The best board game cafés in and around Vancouver

Nov 29 2022, 9:30 pm

Combining gaming with snacking is completely genius, so lucky for us there are plenty of spots in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver where you can do both.

From board game bistros with full dinner menus to cafés with game-themed cocktails, the one thing all these spots have in common is that gaming is just as important as eating.

Next time you’re looking for something fun to do on a rainy afternoon, check out one of the city’s best board game cafés for some fun and food.

Pizzeria Ludica

They say good things come in threes, and that’s certainly the case at Pizzeria Ludica. Here, you can play board games while enjoying oven-fresh pizza and a cold glass of beer at the same time. This spot has two different locations and hundreds of board game options.
