Tons of games and the place is packed! Decent selection of finger foods and cocktails. Luckily we were able to play games  at the bar despite not reserving a table. We initially attempted to learn a new strategy-type game, but the place was just too loud for it to be enjoyable. We ended up playing a few strategy games we were familiar with and then ended the night with some simple family favorites. Overall, highly recommend - you can't beat $5 for three hours of fun and games!!!

Drinks are amazing, food is yummy and board game selection is insanely impressive. Little understaffed for rarely checked on to order more drinks but who isn't understaffed these days. Definitely a favorite spot for date night or night out with friendsFood: 5/5

I wish I had 10 stars to give to this amazing gem in Manchester NH!  Absolutely After a very bad day that we had at a disappointing place called “The Golden Tao” we made an excellent choice - thanks to my friend Aishu for suggesting this place!  There is an amazing selection of various board games that you can play. The staff was super nice and genuinely friendly gave us excellent table. We were six and we picked up two games.  We had a blast! I ordered a fairy tale tea with Oat milk and lavender syrup and a strawberry cheese cake. There were so many people playing different games. The vine was just right and we had an amazing bonding time over good games and good food and good music.  Do come here! You’re just going to love it for the amazing homey time that this place is going to gift you..

We went with a party of four and had a great time. The food and drinks were good with plenty of different beverage options. They have over 2,000 games, ranging from all genres. The staff was friendly and checked in regularly. I’m excited to visit again!Food: 5/5

Boards & Brews is my new favorite local hangout. Since I went the first time, I rapidly returned another 3-4 times.  Their drinks are fantastic, the service is great, and it's clear they foster an environment of fun and relaxation. They do have some lunch/dinner items available, but I keep going for the garlic cheese bites kinda like mini mozzarella sticks cut into pieces and the connect 4. Vegetarian options are available.  Then...the games. I don't think I've ever seen so many games packed into one place but they have classics you know and love and new games you've never tried but are sure to love. The staff can help you figure out a game to play and how to play it if you have questions. I've found several new favorite games with a night or afternoon there.  I definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to have fun and unwind a bit.  ****Update 10 months later**** I've lost count of how many times I've been back at this point. I go with my boyfriend for date night, friends for girls' night, coworkers to unwind, family to connect. In some ways, it's now my home away from home. It's my first pick whenever I'm stressed out, too, and looking to let out a little steam. I've never failed to have fun, always leave happier and more relaxed, and have significantly expanded my board gaming horizons. It's a great place to go for most about any reason.  Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options including appetizers, a caprese sandwich, mac &#39;n cheese, etc.  Parking: Victory Parking Garage is literally right around the block and is very convenient for low cost parking.  Kid-friendliness: I&#39;ve never seen anyone get out of hand. Weekends definitely get louder and busier so I would consider weeknights or days for families but it is a kid friendly place where I have seen families. There is a changing table in the bigger of the two bathrooms.  Wheelchair accessibility: It&#39;s on a ground floor with sidewalk access. There is a ramp that goes up to the bathrooms in the back and a larger, more accessible bathroom to the left.

Really unique concept for Manchester. Their selection of games is extensive and the drinks they offer are good. I wasn't blown away by the food but that wasn't really why I was there anyways. It's a great place to go out with some friends.Food: 3/5

Came here with my girlfriend for the first time, and honestly wasn't expecting much. It exceeded all my expectations with it's extensive boardgame library! It's 5$ bucks per person to sit and play for three hours, so it's a really good bang for your buck! We had a couple drinks and some garlic curly fries but I'd definitely have to try more food here to give that aspect a better score. But they had some sours and ciders so I was pleased with that! My girlfriend also had some sort of gin mixed drink that she really liked. Service was good! Definitely feel like this is a place where you should go up in order instead of waiting for staff. They came around a few times but I liked that as to not be interrupted during games. Overall this is a place I will be going out of my way to go back to. I'll have to come with food in mind as well next time! And I'll take more pictures when that happens!

Me and my friend have been coming here for about 3 years now and we recently came in for both of our birthdays as a party of 7. We had Charlie as our server both times and he was awesome, super friendly, funny, and charismatic. We will definitely be back. They’ve also got a great selection of games, this is prob like my favorite place ever.

Very fun place! More of a bar vs restaurant not much in the way of food. You get a table and play games of your choosing from a large selection. Great board/card game options!Food: 3/5

Just went here and what a fun time this was! Over 2000 board games, coffee, drinks and food! Such a wonderful atmosphere and incredible staff. This is a definite must see when visiting downtown Manchester!!
