Fantastic game bar with excellent creative cocktails. Choose from one of the 200+ games and short circuit the learning wirh explanations from one of their local game masters. Try one of the new cocktails (eye of Sauron was a favourite for us) and enjoy a game night on one of their custom built tables!

This place is incredible. It's everything you could want in a gaming lounge smashed together with a full-service restaurant and bar. They have game-masters on staff so you don't have to burn through precious time learning the games by reading the instructions. Expect to drop some money here. Everything is reasonably priced but it adds up quickly when you factor in the small size of the plates and the cover charge for playing games.

I am a big fan of this place. I have played DND in a private room - amazing. I have attended a DND drag showed twice, hosted here - amazing. I have only had the food/drinks once but they were all delish!

Vigilante is a gem of a spot where the magic of gaming comes to life. Every Tuesday, I’m greeted by the infectious energy of Bex, who ensures every game night is a blast. Kinsey’s warm welcome makes you feel right at home, while RJ’s passion for games is downright inspiring. Sara’s attention to detail makes every visit smooth and enjoyable. And let’s not forget Rob, whose culinary creations are as imaginative and delightful as the games we play. The staff here, including so many others, truly make Vigilante a haven for gamers. The atmosphere is electric, the community is welcoming, and the experiences are always top-notch. A big shout-out to the entire team for making every visit a five-star adventure!

I go for the food and the arcade game at the bar. They have a small assortment of small plates, but the ones they have are super good. They have a hand spun milkshake that is worth stopping in for. The whole point of this place is to play board games and I haven’t even done that yet 😝

EXCELLENT concept, food, service, and game options with super nice bathrooms!!! My partner an I had an awesome date here and I’ve been wanting to return since. Vigilante’s not only a great date spot but they’re also good for large groups, and they offer private speakeasy-style rooms for private events. I’ll definitely be returning, soon.

Great little spot for drinks and some really surprising small plates. Cocktails are always spot on and the staff is great. The burger was a pleasant surprise, as was the mac and cheese. Not the biggest spot, so you may have a wait if you wanna sit inside.

Amazing games, great staff, and fantastic vibes. We were able to book a BOOKCASE ROOM which is in itself cool.Ordering menu items in 3's gets you a discount and you can stagger or have all items come out at once.The quality of the food and drinks are great and the portions are good enough to try multiple items.Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try new games and not having to buy them!
