Mix a huge array of board games, uncommon offer of non alcoholic beverages plus beer and wine. Good crowd and attentive staff. What a great place to meet with a date or a group of friends. Check It out! read more

Was part of an official iello event here tonight as a guest. Loved the store staff, the grub, the unique craft beers, the cafe drinks, the chill but professional vibe, and the neat clean organized up to date game library. 100% good times. ...and lots of Steves. Though that was just coincidence. read more

Very fun! The place is large and clean, lots of games to choose from! Not exactly sure of the $6 policy... We ordered drinks but each drink wasn't $6, so our tab was only about $7 for two people. We didn't borrow games from them either, so not how it works. Anyway, we had a great time and highly recommend it to everyone! read more

Tabletop Game Cafe is one of my favorite places in Columbus! I'm a board game fanatic and a good friend introduced me to Tabletop Game Cafe a few months ago. It's our favorite place to meet up, catch up, share some drinks, and play games. It's well-lit and feels cozy and homey, which makes it a great place to come and stay for a while. Not only that, but they have a great game selection, so it's a good place to come and play a few games. They do require that you spend at least $6 on food/drink as a sort of library fee for using their varied selection of games, but since they offer coffee, tea, wine, beer, and food, that's easy to do! Their empanadas are delicious (and include vegan/vegetarian options) and they have a decent beer selection as well. What really makes Tabletop Game Cafe stand out is their staff. My 16 year old sister wanted to have her birthday party at Tabletop Game Cafe and the staff were incredibly accommodating and great to work with while we were there. They went out of their way to make it a great celebration for her, which meant a lot to me! They're truly awesome people and very knowledgeable about games. read more

Had such a great time! Good food, good beer, good friends, and of course, good games. This is a no-brainer! I wish I lived in town. I'd be there on the regular! read more

This is my favorite place to go in Columbus! They have a great drink selection for coffee and booze. Their game selection is the best hands down in they city. The staff is all helpful, friendly, and educated in gaming. Always a blast. read more

Great selection of games. Smaller, cosier venue than Kingmakers. No cover. Good selection of games, drinks and snacks. And very good people running the place. Our kids were there for 8 hours one day. read more

Very good variety of games, and decent enough food and drinks. I'd love to give this a fifth star for a slightly more expanded menu, a few things that are a bit easier to eat while you are actually playing, and a few things that are easier to share. The little snacks are good, but 1/4 of them are a little stale (this is my opinion on most mixed dried snacks, so I might be pickier than most. Overall really fun games, friendly staff, a great place to spend an evening with a group. Great for groups of mixed ages and interests as well. read more

This place has many games to play, friendly staff, and is well lit and not at all hovel-like. The problem here is that you don't pay for the games, you don't pay for the friendly faces, you pay for the food. "It's how we keep the lights on," our very helpful greeter told us. The food isn't something I would ever pay for again. They basically only offer snacks and mini homemade hot pockets they call empanadas. Two bagel bite sized hot pockets for 6 bucks. Sodas for 2.50 that are all fancy cane sugar deals you could get from across the street at North Star. 9 dollars for what I wouldn't even call an appetizer, plus the pressure to tip (tip jar is as big as the cash register, and they had one of those auto tip calculators on the payment screen with the employees staring at you as you fill out the form with big puppy dog eyes as they pray you'll hit the 30% button) makes the whole affair feel like a modern airplane flight with extra charges thrown all over instead of a relaxing and fun place to be. "We don't have a library fee" was said so many times while I was in the store, but that's exactly what they have, it's just their fee comes with a little tiny snack. 5 dollars to play the games would be fine, then stock soda and foods for people who want that experience, but pretending like you are a better bargain than a place that has a library fee while insisting that we make a minimum food purchase of 6 dollars for food I don't want...seems like a non bargain to me. There are so many local game stores that are happy to have your business buying their games, have free libraries to play, are clean and inviting (beyond the board screams for recognition here as well as pack rat and even the soldiery if you have a much looser idea of clean and inviting) and allow you to drink and eat your food or buy a snack from them that this place really seems redundant. I love games, I hope they succeed because more and more stores means more and more players and that's great, but I will not be coming in to pay to play even if I get some crappy food with my meeples. read more

