Alessandro ArgentinaJuly 8, 2014Tuesdays are Free Stay 'N Play with purchase from menu. Wednesday nights are Open Gaming (get matched up with other small groups or individuals - great way to meet new people and friends).
Charysse G. RFebruary 6, 2016Probably my favourite place in Ottawa. Hot chocolate was great. Perfect for groups and dates. Great staff also! Highly recommended!
Kyle TurnerJuly 8, 2016Lots of games! We even found a new game that was great (check out Anomia)! The service was good (staff took themselves a bit too seriously) but the drink selection isn't huge
They now have gluten-free options. Tables have glass tops and shelves underneath, perfect for storing food or board game boxes while you play.
Shalynn H.August 8, 2015Great for a couple or group. $5+tax cover per person. Be prepared for a wait list on Friday night, but they will call you when your table opens up. I highly recommend this place!- HinaDecember 22, 2015Great selection of board games! A fun way to spend an evening. It can get a bit loud sometimes, especially in the evenings and on weekends.
The Loft Board Game LoungeJuly 7, 2014Our busiest times are Fridays and Saturdays after 8. We don't take reservations, so if you want to make sure you get a table, try to come in before 7!
Colin BrownSeptember 24, 2014Wide-selection of board games, decent beer/wine list and menu, and relaxing atmosphere. Would be a good spot for a double date
David RamalhoJuly 6, 2014Great for groups of 2-6. There aren't any large circular tables for bigger groups to comfortably play a game. Delicious baked snacks, but small beer selection.
linnieJanuary 2, 2015A great option for anyone who doesn't want to get drunk and go dancing with the university students. Amazing bar food!
Jessica CaseleyJanuary 8, 2016Lots of board games, super friendly staff, good food.. On busy nights the wait to get a table wasn't bad (less than 15 minutes)
Mari OlmedoSeptember 17, 2017Ok so, we arrived outside the main door with slices of pizza and a sandwich because we were really hungry after a long day of tourist attractions, and a guy asked us to go eat on the street.
Xander SJune 27, 2015Friendly and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, great food and great selection of games.
- Kelsey OhlbaumMarch 10, 2016They have a new place called Level One downstairs now - it's equally as fun.
- Yue DongApril 4, 2016Nice selection of games and video games! However, only 4 hours during weekends:(
Maria BelenJanuary 10, 2015Playing board games at The Loft, this place is intense! What superhero name should I use?!

"Better than the Byward location! Friendly staff. The hot chocolate was okay. Crepe was hard, but pretty good. Aesthetically pleasing. I'd definitely go back!"

"Hipster heaven, that describes it best, so if you're a hipster king/queen then you'd enjoy this place. The cannoli are just meh for $6"
