The Tabletop Tap - Englewood, Colorado

Awesome place to come in, nerd out, and just have a good time. I do miss the games in the bar top itself, but this relocate was set up for more board and card game setups so just a different direction, not a bad thing though. The bartenders are super friendly, the drinks were unique and poured well, and the decor was an absolute slam dunk. Keep in mind, you can bring in your own games or pieces if they don't have what you're looking for!

Great non-alcoholic options, amazing atmosphere with super cool decor. Plus the bathroom on the right is so cool! Played a game most of our party had played before. Excited to plan another trip here!

Went here for the first time with my friends and loved it. Fun atmosphere, great bar tenders, and the drinks and beer options were great! They have a whole menu of board games to play while you’re there and old school video games as well as a few arcade games. Looking forward to going back

Great drinks, great decor, and lots of games. This place is definitely a go to for us since we love games and having some good drinks while playing. Highly recommend if you are any kind of nerd!

Great selection of games, oh and drinks! Excellent spot to meet with people or just enjoy some time zoning out to your favourite games. Try a new flavour, test out a board game you have been eyeing at your local shop, grab a drink-non alcoholic drinks available as well!

2024 Edit: I need to take new pics but I started with a couple. The Tabletop Tap has reopened after closing for a bit and now has the cutest bathrooms and a little more sitting space. No more cheese curds though 😭

We got there sometime after 7:00 on a Friday night and that was definitely the time to be there, because within an hour or so most seats were full and if you wanted to play games you’d have to sit at the bar. As it happened, we got a booth because of how early we got there. The drinks I had tasted great and the cheese curds were all right. Very good game selection!

Checking out the new The Tabletop Tap location. I like it! It's bigger, more open, and feels more like a bar. (And there's hard liquor behind the bar, which I don't remember being at the old location.)

Gone are the multigame consoles built into the bar (understandable, for lots of reasons), but several stand-up arcade units line the walls, including a cool Warlords 4-player tabletop game, Asteroids, an old beer bar game, Frogger, a three-in-one Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga machine, Joust, MortalKombat II, and Centipede. As before, there are geeky decorations all over the walls, but they seem more organized, less random than before.

There are hooks and outlets at regular intervals beneath the bar rail. The booths look comfy and are spacious enough for four people to play a standard-sized board game. And of course, there is still a massive wall of games behind the bar for people to play.

There is an enticing neon sign saying "Arcade" that points down some space-carpeted stairs to a dark basement, but they were blocked by a velvet rope. Apparently there is some negotiation that needs to happen with the City of Englewood before that rope can be removed, but when that happens, that promises to be a very cool space.

Like lots of responsible businesses, they now have a self-serve automatic water fountain. I like this trend, personally, but I can see where some might not.

The music is good: mostly '80s; Duran Duran's "The Reflex" is playing as I write this, but it's not so loud that it's inhibiting conversation at all, though I can imagine that the place gets loud when busy.

Nice place, and I'm glad to see it back better than ever.

The Tabletop Tap is a very unique, laid-back bar with a welcoming atmosphere. We absolutely loved that they had Japanese beers available and the arcade games are free to play. Huge selection of boardgames and a very diverse and large beer selection. Would recommend this for anybody who likes a low-key bar vibe that offers plenty of games and plenty of beer.
