Welcome to Sip & Play 🎲☕

Your Friendly Neighborhood Board Game Café

New here? Amazing. A little confused? Totally normal.
Here’s everything you need to know before your first visit.

 

🎲 Games & Playing

​

So… how does this work?

Easy! There’s a per-person play fee that gives you access to our entire board game library for your visit. Grab a table, pick a game, order something tasty, and let the fun begin. Monday to Thursday is our weekday pricing at $10 while Friday to Sunday is our weekend pricing at $12.

​

Do I need a reservation?

Reservations are a great idea for weekends, evenings, and groups. Walk-ins are always welcome when we have space! Reservations are also slightly more expensive at $15 a person. We’ll hold a small deposit and on the day of we’ll charge for the rest.

​

Is there a time limit?

Your play fee covers three hours of game time. If we’re not busy and you’re mid-game, we’ll usually let you keep playing — just check in with us.

​

What if I don’t know how to play any games?

Perfect. You’re in the right place.
Our staff loves recommending games and explaining rules, especially if you’re new.

​

What kind of games do you have?

Short answer: a lot.
Long answer: party games, strategy games, classics, two-player games, family favorites, and hidden gems you didn’t know you’d love.

​

Can I bring my own game?

Absolutely! Bring it along — the play fee still applies.

 

☕ Food & Drinks

​

Do I have to order food or drinks?

You don’t have to, but we’d love it if you did. Snacks and sips help keep the games (and the lights) on 💛

​

What’s on the menu?

Coffee, bubble tea, fun drinks, sandwiches, and light bites — all very game-night approved.

​

Can I bring outside food or drinks?

We ask that you enjoy food and drinks from our menu instead. If you have a dietary concern, just chat with us.

​

Vegetarian or allergy-friendly options?

Yes! We’ve got vegetarian options and are happy to help with allergy questions.

 

👯 Dates, Groups & Events

​

Is Sip & Play good for dates?

We’re biased, but yes — board games are basically a cheat code for low-pressure fun.

​

What about groups?

We love groups! Bigger parties should reserve ahead so we can seat everyone comfortably.

Can I host a birthday or event here?

Absolutely. Birthdays, meetups, and private events are kind of our thing. Reach out to sipnplaynyc@gmail.com for details.
