    The "call for ordering/help" device
    Simpreet K.

    Our group of 11 people had such a fun evening. We played about 3 games in about 2 hours. The people who explained the games to us did a pretty good job. The games themselves were very engaging and appealed to most people in our group. The vibe is cool, laid-back and almost nerdy- I love it. The warm mulled spices apple cider drink was particularly nice on a cold Austin evening. The food options were ok, could be better though. I understand that the focus is not on food but on the games. Overall, such a great experience. Highly Recommend.

    I love Vigilante so much! Such a unique + creative concept and gorgeous space. The pub food, drinks, and dessert are outstanding. Their chocolate chip brown butter cookies are probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. They boast an impressive selection of board games for various party sizes. Reservations can be made for two hour blocks of time, during which you can play as many games as you like. They have "game masters" who do an amazing job of making rounds and explaining rules of your chosen game, which greatly simplifies game play and allows you to optimize your time. I've been a few times with different sized groups and always had a blast. I believe there's a set charge per person for game play, in addition to food and drinks purchased. However if an entree is purchased, it either waived or discounts the game play fee. Highly recommend for a fun evening out!

    I'm conflicted. We had a 5p reservation and we got there maybe at 4:52p, by the time we were seated and realized there was a HH menu plus we inquired as soon as the server got to us but it had turned 5p on the dot. So the server's reaction to us asking if we made it on time for HH was a cold and hard NO. I mean, I understand but we had never been here before so I just think it could be a pass or maybe allow one drink only. Or just a little more finesse with the no. We had about 3-4 different servers/waiters throughout our 2-hour stay. It didn't feel consistent. I think we were asked who was our server like two, three times plus our food order too. Drinks and food were above average and it went well with the bar food theme. It was dark inside to create a dungeon like ambiance with adequate lighting to be able to play . Lo-fi music in the background for the entire time we were there, with some renaissance style beats here and there but overall, it was nice to have background music without lyrics or popular music that could be distracting. As we were leaving, the place got more and more guests. I really liked the "game menu" layout plus the game masters. Five stars for that. They had an ability to concisely explain the games to us. We played a total of 3 games. The condition of one of the clue/detective games, which appeared to be popular by its wear and tear, was hard to play because you couldn't see some of the critical pictures on it. It probably should be taken out of commission or address the missing images before putting it out in circulation again. I would go back and give it another shot, for sure. I truly love a game night, typically at my house, so I really like the concept this place carries. It's wholesome, you can have a drink and fried pickles plus do an activity. Maybe the experience will be better the next time around.

    Looking for a fun experience with delicious food and drink? Then Vigilante is for you! This place is so fun to go for a game night or just for food and drinks. I went and did not play any games since I did not realized it was a gaming bar but saw their game selection and it was amazing. As well, their staff is super nice and attentive, the whole concept of having a button for whenever you need to be helped, is great so you do not have to wave down your server.

    Azul game

    I was so excited when my friend suggested us to go to Vigilante for a board game night. I have seen so many Instagram reels and wanted to experience it for myself. We came on a Wednesday night and were immediately sat. There was a parking lot as well as a parking garage that they validate parking for. The dark interior and lighting are so intimate, and the board games are stored on beautiful floor to ceiling bookcases. It is $7 for endless play on Wednesdays, and if you order an entree any night, the game night fee is $6. I ordered the Vigilante burger, which comes with the choice of fries, pretzels or a side salad. We played Sh*t Happens, Boop, Isle of Cats, and Azul. We asked for the game master to come teach us how to play the game. There was a little bit of a wait, but the game master was great at explaining the rules and giving us tips. Whenever needed help or wanted to switch games, we pressed the button at our table to turn on the light above our table, alerting the staff we were requesting assistance. All the staff members were so friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this gastropub for a fun date night or friend gathering, and I love how they serve food and drinks!

    Three years later and we still drive the 3+ hours a few times a year to visit this gamer's paradise! The updated menu is delish and I'm so happy with the rotating game library and game master staff to keep teaching us new games. Please open a DFW location

    Inside, Friday night. Place was bumpin!
    Sean M.

    What an awesome concept! Came here got husbands 34th bday. Part of 5. Rented the table for 2.5 hrs - which was definitely not long enough, I think next time we'll do 3 or 4 hrs! Parking was pretty easy at the parking garage, and vigilante validates parking for up to 4 hours so that's awesome too. The food is kind of like small bites, so we ordered a few things here and there. Tab was actually lower than we thought it be! The alcoholic (or even the virgin cocktails) is where they get you in terms of price. From what I ended up eating, I'd give the food a 3.9/5. We brought our own games but also "checked out" one of theirs. We had such a blast, and definitely see ourselves returning!

