The Loft - Ottawa, Ontario

I come to this place fairly often, and I even came with a large group from the university once. The staff are always kind and accommodating, and they are very knowledgeable about the various games. They have a great selection of games, and are very good at finding replacement pieces ... when something is too damaged or is lost in a game. The food is decent, it's not what I come to the place for but they always have some good options. The single time that we got bad service (our order didn't get sent to the kitchen properly), the staff were super kind, brought us a complimentary dessert, and waived the time limit on Friday nights since we didn't get our food for over an hour after we were supposed to. These things happen, and I was very happy with how it was handled. Read more

Always have a good time when I go. The servers are all pretty knowledgeable and always friendly! This place gets pretty busy, made a reservation which was perfect. Got a table with gaming consoles vs the usual. Still broke out a board game tho! Stayed for the full 3hrs without ... even realizing, time Flys when your having fun. Read more

Loved this place! The game wizards recommended amazing games! The drinks were delicious as well! Had the best cosmo here! 10/10 would recommend

Lots of games to choose from but since I'm a massive baby I opted for Battleship and Connect 4. Riveting I know. Cozy environment for games and eats. Our server was super accomodating, didn't catch his name but it was the bearded guy with the glasses (unsure if that narrows it ... down). Ordered the Wild West Poutine as my first meal in the city. Didn't disappoint! A true poutine? Perhaps not. Filling and delicious? Quite. Will be back for another chill evening next time we're in town. Read more

They have almost all the board games you could think of, and the staff is always so helpful and welcoming, even when the place is full, which is often the case! I suggest trying their unique house-made dice candy.
