For when you want to get your (board) game on!

We would argue there’s nothing more social and lively than grabbing a drink and playing a game with friends. Check out these local watering holes for a perfect place to do both.

REWINED BEER AND WINE BAR

Rewined Beer and Wine Bar is, by self-proclamation, nerdy. I say it’s just plain nostalgic. (But I might be a bit nerdy, so po-tay-to, po-tah-to.) Their quirky decor is pays homage to the 90’s and they have a variety of classic games (in addition to some newer ones). But don’t expect their drink menu to stay stuck in decades past. They have a rotation of more than 130 beers, ciders, and wine to choose from. While you can expect a walk down memory lane, don’t expect a full menu. It’s just snacks to accompany your beverages and board games.

SNAKES AND LATTES, TEMPE

With over 1,000 games at their Tempe location, there’s sure to be a game for everybody in your group. They charge $5 a player to play as much as you want, but if you don’t feel like playing, they have free wi-fi, plenty of outlets to plug your computers in, and an extensive menu. You’ll notice their Canadian roots (all of their other locations are in Toronto) with their variety of poutines, but have healthy salads, sandwiches, pizza, burgers, and more.

THE WHINING PIG

With a happy hour lasting from 1-8 pm, there’s plenty of time to get happy with one of their 125+ craft beers or glasses of wine from their extensive stock. The Whining Pig is constantly updating and changing their rotation, so there’s always a new drink to try. Their menu is small, consisting of mostly comforting, artisanal grilled cheeses, which is perfect for a game night. Check it out at one of their 6 Valley locations.
