Side Quest Game Lounge

★★★★★

“My husband and I went yesterday for the first time and I'm sad it took me this long to check it out. It was great! $10 per person gets you all day access to the game library. They sell sodas, waters, and snacks but you also can bring in your own food and drink which is great to know! We played two games both two times and next time I plan to get there even earlier so we can spend more time there. The photos are just a small glimpse into the library. Tons of different games.”

“I have so much to say about Sidequest, buckle up. First of all - I make TableTop Escape Room games, and Sidequest has helped connect me with dozens of players for my events. (@escapebecks) Such a welcoming and inclusive community surrounding this place. It's a great place to host a large group of people. Perfect for when family is in town and you get tired of hosting at the house. Or when your community dance class is cancelled for the evening but you all already scheduled this time each week to spend together so you need a place to gather. Such a good gathering space. But what else is about it? I'll tell you. If you like playing Dungeons & Dragons or if you've ever wanted to try it out, THIS IS THE PLACE! They have tons of resources. Not just all the books and guides but also the maps, minis, dice, custom tables, anything you could ever need to play. They have beginner classes, one-shots, long campaigns, ways to group up with other players and dms, no matter where you're at if you're interested in DnD then check out sidequest. Continuing on about the game library... they have so many games! There is no limit to how many games you can play and how much time you can spend there and still find new things to play. And the great thing is you can leave and come back later, and bring outside food and drinks! Birthday parties, such a good place for a birthday party. I love Sidequest!”

“We were quite excited to check out the new game lounge in Midtown! We love board game cafes, and this place was great. My group, which was four adults, showed up on a Saturday after brunch, and we were greeted by Laura, who is the owner. She helped us check in and get our game bracelet passes, because she allows you to leave for food or other reasons and come back the same day with your pass. How cool is that, that she's supporting the local businesses on the same street! , Side Quest Game Lounge has a medium-sized room of games to pick from. There weren't any signs to communicate how they were organized, so I'd like to see that sometime. I love game lounges like this because you can try out games without having to spend the big price tag of buying it, and only playing it a few times at home. This is much more cost-efficient and more fun. I saw that they had a community puzzle going, as well as 3D printers creating art. They sell snacks & drinks in case you get the munchies while you're playing. The website helps coordinate D&D campaigns, with DMs posting what they're looking for so that people can get together here. They have a few rooms you can book to have your campaign sessions. I admire that! I had a great time, and I hope they stick around.”

“I absolutely love this place! Going into a game store can be really scary and uncomfortable for a woman, but Side Quest takes the scary awkwardness away! Laura is the best! She makes sure everyone is comfortable when they come in. They have lots of tables and even have a huge room of board games. Plus they have the BEST fidgets and cute accessories for your ears, hair, and D&D game play that she makes! I've always wanted to try playing D&D but never felt comfortable to do so. The store hosts games to teach newbies as well as one shots that are perfect for brand new players to learn during. I've never once felt embarrassed to ask questions or make mistakes and always walk away from the table smiling. I definitely suggest anyone who enjoys ttrpgs or board games....OR are a fidget toy enthusiast like me..go and visit, play some games, and spend some time there!”