I've been to Tabletop a few different times now, and I definitely see myself returning in the future. They have a great selection of games, both for in-store play and for purchase. Additionally, it's a nice spot to visit during the day to get some work done. And the staff is A+++++. They definitely understand the necessity of keeping us caffeinated. Though I would love to see a little expansion on the food side of the menu, the empanadas they have are pretty tasty (and definitely affordable). read more

I cannot say enough great things about this gaming cafe located in Clintonville. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and more than willing to help you get your game set up and explain the rules if you're having a hard time grasping them. The food selection is pretty solid (and tasty) and the beer/wine selection is top notch (Jackie O - nuff said). You definitely get a good vibe from this place - it's very warm and welcoming and doesn't have the typical "back of the store" feel most game rooms do. The selection of games to play is vast and divided up by age groups plus they have a nice small selection to buy. Also - they host TONS of events for the casual gamer and hard core alike. If you're into table top gaming at all, this is the place for you to try. read more

I have never entered a more friendly space to get together and play any game with friends or strangers. Everyone here is very friendly but we'll leave you alone if you just want to enjoy the food, snacks, a pop or beer. The owners and employees are well versed in different games and enjoy talking about all games old and new. The gaming library consists of so many different genres and playstyles for anyone to just grab off the shelf to use. I'm currently watching multiple families play together, the children all together and the adults playing their own. I would definitely recommend coming here just to try it out. read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood!! My girlfriends were eating dinner nearby and we walked in to a nice fun space with great games and tasty hot chocolate! I definitely want to return and try more games. read more

We had a great time visiting this board game cafe and played some cool games, like Ubongo! They had tasty beers and coffee drinks both along with snacks and empanadas. Their atmosphere is very relaxed and super open-minded and extremely welcoming. Definitely a great spot to try out new games or solid classics. We love board games but this is an awesome hobby that can easily be spread to friends with this great new business! read more

Fun place to hang out. The owner taught us some new games - Alchemy and Lotus. I really like the spinach and cheese empanadas. A great addition to Clintonville. read more

Excellent experience! More like a coffee shop than a game store, which is nice. Clean store, friendly employees, great coffee. Food offerings included non-messy nuts and dried fruit, empanadas, and a wide variety of specialty soft drinks. They even let you start a tab. Lots of games to play or you can bring your own (which is what my group did). Will definitely be back. read more

My experience is that TableTop is exactly what Columbus has been missing all of these years. Terrific selection of games, helpful staff, excellent Stauf's coffee and killer empanadas and other snacks. Highly recommend for family outings! read more

This place has amazing empanadas. I tried 4 different ones and they are all great. While you are waiting for them, you should have an americano and the fun trail mix selection. read more

Very strange. My son (16) went there today with 3 friends all about the same age. They quietly played games for several hours and bought some food. They are well-behaved kids and weren't rowdy or anything. They were told that if they wanted to come back, they would need to bring supervision. Really? Needless to say they will not be back, with or without supervision. read more

Our family stopped by to check out the games and menu, and we were delighted with our experience! The staff was helpful, engaging, and knowledgeable, the range of board games was impressive, and the treats were tasty! We will be back often and with friends! read more

Got the ham and cheese empanada. I must say I'm not a fan. One had a large piece of ham gristle on it. I really like the concept though.

What a great place. Love the staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The location is good. Parking is easy.

Great coffee, great people, great games, great atmosphere, great food. 100% the best place to game in the city!

the staff was kind and the food and drinks were yummy and reasonably priced! there were more games than i could have imagined there and i don't think we played one game that i had ever seen before which was fun and refreshing! read more

Great place! Prices are more than reasonable. The staff is super friendly and willing to teach you how to play games. Try the buffalo flavored peanuts - delicious! read more

Wonderful staff, very funny and welcoming. Delicious empanadas. Fantastic selection of games as well as drinks. Will be back!
