Great gaming bar ! Board games and video games . Good beers , great cocktails , friendly bar staff . They don't do food BUT you're allowed to bring food in or get it delivered! The bar staff like pizza

Went here for a Midnight Resistance event , was a great vibe, but was hard to hear, what with it being a pub n all... Great spot though if you like video games !

Hilariously named cocktails and a great place if you like games. The multiple game arcade machines at the basement are my particular highlight.

Great for console games. The board game collection is pretty used and abused, but having a beer and playing some Mortal Kombat is great.

We came here after making sure its opening hours but it was closed although the site and sign outside says they are open! And they have no number to call! Uncool ????
