Such a fun and unique place; there is so much to do, from board games to arcade machines to gaming consoles. The food and drink are always fantastic, especially the cocktails! Recently, I tried the special edition cocktail for Pride! The staff are always friendly and happy to help with anything, from service to board games. It's a great place to meet new people while playing new and different games. I am now a frequent customer and really feel part of a welcoming and friendly community.

Great value, friendly atmosphere, really good range of games (we went with a 6 year old), drinks were nice, the only slight negative is the number of unnecessary screens playing videos of computer games, which made it hard for our 6 year old to concentrate. Nonetheless, we will definitely be back and would recommend

Fabulous little discovery while wandering through the town on a Saturday night. It was the sign for local beers, ciders, and meads that dragged us in but this is great for those who want a coffee, pizza, a read, and, of course, a game of something, of which there is almost no end of choice. Great atmosphere, friendly people running the bar/food area, and a genuinely nice-feeling spot that just also happens to do some cracking drinks.

Easily my favourite place to go in Basingstoke. Great food, cocktails and beer options, all at a very reasonable price. There's always something going on, and the games options are unmatched. The chilled out atmosphere makes it the perfect place to play games with friends, or join an event and make some new ones!

Loved the vibes here. We had a good time. So much so that we ended up staying for dinner, which was also good. Very decent burger, good pizza. Fresh, not freezer pizza! We played several games. Dead of winter was new to me, I would recommend it. :) Only the toilets were really gross like they hadn't been cleaned in several days. So I hope they'll look into that.

Been coming here since it opened. Great food, great atmosphere and so many games you could spend weeks here and still not play them all. Absolutely incredible.

What a brilliant resource for Basingstoke! Martin and Scott have set up a really welcoming, friendly space for gamers. The prices are all great value. The staff are really inclusive and understand about people with special needs. I can't recommend this place highly enough - the food is also really tasty. Highly recommend the chicken burger.
