About

We’re membership-based.

Maybe you’ve come across board game cafes where you pay to rent a table for a few hours - those are great, but we’re going for something a little different. As a member, you’ll come as often as you like and stay as long as you want. Without even trying, you’ll start to notice familiar faces; and with a little luck, Tabletop Library will become that mythical third place.

We have an AI concierge to organize pickup games.

Dying to try “Dust Meridian 1849”, but none of your friends or family will go near it? Our members will. Text our automated concierge what and when you want to play, and it’ll recruit like-minded members and get the game on the table for you.

It’s a nice place.

We put a lot of effort into making Tabletop Library a place that you’d want to hang out - nice, but not showy… like a living room.

We have a huge game collection.

Tabletop Library has over 1,000 games. We’ve stocked our collection with the most interesting rare and out of print games. If you’re looking to play the latest hard-to-find game, you can count on us to be the first to have it. If there’s a deluxe version of a game, that’s the one we have - and we have a variety of premium components to elevate your gaming experience.

How we shelve them so you can find a game →

We’re not just nerds.

Board games are having a moment (they’re bigger than pickleball). If playing a six hour game about optimizing hydraulic infrastructure isn’t your idea of fun, we’ll help you find something that brings you to the table - a social game that gets everyone laughing, or a cooperative game where everyone is on the same team, or a cozy card game that takes 2 minutes to learn and ages to master.

We have events most days.

We’ve got something for everyone - game of the month, learn to play sessions, tournaments, and classic game nights like Mahjong and chess.

We have a little food.

We have drinks, snacks and a few other nice packaged foods - no alcohol or stuff you’d cook in an oven. But you’re welcome to order/bring food.

We sell games too.

We have a small retail section - accessible to non-members - where we sell a carefully curated collection of our favorite games. Members get a discount and can pre-order new games, making us the fastest and least expensive way to buy games.

We have 500 record albums.

If you enjoy the excuse to standup every 22 minutes, our back room has a record player with excellent sound, and a collection of hundreds of jazz and classical records.

We host private events.

Reserve tables for a game night anytime. Or rent the vinyl back room or even the entire space for team events, birthdays, or special gatherings. We can help arrange food and game curation plus teaching games to ensure an excellent event for everyone.
