Cool bar with tons of space to spread out and play board games, including 3 huge shelves of games you could borrow. When we got there, there was plenty of space to grab a seat and you could see many groups of people with a game out. Several large TVs were in the main bar area showing some sitcoms and movies, and they're not very visible from the back area where a lot of the game groups were set up. A huge drink list was a little overwhelming but it was nice to have all the options including lots of craft beer options, wine, mead, and cocktails. The beer list didn't always list the Brewery which would have been a nice addition. The food menu looked nice but we only needed apps and felt a little limited with only four options there. Looking forward to visiting again and maybe trying some of the entrees and cocktails. Nice to have a niche bar like this nearby!

I sadly do not have photos from my visit here but I have to say, this place is fantastic if you are a board, card, role-playing, or party gamer of any sorts! The atmosphere makes you feel like you are in a fun tavern right out of your favorite adventure, with fun and tasty themed mixed drinks to boot. When factoring in all of the games you can select to play, prices here are very reasonable. Plenty of tasty beer/cider options on draft for $6 that would be as much if not more anywhere else. Check it out!

I'm part of a group that meets here once a month and The Forge is always fantastic. The food is good. They have a good selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are plenty of games of various styles and levels of complexity.

Unique theme bar. Friendly people, and they have Sweet Baby Jesus & Java. They would get 5*'s if they had them on tap.

Do they play college football games on Saturdays?

No. This is a "nerd bar" so they tend to have FX and BBC America on the screen.
