Wow, I decide to walk by just to grab a beer and see. How this place is, I have not been using Horsens in 10+ years which I realise have been a mistake. The beer selection here is above what I have tried in any other places I have been the last couple of years. I did not try the food, but it looked close to perfect and the amount of board games were also seemed on point. It can get a bit loud but this were a Saturday night. Not sure if the place offers more silent rooms but even with out I would rate it 5 stars.

Amazing place. I loved it there and had such a great time. My go-to place when me and my friends wanna hang out. I can't really think of anything I didn't like about it, so 5/5.

If its raining and youre feeling like a cozy round of whatever games you love, come here and try their different selections of games. Atmosphere is really cozy, nice selection of drinks and do not be shy to ask your table neighbour if they‘d like to play.

Superb local board game cafe downtown Horsens. We were welcomed without a reservation on Saturday afternoon and the hosts kindly took the time to hear our favourite games and make recommendations. They sat down and explained the rules of our chosen game and at no point did we feel rushed to wrap up and/or leave. Decent food. Beautiful milkshakes. Great atmosphere.

A must visit if you are ever in Horsens, an insane amount off beer, and a service which is always super friendly

A cozy cafe where the eye for detail, the dedication to beer and, of course, a grand selection of board games welcomes you. The owners have created an oasis bustling with people and experiences. I highly recommend going there, though some nights it may be hard to get a seat... so book in advance if you're there for their famous pubquiz or beer tastings. And checkout their designer meetups to catch a glimpse of tomorrows hottest new boardgame :)

Big selection of board-games to choose from. Special brew beer selection as well, incl. a few non-alkoholic options. Bring your kids for a good time.
