    We had so much fun gaming at Sip and Play. We enjoyed games, pizza, and bubble tea. I highly recommend you check it out!

    This place was awesome ! I love places like this because it allows you to just put your phones down if you want and just play games and enjoy your time with friends family , significant other etc . It's only $15 bucks total $5 for deposit and 10 when you get there for 3 hours of playtime . Me and my friends had a ball . Everything was clean and the guys who work here are awesome . Very kind and sweet and they take very good care of the place . I will definitely be back! Also their food is pretty good and they have vegan options and the fries were soooooo good . I loved it

    Corner shelf board game collection.

    Great store with very competitive pricing, the friendliest staff, a clean, well maintained play area, and a decent selection of games. I play Modern here every Thursday and this store is by far my favorite place to play Magic: The Gathering. The tourney organizer, Jonathon Li is friendly, helpful, considerate, and really cares about the people playing Magic here. He will wait to start if someone is running late, will work with the players to figure out proper judge calls, and even lend you cards or a whole deck. The store itself is very well lit, maintained, and most importantly clean. We all know board and card game enthusiasts can be on the smelly/ less hygienic side, but this store is thankfully better maintained. The bathroom is spacious and cleaned regularly with some cool artwork. The staff is friendly and helpful. They've always been nice to customers from what I see, and will regularly bring your order to your table if you're busy playing a game. All in all I couldn't recommend a better place to play board games or Magic: The Gathering.

    Came here because we were late for an event we were supposed to attend in brooklyn. Loved the board games and cafe concept.  The selection of games was extremely varied. However,  some of the games had missing pieces. The hungry hippo had no marbles, and the 2 operation games we saw had no pieces.  I hope they will check their games and remove those that are missing pieces and can't be used.   In the end, we played Jenga, battleship, and exploding kittens. The atmosphere and music were relaxed. There are families and older adults enjoying the games.  They have cafe items, boba, and a limited canned alcohol selection. We had the brown sugar boba, which was good.  Though we didn't eat the bacon they were frying smelled tempting. Didn't really like the lunar passion fruit cocktail but that may be since I don't like seltzer. The wine was good. On weekends it is 12$ pp for 3 hours of gameplay. All in all I would come back if in the area.

    When you and your friends want to hang out but don't know what activities to do, why not stop by a board game cafe, pick a game from a huge selection of games and get cozy with some food and drinks. Tucked away near park slope, the space is clean and there is a good selection of bubble tea, coffee and food options. I opted for a Cafe Au Lait and an Italian Panini which was delicious. The staff here is very kind and accommodating to our needs. The variety of board games that you can choose from are endless so you'll never be bored; whether its trying out a new game you've never heard of or sticking to classics like codenames. There's a fee to sit down and play board games but its totally worth it. this is a great hangout spot and you won't be disappointed! bring all your friends!

    Nice and calm place to chill and good music. The drink werent very good tho, my jasmine milk tea waa very watered down nd wasnt mix well. The pale ale or beer was also eh, but the lunar new year lychee was good. The games were plentiful. and enough to play for lots of groups. Each person is about $8 for an hr(if i remember correctly). there was bathroom but i didnt get to go but its nice to have the toilet option.

    Giant Uno

    Really cute spot with many board games options, including classics like Scrabble, Catan, Jenga, Uno etc. as well as fun new games. They also have regular card decks at the counter if you ask for them. The food and drinks were really good - ordered a sandwich, matcha latte and bubble tea. Went with a date, would recommend as a great indoors date spot for rainy days :) The staff were also super nice and gave us extra time Will be back again for sure!

    My friends and I dropped by Sip and Play for some board games. It was 8$ for 3 hours with countless board games. A wonderful hangout spot which is accompanied by a nice little cafe with boba and great drinks. There is some complimentary water with water cups a little past the cafe area if you don't want to buy a drink. The staff was very friendly in giving us instructions on how the board game cafe worked and in giving us drink recs. The only negative was that the music was a little loud - but other than that, an absolutely great spot! We had a ton of fun playing code names and sequence. I highly recommend this board game cafe if you are looking for a chill spot to hang out with friends and play some board games.

