Queen & Rook Game Cafe

This place is incredible!!!! We stumbled upon this cafe while visiting Philly in March for a birthday and our family just loved the time spent here. We wound up just getting drinks and playing at the bar. The walls are lined with every board game in the universe (for playing and to buy!). Staff had a great sense of hospitality and suggested a wonderful game that everyone enjoyed... so much so that we wound up buying the game. This place would be great for a rainy day or a few hours of relaxed fun. Couldn't recommend it enough! Thanks for making our day in Philly wonderful and memorable Queen & Rook Game Cafe!!

Shout out to Queen & Rook for solving my quarantine boredom! You the real MVPs!! My boyfriend & I got UNLOCK! Mystery Adventures recently and we loved it. If you’re even mildly competitive this is the game for you. The two of us played together but I could see this being fun with a group of friends ,which is totally happening once this is all over!
Thanks again guys!
Also! JUST completed The Harley Quinn puzzle we got! Very cool!

Grateful for Queen and Rook and their game selections! Got the latest version of Unlock! and although it was at times a challenge it was a great time racing the clock to solve the puzzles and complete the missions! Similar to an escape room, it was a blast solo and with friends!
Thanks for the suggestion guys!!

Great service and great selection of games! The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. I've been here twice already and I've thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, the food (of which there's a great selection of vegan and gluten free options), and the games available. I highly recommend checking it out. It's an awesome and accepting space that I will definitely be going back too.

This place is THE best! Ed, Jeanne, Manny, Mandy, Mickie and Gabby are awesome! And that's just the staff whose names I got. They are all great!
The location is warm and welcoming. The selection of games to play and for sale is staggering. The staff are very knowledgeable about the games being played and are more than happy to come and teach and assist you. By the way, they sell teas that are fantastic! Made locally, it was the perfect beverage for board gaming on a December night. They serve vegetarian fare and have a liquor license as well. They have or host events several times a week. If you are in the Philly area and board games are your thing then you definitely need to check out the Queen & Rook Game Cafe!
