Do I have to order a drink or can I just go in and play a game with friends?

You can just walk in and listen to music, read a book, play games, or just work on your laptop.

I mean you can go there just to play games.... But why would you? Lol

You can go and just play games. It is all ages in most of it as well. They have craft sodas, wine, and food good. So you can do a 4-5 hour game session without getting hangry. Lol
