The Kingmaker's Draft

"One of our favorite places to hang out. Food is great, rotating drink selection is always delicious and there are games for the whole family."

"Great service, beer, cider and food. Casual atmosphere and family fun with hundreds of games to choose from. Chess on Thursday at 6:30. Kurt, the owner, is the best."

"Kingmaker’s has a lot of Pros, and 1 huge Con which frankly prevents me from being more of a regular. PROS: FOOD! Best nachos I’ve had in the area. DRINKS, from local cider to beer and wine. GAME SELECTION! They have a huge variety from casual quick play, to serious long play strategy games. STAFF, always incredibly nice and helpful. CON: KARAOKE. This place is small, and a) not appropriate acoustically for karaoke, but b) not appropriate for karaoke and board gaming to happen together. I brought a small group of friends here and we were playing Munchkin, having some drinks, enjoying some food when karaoke fired up. For the rest of the game we literally had to scream at one another in order to communicate. I walked away with a huge headache, and a sore throat, and all my friends were annoyed at the whole experience. I’m not sure if karaoke brings in more business, but it certainly drove us away. Seems like a poor choice for a board game bar."

"Great spot to grab a drink and a snack while playing some games. The game library is impressive with something for everyone. We loved the atmosphere, drinks, and snack options!"

"My 8 yr old and I were thrilled to find this board game & bar while walking down Main Street in downtown Hendersonville. It was a rainy afternoon and the perfect activity! It’s fairly new so please share reviews if you visit! The owner Jan was happy to chat about games, teach us to play, and just leave us alone to play. We played The Game of Life, Railroad Ink, and Tiny Epic Galaxies Blast Off. We’ll be back!"
