Board games have long been an effective solution to sultry summer afternoons and the chilly iced over weekends of wintertime. Whether you’re snowed in with friends or can’t manage another step in the heavy late summer humidity, busting out a board game is always a great way to pass the time. Here in Tennessee, there’s actually a board game cafe that’s tucked away in the heart of the mid-state. Whether you’re looking for a checkers tournament or a spot to sip on espresso and finagle your way through Catan, Game Point Board Game Cafe in Nashville is just the spot for you.
Game Point Board Game Cafe is located deep in the midst of East Nashville, and is a popular place not only for friends to gather and play a few rounds but also for folks who need a solid cup of joe.
The coffee aspect is run by the ever-popular Bob Bernstein, the mastermind behind local coffee brand Bongo Java. He has spent a quarter of a century building his coffee brand throughout Nashville, and needless to say, he has a solid handle on the success of his new and quirky space.
Rick Keuler serves as the board game enthusiast that stands alongside Mr. Bernstein, coupling fifteen years of personal board game enthusiasm with his partner's coffee savvy.
Game Point itself is meant to serve as a communal space for those who boast a competitive edge as well as friends who are looking to enjoy some fun snacks and delicious drinks while passing the time with a board game or two.
There are all sorts of games that line the walls, which means you don't even need to bring anything of your own. Just a couple bucks to snag something to drink and maybe a plate of hummus and pita, but otherwise, you're off to the races and ready to play.
You can visit for yourself at 107 S 11th Street in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, beginning at noon daily and running through to oscillating hours depending on the day of the week. Make plans to have fun, Tennessee!
