Was really good!! Came here with my friend and ordered mocktails which were cheap and came quickly - staff were incredibly polite and had free Pokémon cards by the till. Basement was really cool - would be super fun to come with friends.

Visited Playopolis for the first time last weekend. Was a nice relaxed vibe and there are so many games to choose from! Ordering from the table via the QR code was nice and straightforward. I'll definitely be going back 👍

Wonderful Board game cafe. Friendly staff, a huge collection of games and a great ordering system that means you don't have to interrupt your play by going up to the counter. Been coming for a couple of years and it's one of our favourite family afternoons out.

Absolutely fantastic venue! Honestly, so good, on every front. From outside it’s easy to miss, but inside it’s quite labyrinthine with a massive and varied amount of games to play and two floors (upstairs warmer, lighter and a bit noisier with more children) and downstairs maybe more adult- friendly. The cocktail menu is really vast and creative and everything I’ve tried is delicious. Even if you didn’t want get involved in games - the cocktails are amazing and such good value! It’s quite Roald Dahl in here in terms of fun, and sweeties and “what fun will I have next?”. Not eaten here yet but seen others indulge in humongous, delicious looking hotdogs. Vegan/veggie menu is impressive and loads of desserts and snacks too. The time will fly by in here so highly recommend. Friendly, helpful and patient staff. Love it!

Took my grandson here for a birthday treat. He loved it. We sat downstairs and used the retro video games. Such a huge choice of games. Friendly staff and atmosphere. The portion of nachos was huge, delicious desserts too. Would def recommend.
