Hex and Company East

One of my favorite locations, there’s a lot of memories to be made in this place and in my experience the staff has been very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is so cozy and their game selection is huge, will always come back when I have the chance.

I came to this venue with a group of ladies, all of us in our mid-30s, to play board games, have a drink, and spend a fun evening together. My group had already ordered drinks, and I went to the counter myself to order a glass of wine when I was asked for ID. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my physical ID with me, but I offered to show several forms of electronic ID instead. And, no matter how highly I think of myself, I obviously do not look under 21. The manager explained that she legally could not serve me without a physical ID, which I understood, even though it felt a bit excessive. So I let it go. One of my friends later brought me a glass of wine to the table, and we were honestly just laughing about the whole situation. But then, what I believe Emma, came over to our table with a very unfriendly attitude and told me she had to remove the drink from the table. At that point, it honestly just felt unnecessary and overly aggressive. We would have happily stayed there longer, kept playing games, ordered more drinks and food, and spent more money at the venue, but the whole interaction completely changed the atmosphere for us. I personally didn’t care that much about the alcohol itself, but my group felt awkward and guilty that I was the only person sitting there with water while my wine glass was literally taken away from the table. I completely understand that venues have rules and policies. But there also has to be some level of common sense, reading the room, and customer service. It was very obvious that I wasn’t trying to scam anyone or sneak in underage. In my personal opinion, the situation could have been handled with a lot more warmth and professionalism. Instead, it felt more like the manager was acting out of principle or maybe just having a bad day, rather than trying to create a positive experience for customers.

This place is definitely cool for having games and supplying TCG to the community. The food is decent and the people are cool depending on who your dealing with. I met great people here. I put a one star for atmosphere because theres a huge gay flag hanging but yet no american flag anywhere. This is obviously a political statement. A big concern for me that theres small children here and the influence is real because they are so impressionable.

This is the perfect spot to bring people together, socialize, and have a chill fun time. I really had a great time here. Came in a party of two on a Sunday night they were pretty busy but not overwhelmingly so. The service was great, very enthusiast employees. It’s a little expensive at $15 per head to play games in addition to drinks. I had a $6 large iced chai latte with almond milk which was decent. We had a great time playing bananagrams, mancala, and connect four. There’s a three hour play limit when they’re super busy and on week days students get $5 off on their game play per head. Would come here again.

They were gracious enough to accommodate us, a party of 5 with no reservation (not recommended) as the place was already crowded when we arrived. This place hosts every single boardgame you could think of, all stacked up along the walls-it was an impressive collection. The service was prompt and courteous every single time despite us ordering sandwiches, drinks, and ice cream at different intervals. I fully enjoyed their eggwich which they made the egg super fluffy 😋 It did get quite rowdy at times but everyone is here for a good time!
