We were quite excited to check out the new game lounge in Midtown! We love board game cafes, and this place was great. My group, which was four adults, showed up on a Saturday after brunch, and we were greeted by Laura, who is the owner. She helped us check in and get our game bracelet passes, because she allows you to leave for food or other reasons and come back the same day with your pass. How cool is that, that she's supporting the local businesses on the same street!

Side Quest Game Lounge has a medium-sized room of games to pick from. There weren't any signs to communicate how they were organized, so I'd like to see that sometime. I love game lounges like this because you can try out games without having to spend the big price tag of buying it, and only playing it a few times at home. This is much more cost-efficient and more fun.
I saw that they had a community puzzle going, as well as 3D printers creating art. They sell snacks & drinks in case you get the munchies while you're playing. The website helps coordinate D&D campaigns, with DMs posting what they're looking for so that people can get together here. They have a few rooms you can book to have your campaign sessions. I admire that!
I had a great time, and I hope they stick around. read more
