What a wonderful place to play games with friends! I really appreciated the whole assortment of…read moreboard games that were available. The physical space for people to gather and simply be has been a great blessing. I do wish that there was a bit more regulation with the particular behaviors that can be inspired when a game does not go well for people with potty mouths (I only say this because I struggled with this too). The staff is good at keeping the place clean and there's even snacks and drinks that you can grab while playing. For what it is worth - I'd calculate it as one nice latte for 1-2 hours of playing with friends. I think my friends and I payed $7 for two hours of playing. Very good. Thank you all and God bless you all+

My friends and I agreed it's a great place if you want to go and try out some games before purchasing elsewhere. I love the setup. It's so chill. You're able to bring outside food and drinks. You're paying $8 as admission which isn't bad at all since there is no time limit. Check out their website. All in all, I would definitely come back

Walked over to the other side of Garey Ave to antique row after our early dinner and checked out…read moreGame Nights which is usually super packed during 2nd Saturday art walks. We chatted with Kyle the owner who has intimate knowledge of 80% of the games in the store, having played them at least once. My husband bought the newest version of Horrified which is a series of cooperative games in which you are vanquishing monsters and saving villagers, this one is Dungeons and Dragons themed. Meanwhile, I talked with Andrew, a game enthusiast who had just purchased a huge game box with cards and dragon figures and was learning how to play it. Tuesdays are game nights there for people looking to play board games with a group. There are several tables for that purpose, and so many games for single players, duos, and larger groups. Super fun store!

After losing the Game Haus to post-pandemic fallout, there's been a sense of loss in the gaming…read morecommunity. Sure, it was pretty far away (Glendale) from Riverside, but I always enjoyed the trek and good times. Fortunately, Kyle, opened the Game Nights Cafe about 1.5 years ago as of this writing (01/01/2025), and the two-level shop and gamespace provides games to purchase, an impressive library of games to play in-house, and necessary hobby materials, such as Citadel paint, brushes, tools, and even a nifty airbrush set for about $70. After two visits here I'm Reviewing the shop, setting, atmosphere, and special New Year's Eve event. First, my long-time gaming buddy happened upon the store while antique shopping across the street. While Gameology in Upland has been our go-to, the initial appeal was the later hours of operation, especially on Sundays, the day we typically line up. There's a game cover fee, a reasonable $6 per player and good for the entire day. Otherwise, as Kyle mentioned to me, people would stay all day and not even purchase anything. Purchases, however, do offset the cover charge. The basement is where the bright track lights make the full-lenghth space inviting. Many hundreds of games line one wall. All are available for anyone wanting to play. And a significant number of tables and comfortable chairs are another draw. There's also a sizeable space upstairs adjacent to the retail area for games. Kyle invited us to come back for New Year's Eve for food, beverages, and a generous playtime that surpassed 2am. For $40 I was down, especially when I saw how much food was provided. A fullscale Middle Eastern feast, as well as charcuterie, sides, and desserts. Wow! The crowd was also fun and my group quickly befriended another and we played lots of fun games that could support 6 players, including Heat, Acquire, and Inca Gold. All three were in the extensive library previously referenced. In short, they host many events for Magic the Gathering (MTG), Dungeons and Dragons, open play nights, and hopefully more NYE celebrations. Finally, they also have a lot of games and things marked down for quick sales, so consider browsing. Not far away is the Glass House, and somewhere close by is Zoink Records.

I stopped in on a whim hoping to find a game I can play with my best friend. He has a disability…read morethat affects his hand function, so it's a little tricky finding things that work for both of us fairly. Two of the guys at this shop were happy to brainstorm with me, and helped me find something fun and affordable to try out at home. We tried it out last night and the game was a hit! Really appreciate the help and will be back again.

I usually come here for discounted Warhammer 40k minis (they've got a pretty robust selection), but…read moreon this particular visit, I was looking for Pokemon cards for my partner's Toxel & Toxtricity binder. The fellow at the counter was SO PATIENT as I asked him to dig through all their bulk. I came with an ordered list to make his search as easy as possible, but the cards are spread out across 10 different expansions, so he did have to do quite a bit of digging. At no point did he seem frustrated, even though there were other customers waiting to be helped. We ended up striking 8 cards off our list, which was more than I expected! I was so surprised when it was only $9 for the lot - we would've had to pay about three times as much if we'd purchased them through ebay.

I visited on a Saturday and found the place josting a bachelor's gamong party. I think they do…read morebirthdays too. Gamer's Haven is a relaxing place to play role playing games and such away from home with like minded people. Most of the gamers connect through the website meetup which shows the date and times gaming groups play. They regularly look for new players. The establishment has an extensive collection of roleplaying books for a variety of games. Think of it as a library of sorts only devoted to roleplaying. The owner/manager(s) (Dave) are thoughtful and considerate men who appear to run their business 1st to provide an atmosphere where grownups can enjoy each others company like a book or chess club only role playing games. Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Warhammer 40k, Rifts and card games like Exploding Unicorns and such. They have three private rooms for private gaming. The place is mature. You can bring your own beer as no one there is under 21 and everyone is polite. They have a membership program ($35 a month) but you can pay by the day ($5 a day). First day of play is free as a trail to see if you like it. They take cash, venmo, etc. They also have some paints and figurines if your into personalizing your character piece. Gaming materials (dice and such) for sale and can order. They even have a 3d print you can use by the hour (they charge by the hour). I like their snack section that comes with a number of candy bars, nuts, ramon, ice cream bars and drinks. They have a microwave, frig, and sink.the place is made up of 3 sections. The back appears to be dedicated to Warhammer 40k. They have free wi-fi at Gamer's Haven too. Overall I think the place is a must see once in your life as an alternative to the library. Your not in an awkward position of having people over late at night if you have kids and such. However, unlike the library their hours are open past 8 pm. I think members can stay after management leaves with membership access. They have security cc cameras inside and the doors lock after you leave. Atmosphere: 6 star. Clean. Fair temperature. Wifi Service: 5 star. Quality: 5 star. They have a gaming table with a monitor. A collection of gaming books. Value: not sure of the going rate in the industry. Still if one lives close enough and has they friend to play with its better than online gaming or watching TV
