    About the Business

    'Round the Table is an all ages boardgame shop & bottle pub. Not only do we stock popular as well as niche and indie boardgames and role-playing books, but also an assortment of open games for customers to pick up and play. We are a Pub too, with 17 rotating taps of craft beers, ciders, meads, sodas, kombuchas and coffees. There are weekly events including Magic the Gathering tournaments and meet ups, among other games like Star Wars X-Wing and Android: Netrunner. We have a 250sqft Game Room for hosting these tournaments but it is also available for large gaming groups to reserve for themselves. Although the pub does serve food, the main attraction is the 16 flavors of locally made Full Tilt ice cream, and patrons are not discouraged from bringing in food from outside restaurants like Little Caesars, Subway, etc. Community events are often run by regulars! Some examples are our Co-Operative Gaming Mondays and War Game Wednesdays. Other fun events like brewers nights are not uncommon either.

      Around the Table is a friendly board gaming store that is always bustling with events! They have their own Discord and when I asked way back if there was a regular board game night, they added it to the weekly schedule and it's been going ever since. It felt really awesome to have that direct connection to the people running the store and be heard like that.

      They save tables for events and you can also reserve a table online if you'd like since it's pretty small overall. Everyone I've met - both the other people attending the board game night and the staff - have been super friendly. Staff will come around and chat about games when they have a moment since they also serve some basic eats & drinks on top of checking out people buying games.

      They are also SO NICE about letting you bring in food from other restaurants! I went through a time where I was SUPER SENSITIVE to dairy and gluten and couldn't have anything on their menu so I was very thankful that they even advertise outside restaurant food is ok! I recommend making another purchase from them (like a drink or game) if you take advantage of this.

      I will always buy a board game from here first vs big-box. A great local shop to support!

      What a cool place!

      We visited a friend in Edmonds area for my husbands birthday. It was a great escape for the desert heat! That being said, we were looking for something fun to do one afternoon and being big board game lovers, Around the Table Game Pub seemed like such a perfect find!

      They do take reservations online to reserve tables in two hour increments for game sessions, but also have ample walk in seating outside and inside. In addition to being a board game pub they offered lots of varies games for sale or other world building accessories. They seemed to have used and new games available.

      Their menu featured plentiful of coffee options, beers, kombucha, a few menu items such as corn dogs and waffles fries and ice cream. They even had Blue Moon?! I felt like i was back in Michigan! One of the employees joked how they got various unique flavors in that sometimes were location specific, so definitely a fun surprise.

      We ended up visiting them twice, one for a mid morning game session and one for an afternoon. It was such a great way to past the time and they seem to have a great presence in the community. They have various events going on throughout the month. If you are interested in board games or want to get started, they seem like a great spot to start!

      I also loved that they did not have a cover charge, such as some game shops have, unless you order, which I do understand and I am sure helps with use and overhead of wear and tear on the games, but they seem to be a community gem and get ample support. Would definitely visit again!

      Service was great and everyone was so friendly on both of our visits.

      I've been coming to Around the table for years.

      I absolutely love everything about it. Reserving a table is free, staff is friendly and will remember you, and other patrons are great!

      This place is pretty great! I stopped by with a friend to play some games and had a great time there. The place is pretty spacious with tables to play. They also have a game library so you don't have to buy or bring your own games. They serve drinks and food as well. I can't comment on the food but I like they're glad that they carried mead and cider since I'm not much of a beer drinker.

      If you're looking for a Friendly Local Game Store in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area, this place should be at the the top of your list. They have a wonderful selection of games to buy, a great tabletop library to borrow from, ample room to play, a great event schedule, and a wide variety of reasonably-priced food and drinks.

      Why not 5 stars? The food is prepared in the same space as the gaming tables, and there doesn't appear to be active ventilation present. My family, which contains some sensitivities and respiratory issues, asked if we could take the games to one of their outside tables. It's a shame, because the space is otherwise very inviting of settling in for a lengthy board game session.

      With a few HVAC tune-ups, this is a 5 star establishment.

      Someone stop me or I won't stop gushing about this place. Likely one of my favorite spots in the surrounding Seattle area.

      The staff are all super helpful and friendly, and you might just want to chat them up if it's your first time because of how many amazing things this place provides! They have beer on tap, really solid savory snacks, and if you're in the mood for big tubs of delicious ice cream that come in unique/classic flavors. After you grab a table, be sure to check out the game library to borrow from a large collection or board games. Bring a friend!

      Plenty of seating, though sometimes there are game events that occupy a section of the pub.

      I have never been to a board game pub and was blown away here. Nick was an amazing employee, super informative and welcoming. Ton of board game expansions and variants that you might never know about unless you hear about it or see it in a setting like this. There's a game library to try out different games inside, so something chill to do with friends and low cost, if at all. No cost to try out a game but there's food to share which is a great deal to sit down, snack, play games, and enjoy company. Waffle fries here are crispy and delicious by the way.

      A friend had recommended this place and I thought it sounded like a great place to hang out. My son and I stopped by yesterday and explored some of the game offerings. Unfamiliar with "game pubs" , I asked the only employee I saw how it " worked" ...meaning, did we bring our own games or did the shop provide games, etc. Well, I received an extremely rude, arguably hostile, reply. I felt very unwelcome in the space (are game spaces just for bros?). So we thanked the worker and walked out. We won't be back.

      This place is tiny but COZY! The first thing I noticed was in the bathroom they had pads and tampons! Different sizes too! in the bathroom! The food was actually very good. Tastes better than DQ chicken! The games they have on rack are actually good interesting ones! Also not a ridiculous price! The tables were VERY CLEAN! And ready for us to come in. The time felt short but he did do an intense game. I do wish there was an option to extend the times but turning the tables is how you make buisness. So I get it but that's one thing I wished was different. And the guys at the register felt like I was talking to a good friend! Definitely coming back!

      ALSO IM LACTOSE INTOLERANT! IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY SO I COUDLNT HAVE CAKE BUT THEY HAD VEGAN ICE CREAM! Actual good flavors!!
