The Silver Key Lounge 1837 West Guadalupe Road, Mesa, AZ 85202

"This place is a lot of fun, they have an excellent board game selection, excellection seating selection - tons of different chair options - table options - private rooms / themed rooms. They have a pretty decent selection of craft beer however their prices can be a little scary on some of the cans. When a 16oz can of craft beer costs $10, rough life, when that same brand comes in a 4x16oz pack for $25. You're definitely paying a premium for the craft brews here. However, the point is that you're essentially renting a table and paying rent ontop of your drinks - a way to think of it. This place is a lot cheaper overall compared to other places even though some of the craft brews are pricey. I love the selection of games, so far haven't had any issues with missing pieces. It can get rather busy rather quickly on pretty much any day - so plan ahead / be prepared."

"The place is amazing! Awesome customer service and a great place to hang and drink while simultaneously giving a place to play games. The one down side is that they don't have warm food, but they DO have snacks and things to suppliment. All in all, fantastic bar."

"Came here for the first time for a Boardgame swap meet. Beautiful place with stunning decore. They have a huge wall of boardgames that you can borrow to play with your friends at one of the many rentable tables. But I was here for the swap meet, their monthly event, which not only offers an opportunity to buy and sell second-hand games but also brings together the local gaming community."

"This is THE Board Game Café. Huge library of games to borrow. Staff is well-versed in the different games and can recommend suitable games for novices and casual gamers. 40+ tables to play at. Full bar and plenty of soft drinks and snacks for the younger crowd. No kitchen, but rotating food trucks visit the location. But perhaps the most exciting aspect of Silver Key Lounges are the fellow patrons. A very frienyatmosphere, most gamers are open to questions about the games they play and happy to explain the rules. (But don’t blame me if you get hooked on X-Wing or Pandemic…)"

"Great place to try out new board games with friends, or they have "player wanted" signs available if you're looking to meet more board game playing friends. Seats are comfortable, bartender was friendly, and the food truck food delivered to other people looked delicious although I didn't get a chance to try it myself. They've got lots of different random sodas and snacks as well as different beers/seltzers. Bring a sweater if you get cold, but if you typically feel warm the temperature in there is amazing."
