us to make a reservation, ok no problem. What's questionable about this is that there was clearly space available for two scrawny people such as ourselves. Whatever, man, do your thing. When the time came for us to get seated we were blindsided by a $15 per person surcharge, what the heck! It would have been courteous to have mentioned that when we made our reservation 45 minutes prior. I realize that one cannot contribute to malice what could also be contributed to stupidity, but it came across as a way of swindling and strong arming us. We tried finding a game of dominoes to play while we waited, but alas, there were none available for purchase at the front counter, no big deal, we were certain we would find a game of dominos in the seating area below as there were multiple gargantuan shelves stacked to the ceiling, filled to the brim, practically bursting with board games, looked great from afar. When the time came for us to sit, an aura of sheer panic and despair began to set in. We couldn't find a single game of dominos, no big deal, we were sure that one of the servers would help us out. PSYCHE! We asked multiple servers to help us find a game of dominoes, and they either didn't help, gave confusing advice or a combination of both, very cool! You would presume that people employed to work at a board game themed cafe would know where certain board games are, but no, not this fine establishment! In fact the organization of the entire establishment was severely lacking. To begin with, the tables where people are engaged in board games are practically pressed against the gargantuan and bursting shelves of board games, this makes browsing extremely truncated! If you are introverted, you may burst into flames because you are forced to hover over strangers and interrupt their board game to get what you're looking for, that is of course if you're lucky enough to find it. For example, a heated game of uno was sheepishly interrupted by a stranger seeking something behind my boyfriend. Every guest is a hostage in this establishment, because of the owner's incompetence, very cool. Since we nor any of the disheveled nerds employed in this establishment could find a game of dominoes, we opted instead to play a game of chess, simple enough right? not at Hex and Company! The first set was missing multiple pieces and was damaged to the point of not being useable, the second was some niche four player "update" of chess, which is an insult in its own right. Third time was the charm though, and we played some good games. The food was pricy but inoffensive. The water service, despite giving patrons agency, was severely lacking in the fact that one could only use the smallest cup imaginable, what the heck! Upon leaving the establishment, a server told me to, and I quote "have a good one" how could I possibly have a good one, when you couldn't even find a game of dominoes for us to play. Absolutely ridiculous, they really rolled a 1 on this one.

From the moment you book your bay online to the second you step into your hitting station, everything is smooth and well organized. I really appreciate how easy it is to reserve a spot, especially on weekday mornings when prices are more affordable and the space feels calm and relaxed. The views of the Hudson River make it a unique experience. There's something very satisfying about practicing your swing while watching boats go by in the background. The automated ball system keeps things flowing without interruption, and every detail feels designed to enhance your game without distractions. What really makes the difference, though, is the atmosphere. Whether I go solo to clear my mind or bring friends along for a more social outing, I always end up having a great time. The food and drinks are surprisingly good, and having them delivered right to your bay is such a convenient touch. I also love that the booths have heating, which makes this a great place to visit any time of year. Overall, this is one of those spots I keep coming back to. If you're looking for a place to unwind, improve your swing, or simply enjoy the views, I can't recommend Chelsea Piers Golf Club enough.