    I came here last month on Sunday, 11/1 with my husband & friend to meet my fellow yelper Mei C for our monthly Yelp Date! We come to support another local business in another community. A perfect Sunday afternoon playing some board games with family & friends. No screen time (phones). Some good old fashion fun. We were worried it would be too cold which was why we wanted indoor table- thank goodness as it was windy that day! I had emailed for reservations (according to their website) for in-door table for 4 people at 11AM. When we arrived, the staff didn't check for reservations (so I guess they didn't need it?, we were the only people there; so maybe they knew it's our group)? She explained that we order food/beverages at the counter and she would bring it to our table while we can pick out the games. 3 hours unlimited play is $7 per person. Drink menu is extensive; there is something for anyone (even me, because I'm not a coffee drinker and picky with teas) We roam the cute shop; oohhing and ahhhing over the displays and games. They have cute game decors painted on the walls. They have such a large selection of games of all types (cards, board, strategy, trivias, puzzles and more) that we felt like kids in a candy shop LOL Most of the games we have never heard of which was fun to try. Some we picked we heard of (commercials when we were kids) but never played before. We grabbed a table all the way in the back (but not in the back room). Later during our first game, she came with our drinks and a loyalty card with stamps. If we come more often & earn more stamps, we can get a free drink or game time. I wish they asked us beforehand because hubby&I could have share a card since he don't go out often-- so I would get 2 stamps (and then earn it on my own). But yeah, that could be cheating as it would be faster in earning the 10 stamps. We did see the owner dropping by the other tables to chat them up (he didn't get to come over to our table); it is always nice to see the owner checking around & actually chatting with customers rather than just a simple "how is everything?" & walking away. He really did seem interested in his customers having a good time and share his passion for playing games. Some of the games were so fun that I'm thinking of buying but not sure if worth it. I would come back with friends for game night one day.

    Gem Blenders

    Great food, great place! Really enjoy playing coming from NJ. My sisters and I always get the chicken tenders with fries... fire! Usually come by to play Gem Blenders however I can see myself driving over to play one of their many games.. TTG lover haven

    Ice green tea mango with tapioca and lychee stars
    Heather R.

    Once again supporting our local restaurants. Stop by this fairly new Establishment to take out two ice green mango bubble teas for my hubby and myself. The tea was refreshing for a hot summer day. The merchant were very welcoming when I entered the establishment. We had a little chat about the current events which was lovely. I will certainly come back to this place. Thank you for delish tea stay healthy and safe. Oh btw prior to coronavirus you could of played board games in this establishment however at this point board games are available to rent awesome idea!!!!!

     shelf full of board games
    Lindsey O.

    Alright I'm not usually a 5 stars for one item kinda reviewer - if I'm just getting like one coffee or tea and not a full meal somewhere I usually start with a 4 and bump it up as I try more things and continue to have a positive experience. With that said, I make exceptions for places like Sip N' Play specifically because of fantastic service and such a cute vibe. First off they had hot winter melon boba tea, which is my favorite as someone who loves a night time boba but can't do caffeine late. Plus hot boba in the winter is such a joy. Again, I normally wouldn't give 5 stars yet for just one bubble tea (which was very well made by the way), but the staff and particularly the guy was just SO nice and friendly that it really made me feel at home. On top of that, what a fun place! They have at least 100 board games. I'll definitely look forward to coming back to this place to hang out in the future.

    We decided to check out Sip N' Play after seeing them featured on Instagram, and I'm so glad we did! If you've been to The Uncommons (near NYU), you'll love this board game cafe. More space, wide variety of board games to choose from, and you can grab food, boba, or a beer while you play. My boyfriend and I walked in about 2 pm on a Saturday and didn't have to wait for a table. Since we came on a weekend, it was $10 per person for 3 hours - which is not bad at all! They have several shelves of board games to choose from toward the back of the cafe, and there are unopened board games for sale as well. The remaining tables quickly filled up later in the afternoon, so if you plan to come with a group, it would be a good idea to make a reservation in advance. The owner, Jonathan, greeted us as we were playing a game of chess, and he was super friendly. We learned that Sip N' Play opened during the pandemic, and it was nice to see that this place was ~poppin~ (love supporting locally owned businesses!!). 100% would come back again - such a hidden gem in Brooklyn!

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
