I really wanted to like this place but I couldn't. We noticed the air pumps weren't working on the fish tank and informed the bartender she said it was ok. Maybe she'll get it when all of the fish die

Yes they have board games. But it's crowded, full of jerks, and always overheated. Nothing special. Go somewhere else.

The bartenders and doormen shake you down for tips. Avoid this bar at all costs.