    Mushroom Burger, truffle fries
    Brian C.

    What a fun time! Solid food, a great selection of games, and helpful staff. I enjoyed my mushroom burger, and the fries + fried pickles were good too. I sort of wish I got the caesar salad since I felt bogged down the rest of the night from the heavy food. Not their fault though! We played a few really fun games that I hadn't heard of before, and the staff were very helpful when explaining how to play. Great date or hangout spot!

    Chicken Cesar and fries
    Jacob E.

    Set at the bar Friday night, easy to grab a seat and grab a quick bite to eat. The prices are really fair. I would recommend the Chicken Caesar at $12 its a great deal. The bartenders were quick to serve us and teach us about the 200+ board games they offer to play while you are there. There are a lot of tables as well as bar

    I hadn't been here since pre-COVID times, but I was glad to see so many of my favorite things still there. The food was good even though I missed the slider options from before. Our server and the game master were both very helpful. It was easy to make a reservation. We had to park in the garage but Vigilante will validate for you. I love the casual ambiance as it contributes to a fun night of gaming with friends.

    Christopher C.

    Big fan of the service and games. For $5 unlimited game play, it's a hell of a good time. The finger foods are good and not too distracting from the game at hand. I'd recommend any of the foods/drinks, but I'd be remiss if I didn't encourage you to check out "awkward guests or coup" Side note: parking garage charges you after 2 hours Cheers!

    How does renting tables work?

    Also, you won't be charged the $5 fee if you stay under an hour or, which is what I do with my girlfriend, is Tuesday night's are FREE (no charge no matter how long you stay).

    Is this a family place or just adults?

    I wouldn't take really young children here, but it's totally fine for 12 and up, I think. They do serve alcohol, as a note.

    Is it true that it's free if you come in costume?

Kolaches which was a savory and the everything bagel was something I loved with the cream cheese. Must-try! The order came around $20.

We arrived and they have a great patio, had live music and there were quite a few people there. We elected to go inside since we had been out all day and we ordered beers, some deserts, and I ordered an 'Ol Fashioned. Oddly enough, great chocolate and a fantastic 'Ol Fashioned go well together. However, the brownie was really dry - seemed to a a few days old, and the drink was just OK. They indicated it would be made with a mix so that probably my bad. My friend had a couple of beers and another dessert but his feedback was the same. I would have liked to stay longer and come back on another night to see if my first visit was an anomaly. I would think they normally have better drinks and food than we had on our first visit!

    I'm not one of those people who updates a review each time I visit the same place. Unless of…read morecourse, it's warranted (ie bad service or better service). This warrants an update because my initial review was nothing more than a couple of sentences and written long after I'd visited multiple times. Brewtorium opened back in 2018 and I've been several times during our twice yearly trips to visit family (prior to relocating to ATX). Ok, so... Going from four stars to five and I'll explain in a minute. First, I want to say how incredible the service is. As are the pours and food. Never once have we had a bad experience. It's a really welcoming spot with stellar beers. I love that they offer a mix of food options from traditional German brewery food to traditional American brewery and pub food. Here is why we're going up a star: during our latest visit, I walked over to our table after ordering and spilled my beer everywhere. Before even getting a sip lol. A staffer immediately came over with towels, cleaning products, and a fresh replacement beer. All without making me feel foolish or embarrassed. Next, we attended an event in the private room and it was perfect. Service continued to be above and beyond. Finally, I'd like to thank the brewmaster and brewers for "The Lost Mambo" and to beg that it stay on regular rotation and not seasonal. Gang, this is the greatest beer!! My absolute favorite. It's an Italian pilsner (only 5.5 abv) w/lemon biscotti. Wow. Wow. Wow. One of my fave breweries. Hands down. Support local. Drink beer...or not (they've got mocktails and n/a beer options).

    Great beer, great vibes, great food, fast service…read more We visited recently and had such a good time. While busy, we got through the line incredibly fast, had a lovely interaction with a staff person, and got a seat at a large table with no issue. We ordered a variety of salads (literally so good) and fries as well as flights of beer. I was really impressed with the beer (I had one with electrolytes that was so good)! Definitely a good spot for a group. Great place!
