Tavern of Tales

Went for the Marvel Pre-Release. The MTG cards they have on hand are great and the staff are all super friendly. It was more spacious than it looks from the outside, multiple DnD rooms. I had a great time.

I recently moved here for the summer and was exploring Mission Hill when I found this place which was basically a one stop for fun board games, studying or work, coffee, drinks, and food. I frequently came to eat, drink, and play with friends and it was a wonderful experience. However, tonight I realize the business really needs to rethink training their staff and/or properly establishing business hours of operation. At a little after 8:30 PM, I decided to drop by with a couple of my friends to order their food to go. We were then promptly told that their kitchen was closed despite Google saying their kitchen closes at 9:00 PM, and the place itself closing at 10:00 PM. We were disappointed and decided to leave, but came back around 8:50 PM to get their cocktails (that’s how bad we like and wanted their food or drinks). We explicitly stated that we wanted to just sit at the bar and have some drinks. However, once again, we were refused at the door, being told that they were no longer serving food and coffee. They claimed they were still serving drinks, but a tall white male server/bartender in the back dismissively tells the host/server that they were no longer seating. At 8:50 PM. When they close at 10:00 PM. That is absolutely absurd and quite frankly just seemed like they didn’t want to serve us for no reason other than laziness and contempt. Please fix your hours and your staff’s attitude.

Trivia night event had diverse categories and spit into two sections with adequate "halftime" space between. Enough time to discuss team answers with a 30 second alert to question submission. The questions were read aloud as well as displayed on the TV screen. Choose your points to wager once question is revealed. Prizes after each of the two halfs for 1, 2, 3 places. Food and drink options had a sizable variety and well executed. Only wish was a vegan option. (they were able to adapt and offer pretzel bits without butter and flat bread pizza without cheese). The beef sliders were a hit at our table. The staff is friendly and provided full service - making sure everyone was taken care of, cleaning off table, and always walking around. The restaurant was very clean and a great space. The bar had enough seating for a team (s) as well as, booth and chair seating. A fun night and would go again.

Potentially my favorite experience at a restaurant. The food was very good and the experience in the game room was unmatched. Specifically, Andrea was the most amazing waitress. She was super attentive, fun, and high energy throughout the entirety of our 4 hour reservation. She was hands down the best waitress I have ever had. I would highly recommend her and would love to see her in the future. Amazing 10/10 time with friends!

Incredible drink menu with lots of unique cocktails and knowledgeable picks for beer. A couple of shots started us off and really prepared us for an awesome experience. We shared the tator tots which had the perfect amount of crunch and texture. Beer cheese is a must-have addition! The black bean melt was absolutely killer, much to my delight! The chicken in the Caesar salad was juicy and the house made dressing was delectable. Cheers to the Tavern of Tales bartender and kitchen staff for making our otherwise dreary Monday fun and unforgettable. Can’t wait for our next visit! 😁
