The Tabletop Tavern

You'll find yourself on Catherine Street heading towards the Cathedral quarter, pushing open the door to discover a proper local's sort of place. The Tabletop Tavern isn't trying to be clever about what it does—it's simply a bar where the main event is the collection of board games lining the shelves. Order a drink, grab a game from the stack, and settle in for the evening. Whether you're a Carcassonne veteran or someone who just wants an excuse to sit down with friends over something better than small talk, this spot gets it. The vibe is unpretentious and genuinely welcoming, the kind of place where regulars actually know the staff and newcomers feel immediately at home.
