Loading Bar

I love this place. So many board games to choose from and you can also play video games and bring your boardgames from home. Been spending lovely afternoons there and time just flies by. I have to say the staff makes it a really special place, everyone is just so nice and friendly. Great vibes.

Loading Bar in Stoke Newington is a fun spot with a really unique concept, but it doesn’t fully live up to its potential. The whole gaming theme is definitely the highlight... loads of consoles, a good mix of retro and newer games, and a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to hang out for a few hours. It’s great with friends, especially if you’re into casual gaming and drinks. That said, the service can be a bit hit-or-miss. On busy nights it feels understaffed, and getting drinks or help can take longer than it should. Some of the equipment also isn’t always in the best condition, which can be frustrating when you’re mid-game. Drinks are decent but slightly overpriced for what you get, and the space can feel cramped when it’s packed. Overall, it’s a cool idea and a good time if you go in with the right expectations just not quite polished enough to be amazing.

Really cool videogames bar. Unique cocktails, super good burgers (slightly expensive though), huge boardgame and videogame selection. Great customer service.

One of the best places I’ve been to… the vibe is very relaxing and everyone is so nice. I usually get so nervous going to places but I don’t feel that here! The ambiance is welcoming. The prices are decent and their chips are my fav :). Love to Casper for always being so lovely to me and remembering me when I came in the next time!

Really fun and unique bar located in Stoke Newington on the High Street. Lots of space and friendly atmosphere inside. They have a very large assortment of board and card games, great for groups. They also have video games available on the screens. The arcade machines are great, remember to bring £1 coins to use. Nice drinks and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Fun for a date night.
