No cover charge. The games are free to play—just order food or drinks from the menu. The business model is a pub that happens to have an extraordinary game library, not an arcade with a food counter.

Hundreds of board games (from Settlers of Catan to Codenames), card games, and retro console stations. Staff can recommend games based on your group size and experience level. New titles are added regularly.

Level One welcomes all ages during daytime hours. After 9:00 PM on weekends, the atmosphere shifts more toward adults. Daytime visits on Tuesday through Thursday are ideal for families with children.

Q: Do I need a reservation at Level One Game Pub?

Reservations are not accepted—it is first-come, first-served. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest. Arrive before 6:00 PM on weekends or visit on a weeknight for the best chance at a table.
