Reviews for The Castle: A Board Game Cafe in Beverly, MA
Nice atmosphere, unique place, good food. A bit too expensive. I went there for a drag show for pride month once—waited all... night and it never happened. But it’s a good place to meet people and form friendships and ties to the community. Read more
The food is adequate and atmosphere is a little too loud for my taste but the service has been a living nightmare the staff I... have no problem with but the owners are self-absorbed, they were Snarky and condescending to my sibling, anytime we wanted toremove something from the tab it was always a back and forth fight like "why do you want this removed" "it tastes just fine""this took a lot of work to make why can't you just pay for it" and why would I pay for something I didn't eat or enjoy it'sjust one thing after another with the owners. I would go to play d&d there and we would spend plenty of money but one time therewas 2 people sitting at the 12 person table and just because they were friends with the owners we had to go to a much smallertable and had to get creative with where everyone would sit and ended up having 3 people stand the entire time we were there allbecause these 2 people wanted to talk to the managers from the 12 person table even though there is a bar counter not even 2feet away that had no one sitting there so there was absolutely no reason for those 2 people to be sitting the extra 1.5 feetcloser to the kitchen taking up a table meant 12 people.

Drove all the way over for the kitchen to be closed an hour and a half before closing. Probably not going to bother chancing it... again. Thanks for the response, but the place was very busy when I showed up an hour and a half before close. Wasn’t a“slow night”. And even if that was the case- maybe you should give people a heads up anywhere on your Google page or websitethat you randomly close the kitchen an hour and a half before you close before they drive several towns over.

I love boardgame cafes and this one is another enjoyable spot to add to the list! A nice assortment of games to choose from... ranging in difficulty and sorted in a way to find what suits you and your party needs. The food was also good! My boyfriend andI visiting Salem were happy to find this spot and will be back next time we visit! Read more
Probably the best board game cafe I've ever been to. Their selection of food and drinks is as comprehensive and solid as their... collection of games. The space is comfortable and practically decorated and the staff is friendly and helpful. Read more
Best board game cafe ever! Excellent selection of games, great food, great service, free parking in the back, and room for large... groups. Very LGBT friendly, a great alternative to bars or clubs for a good time with friends. Read more
This place is amazing! They have a very cool vibe, while simultaneously exuding a friendly atmosphere that's approachable for... casual card gamers and RPG devotees alike. I loved seeing a group of teens enjoying games one table away from the family out forgame night and the eight adults engrossed in an intense strategy game. The Castle truly had unique appeal for anyone who enjoysgames . . . and I'm fairly certain they have any game you can think of! The food was delicious, with several gluten freeoptions (if anyone is wondering). They have excellent lattes (with df/allergen alternative options) and a refreshing lineup ofcocktails. You can enjoy apps, get bottomless popcorn, have a meal, or even order up a plate of fresh house made cookies . . .the menus are even written entertainingly! I highly recommend this place for any size group interested in fun interactive timewell spent. Read more
