Cheap drinks, great atmosphere! They have tons of board games and Xbox consoles.
If you want to play Fifa, you have to seat next to the bar. Cuz only on those consoles Fifa works actually.

Really nice place, only option for food is snacks but that makes sense as it’s a boardcafe so don’t expect a meal here! Staff is nice, laid back people. Only thing lacking is i wish there were more English games!
Great wee pub with lots of board games (mostly in polish just for foreign visitors) a couple of xboxs with lots of games on them and all the cocktails have gaming related names and are very very tasty.
Would recomend swinging past here even if you're not that geeky it is well worth a visit.

Great game pub with consoles and a lot of board games. Perfect for a chill night with a group of friends enjoying a board game and some drinks. The barman was kind and recommended us a fun game for two.
One of the best pubs I've ever been to (long time gamer). Such a beautiful experience, lots of games for everyone (board games too!!) Such friendly staff and they also hold various events, including karaoke! Didn't have any food so can't comment on that but great selection of drinks, even some fantastic mocktails!. Down many stairs so not best accessibility.
My partner saw this advertised in another Polish city, so we thought we'd try Krakow's offering while we were here.
We went quite late at night (9pm) and although we found it easily enough, knowing where to go inside the venue is not as easy as pressing M to open the map. I think we ended up disturbing everyone before finally finding the bar area tucked around the corner.
Although the drinks are well priced and have names related to gaming, the way they were made and presented was just "slap this in a glass and here you go". My partner said that when she ordered a non alcoholic drink, the barman had to keep referencing a recipe sheet, which is not the best look, even if making such a drink is rarer than getting a shiny Pokémon.
In general, the NPCs behind the bar might have needed a Mana Potion for their lack of energy, as they barely spoke, weren't exactly friendly and one of them was more interested in chatting to his friend while puffing on his vape.
The design of the venue was kinda "Mum's basement" (not a negative), very fitting for gamers and everyone was being respectful and not being "pub rowdy".
However, I will say that it was a bit disappointing that everyone was just doing their own thing in singleplayer, with most of the consoles taken up by the same people the entire time we were there.
As for the boardgames, the idea of having to hand over our ID (this was stated on a sign), was not something we were willing to do. Sorry, but I'm not giving a random person my SSR 5-star gacha ticket home.
Thankfully one group of people did share the CaH set with us, which is what made this visit at least somewhat worthwhile for us.
This seems like a kind of place you could be a regular at if you lived in Krakow, but I really can't recommend it for tourists like us who are only going to go once.

We had our older children with us on our trip to Krakow. As we were walking around the old town they insisted we go to a game pub. We weren't keen (the old people) but we had a great time.
Don't knock it until you try!
We played games and had a few drinks, a great night was had, give it a go!

Pretty decent place with a gamey atmosphere and good drinks, expected more arcade games but unfortunately it's mostly just board games though. It was a bit of a shame they didn't have any of the older guitar hero games. Just the new one and I'm not really a fan of that one unfortunately.
