I've been wanting to check this place out for a long time, and I'm glad I did! It was lively and had a good collection of board games, many of them seemed barely touched. We played for hours in a cozy corner, enjoyed our warm tea, and planned to be back soon!

I loved the vibe at this place! My group was playing more traditional games (Scrabble, clue) between a group playing dungeons and dragons, and a family with small children.It felt so welcoming and inclusive of everyone who likes all kinds of games :) Food and drink was also excellent, and prices were very reasonable.

Great board games and they even have old game consoles to play video games, overall great setup and selection, and for $8.50 all-day cover it’s a good deal!

I was looking for a place to play boardgames and came upon Adventurers Guild. What luck! I visit boardgame cafes and arcades often as my wife and son (6) enjoy both. This place has it all. Although I own a large collection of tabletop and videogames you need to get out and this place has heart. We played My Little Scythe, Fireball Island and Donkey Kong Country on the SNES which was great but truely the staff, decor/atmosphere and patrons of the Adventurers Guild were the standout features of our night. We got pizza, milkshakes and some craft beers. I can’t wait to bring my friends here. Totally worth the drive in from Fergus! Tell your friends! This is a solid gaming destination for all ages.

Friendly staff, super cool interior and a massive selection of games board and otherwise.They also have a very good selection of cool beers and pretty interesting menu.You can get a decent snack, drink or pizza. I am definitely going back for the Dungeons and Dragons drop in sessions.

My friends and I have frequented The Guild for years, figure a review is long overdue ?I cannot recommend this place enough, the atmosphere is fantastically cozy and every drink I've ever tried here has been a Potion of Delicious. Highly recommend the Misty Mountain, London Fog or Hot Chocolate. The pizzas are tasty too but the overall food selection is a bit limited—though honestly the menu isn't the main draw anyway, so I don't see this as an issue.The game selection is fantastic as well, and I love the mix of board games and retro games. The staff are all very kind, and I love the overall vibe of geeky camaraderie with fellow patrons—The Adventurers Guild has really created a space for folks to feel comfortable and authentic, which is so appreciated.Overall, I highly recommend journeying to the Guild on your next adventure!! ????‍♂️✨Parking: There's a few street parking spots directly out front, but there is also a large parking garage almost directly across the street. So there's always options for nearby parking, just a matter of if it's paid or not. Given that it's downtown Kitchener, this is pretty standard though.

Good location, great crowd, good vibes, very friendly staff. Only downside is that the food selection (other than drinks) is a bit limited and on the pricier side of things. I will be returning.

Overall, this board game cafe is a treasure trove of entertainment and social interaction. It's a place where nostalgia meets innovation, and where the joy of playing board games transcends age and background. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or just looking for a fun way to unwind, this establishment is an absolute must-visit.
