Hex and Company

I've been to different Hex & Co locations throughout the city, and this is my favorite. Good beers on selection, spacious/cozy, and (most importantly) a wide array of games to pick from. I also have to give a shout-out to this location as a private event space. We hosted our wedding reception and were really able to personalize the event with puzzles and unique decorations/wall art with help from their staff, particularly Simon and Olivia. They were gracious enough to let us store some materials early (and pick up well after our formal reservation). Would highly recommend any game enthusiasts check out this location, and can't sing enough praises for the staff in helping us plan our own special event.

We attended a wedding at this location and it was an unexpectedly great location. Simon, the event coordinator, was highly cooperative and rearranged a lot of their own merchandise and wall decorations to accommodate the couple's preferences. Olivia, the lead bartender, also did a phenomenal job at the event.

The gameplay fee itself is reasonable at $15 for three hours, especially considering the wide variety of games available. Overall a good place for board games, but the lack of heat on a cold day and the pricing of food and drinks held this visit back from being a more comfortable experience.

Hex & Company by Union Square is a solid spot for board games and a place we generally enjoy spending time at. The game selection is extensive, the setup is straightforward, and it’s easy to settle in for a few hours of play. During our visit today, however, it was snowing and the space was extremely cold due to a lack of heat, which made it uncomfortable to stay for long periods. Since this is a café where people sit and play games for hours, temperature control really makes a difference in the overall experience. The food and drinks are decent but on the pricier side for the quality. Nothing stood out as bad, but the value doesn’t quite match the cost. That said, Hex & Company is clearly focused on the board game experience rather than dining, so this wasn’t entirely unexpected. The gameplay fee itself is reasonable at $15 for three hours, especially considering the wide variety of games available.

What a really cool idea! We visited from Maryland with our daughter and son in law and look forward to many more visits. The selection of board and card games is incredible, I would never have guessed there was that may games in the entire world! Must be thousands on their shelves to choose from to play while enjoying a beer with friends or family. I recommend NOT drinking until you find the game you really like and learn the rules of that game! Only after getting started should you go grab a beer. A little alcohol goes a long way to making the rules of a new game harder to understand!!! 😉 Price to play was inexpensive. Their beer selection is not huge but they have something for everyone, it is decent beer and well priced. They have food but it is not something to rave about. None of it was bad. Think of it as something to snack on while playing games. Pretzel Bites and chicken tenders were what we ordered. The atmosphere is loud and fun as everyone around you is having a great time. They also have games for sale if you find a game you really enjoyed. This is certainly a place to go if you like beer and board/card games.
