The editorial take
A beer taphouse and full bar built around 200 board games and arcade machines, with a drinks list that runs deeper than the theme names suggest. Twenty beers on tap include Japanese labels like Orion Mugishokunin, Echigo Rice Lager, and Kyoto Matcha IPA alongside canned domestic options. The cocktail side lists 14 originals and 8 classics, spirits cover ten Japanese whiskies by 2 oz pour plus soju and sake, and even the non-alcoholic section gets eight mocktails mirroring the classics.
- What should I order?
- Start with N/A mocktails. The menu describes it with Bee's Knees, Gimlet, Gold Rush, Margarita, Negroni, Blank Cartridge, Falsarita, or Princess Peach; customers asked to say N/A when ordering.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups settling in for board games and arcade sessions, drinkers who want a Japanese beer or whisky rather than a standard domestic pour, and anyone ordering non-alcoholic who is tired of settling for soda.
- When should I go?
- A session built around the 200 board games and arcade machines, with drinks ordered alongside play.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage list is unusually broad for a game bar: 20 taps with Japanese imports, ten Japanese whiskies by 2 oz pour, soju and sake, a 14-strong original cocktail roster, and eight non-alcoholic mocktails that mirror the classic cocktails.
