Board games take centre stage alongside casual dining at this lively bar and eatery, where a library of more than 300 tabletop titles pairs with burgers, fusion tacos, beers, wine, cider, and cocktails. The games are free to play while you eat and drink, provided groups settling in for more than two hours meet an average minimum spend of \$25 per person (as at 2026). On-hand game gurus help match rules or teach quick tutorials, making it as accommodating for casual two-player dates as it is for strategic gaming groups.
Set along Victoria Street West in Freemans Bay, it sits amongst 16 other dining spots within a kilometre—a stretch dominated by conventional bistros and seafood houses like Depot and Wander Café, Bistro and Wine Bar. Here, the hospitality is built around lingering over a table, trading quick table-clearing for extended play sessions. They operate split midday and evening sessions from Tuesday through Friday, pausing on Mondays. Our pick in Freemans Bay when an evening out calls for friendly competition over dinner.
