So many cities now have board game cafes/stores where you can go play, have snacks, etc. Here are some of my favorites from across the US!

In addition to dedicated board game cafes, there are a lot of bars where people will bring their own games in Seattle. I've included a mix of formal cafes and bars where people often game.
Philadelphia

Philadelphia has a few cafes downtown that are fun for gaming. Both have full kitchens in addition to board games meaning you can stay for hours!
Boston

Boston doesn't have a ton of traditional board game cafes unfortunately. Knight moves used to have a second location but it has closed.
Minneapolis

Several big game developers are actually based in Minneapolis (or just outside the city).
San Francisco Bay Area

There are board game shops all over the Bay Area! Here are a few of my favorites that I've been to.
