Bad Moon Cafe Holloway Road

Absolutely amazing evening! We booked a large table to celebrate a friend's birthday, who is a massive board game fan 😁. Matt had been absolutely amazing and accommodating. I had a chat over the phone with him beforehand in order to to check the reservation and the details of such a large group coming 💐. The pizzas were copious and very well done, it was a pleasure to have them whilst discussing and playing. We were able to bring some birthday desserts to celebrate our friend, who had an amazing time with all the games. The ambiance was lovely, the choice of games and miniaturism will absolutely delight anyone into fantasy, sci-fi, board games, etc.

One of the nicest people I have met, they have a section at the front which is for the casual drinking and ordering, they have bigger tables at the back and Longer (high seats kind of high) Tabels in between the back and front. The have boardgames you can use and some you can buy, the shop section (when I visited was Warhammer heavy). Their food is out sourced by Fireaway which is 100% Halal. It takes 20 to 40 min to get ready for food, drinks are instantaneous. The Range of boardgames they have to play is varied and suitable for any number of players, they have the usual lot (like cards against humanity) and the niche ones too. If you are lost and don't know what to play, feel free to ask the lovely folks that work there, they know their boardgame. Price for using a table is cheaper to book online than in person but for in person was 3hours £7 per head. (I believe it's cheaper and longer if booked online) Drinks were not cheap but not central London expensive either. If coffee and boardgames are your thing, or if you just want to try boardgames, this is my current top recommendation at the moment.

Great place. Small but curated collection of board games. The drinks here are also worth getting!

I visit Bad Moon regularly, and have never had anything but a fantastic experience. All the staff are absolutely lovely, and incredibly helpful. The space is perfect for table top gaming of all kinds, and there is a great supply of in-house games as well as a shop for supplies. The food is also delicious!

upon our arrival, we were greeted by very friendly staff. our table, though we were only two people, was big enough to play many types of games, unlike some other board game venues. there was also a large variety of games, and the snacks we had were delicious, as well as the hot drinks! would definitely recommend
