    What a great spot! I'm a huge gamer, and I love tabletop games, so when I had the chance to check this place out with some friends I was super excited. The ambiance is fun - designed with decor to feel like a castle/fantasy place, with tables large enough to accommodate games. The centerpiece is the game vault. Walking into it was really cool, seeing all of the games organized by categories, and getting to chat with their game experts was helpful for learning about new games that would work for our group size. Part of the $7 per person game charge is that it covers having one of the game experts come over and get the group started on their game - reading through rule books is often the most laborious part of setting up and getting going with a new game, so having someone be able to skip that part and get us right into game play was worth it. The menu is a bit lacking. It's basically bar food, and the drinks are centered around alcohol (which I get, large profit margin). If you have some niche dietary requirements you may struggle here, I'd recommend looking over the menu before deciding if you want to plan to eat here. I can say the coffee is tasty, my partner had tea and enjoyed it, but if you're also not a drinker there isn't a whole lot for you, either. The food I did get (pretzel bites and a flatbread) was solid, so no complaints there from me. All in all, I do plan to go back sooner than later - it was great for finding new games!

    Visiting from out of state and was very excited to see there was a Snakes and Lattes here after stumbling across one in Arizona. The staff was kind, attentive and overall very helpful. There person working the Game Vault while we were there was fun to talk to, knowledgable and overall seemed excited about games. The atmosphere was nice and honestly we would have stayed longer IF there was a vegan option for food (I don't mean just a vegan burger without the bun) It sounds like the menu had just recently changed and the offerings were just not great at all for varying food preferences/restrictions. *Sad to say but don't go here if you are vegan and want something to eat.

    Snakes and Lattes was so fun! I love the concept - a spot that not only has a wide range of board games to play but also drinks and food. The prices are also reasonable, paying $7 per person for the game pass and if you'd like a bite or something to drink, it won't cost you an arm and a leg. One thing that stood out to me was their little shop where you can actually purchase brand new board games if you liked one that you tried. We did a walk-in late afternoon but you can also make reservations online. I got a Cinnamon Bun Latte which was really good! The games are in a little room that looked like a library. It was super cute and they had such a wide variety of games from your classic ones to new ones. The nice part is, if you get overwhelmed, there is also a "game librarian" who can help you pick one out based on what you like. We played 2 classic board games and got the chance to try 3 new ones! This is also a great spot to try out board games before committing to buying them. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends!

    I have to write about the mac and cheese, that dish truly wrecked my experience here. It's a really cool vibe and all the other food was good, the cookie with ice cream was great and the sweet potato fries were nice!!! The general vibe is cool as well and the selection of games was crazy looking! Our server was really pleasant and overall had a good time. But the mac and cheese was really watery and I couldn't eat it.

    Wtf is this mac and cheese. It was like cheese water noodles with some extra cheese melted on top. It looked good until you actually tried stirring it, we were actually grossed out. Fries were good and the concept is really cool. The decor is super immersive and there's a great game selection. But wtf. It was so bad. Had a stomach ache afterwards.

    As someone who loves board games, this is the perfect spot for a casual hangout with friends. It's only $7 per person and you have access to so many games and I appreciated how organized they all were. The service was also good too and I liked how you can split the tab easily if you have a big group. However the food was so bad. We came around 6 pm on a Sunday night only to find that most things on the food menu were unavailable. The Caesar salad tasted like it was from a salad kit in the grocery store and the crispy chicken sandwich didn't look like the pictures and tasted burnt. The sweet potato fries were also soggy. I would come here for the experience but skip the food and eat at home or order food from another place.

    Loved the team here! Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. They checked in on us, had such a breadth of knowledge on the games, were available to teach, and gave great choice suggestions for next time. We were able to get a seat on a Friday night even without a reservation at one of their picnic style tables. 2 hour time slots for busy nights but we were able to stay for 3. I can't get over the selection of games. They're broken up nicely into categories: staff picks, award winners, Chicago themed, classics, group/party, doubles, team vs the game, etc. The food was okay, nothing to write home about, but you're really here for the fun. I did like the app used to order and pay. Made splitting the bill easy!

    Absolutely LOVE the concept!! The wall decor, table layout, bar accessibility and staff are phenomenal!! My gfs and I decided to check this place out on MLK day! It was the perfect cold day activity to get us out of our homes! The game selection is out of this world!! They have 15 book shelves FULL of games!! I will admit it felt a little like scrolling through Netflix (for an hour) trying to pick a movie!! So many options! So we picked a game most of us knew how to play! Drinks were great! Highly recommend the boozy hot chocolate and margarita! Food on the other hand....well let's just say I highly recommend you grab dinner before hand! Here is why they lost a star- The whipped feta was cold, the fish and chips were bland, Margherita pizza was also cold (notice the non melted cheese), the spinach and artichoke dip was cold and served with tortilla chips NOT bread like listed and lastly the garden salad came with a thousand island dressing NOT the balsamic listed....was it disappointing? Sure. But the food was edible and after a day full of "girl snacks". We were HUNGRY! So food was food! Again concept is so cool and we can't wait to be back for drinks! Ha Everyone at the table can have their own tab, that's also where you'll add the $7 gaming fee!

    Smash burger and sweet potato fries

    Now this is such a fun hidden gem. I have walked past this a million times and never noticed in on the corner of western. When you enter you feel transported...the decoration and art inside is amazing. It looks like you're in the middle of a medieval European Esq town if that even is the right description. SUCH a great spot for date night or to come play games with friends. We ended up getting dinner and playing games. Game passes are $7 which isn't bad at all. The options of games are endless and all in pretty good condition. We played 3 games during our two hour time limit. We ordered the smash burger, chicken wings and drinks. I enjoyed the THC drink and my partner loved the Christmas beer special they had. Food was okay - sweet potato fries were the winners. Burger was average- maybe needs more flavor. The wings were a little try but the lemon dry rub was so delicious. Will definitely be back for a night of games!

Games- The games are organized alphabetically with featured shelves for two players games and Hispanic artists because this is Hispanic Heritage month. Food- I ordered the house special sandwich, a Jabanito. On this sandwich, the buns are replaced with tostones. It was an average size sandwich cut in half containing a decent amount of lettuce, tomatoes, and meat. I felt the sauce was on the lighter side as some bites would have sauce, but not consistent throughout. Additionally, the cheese on the sandwich was an American single, which did not fit the flavor profile.
