Nice bike store in the center of Canberra with friendly staff and a large selection of bikes,…read moreequipment, and some clothes. I was trying to find a place to rent a decent mountain bike and outside of Stromlo park this is all I could find. Make sure if you want a decent bike reserve it at least a few days in advance. I was able to get a Specialized Stumpjumper full suspension for $100 AUS per day.

My wife and I purchased new phone cases and screen protectors for new phones we'd recently…read morepurchased, and the gentleman at the counter installed the screen protectors for us. We also purchased a travel adapter, but we ended up accidentally leaving it at the store. The next day we both had to travel outside Canberra and would be returning for weeks. Nearly a month later, my wife popped in to see if by chance they remembered that we'd left the adapter...and they did, they remembered us personally, and had our travel adapter waiting behind the counter.

They have a great selection and diversity of stuff, they supported women in comics (as consumers and creators) back before this was cool.

An unusual concept done right…read more A board game restaurant? Isn't that antisocial? No! Play with a group of your friends, eat good food and try new things. The food is great, the games are expansive (and for all ages and attention spans) and the staff are very friendly. Splits bills, can host groups and the staff are helpful to board game beginners.

This is a good place to hangout. I took my 8-year old daughter and her friends here for a few…read morehours. They had a large assortment of board games and the girls had a hard time choosing which ones to play. Luckily, one of the waiters seemed to know something about each of the games and could give us some recommendations. The food was acceptable. I had the chicken schnitzel and also ordered a side salad. I didn't read carefully and only later realized that the chicken came with its on salad. It would've been nice for the waiter to confirm that I wanted 2 salads.... The schnitzel was a bit dry and overcooked, so I wouldn't recommend it either. The salads were fine, but nothing to seek out. My daughter ordered the kid's pizza. She didn't like it much and just took only a few bites. I tried it and realized that the pizza was mostly crust. It was too lite on sauce and cheese. The service was not uniform. On the one had, the staff were nice and knowledgeable about the games. On the other hand, the waiter kept changing the time he wanted us out. We arrived at 4 pm and planned to be there for a few hours. Initially, he said we could stay until 7:30 which was totally fine. A half hour later, he said 7:15, then at 6:30 he said he was needing the table in the next 15 minutes. There was no recognition that he kept shifting the times, so I can only surmise that he was just misremembering what he had told us. He also forgot one of our orders too. And no, it wasn't too crowded, so I can't even give him an out for being busy. So, come for the games, but don't expect exceptional food or service.

I saw several euro titles that I'd not seen before and the owner had recently been to the big game convention in Europe and had come back with some great finds! The second floor had a large room for players to bring out their games and the store had a library of opened games. My one disappointment was on how small their Wargaming stock was. That only amounted to a few Compass Games hex and counter games (my passion) but it did have a bit in the way of minis. A great store, worth repeated visits!
