Welcome to Games District, Craiova's first and only board game café, where fun collides with flavors! Nestled at Aleea Matei Basarab 2, this vibrant spot invites you to step away from the digital world and immerse yourself in a cozy atmosphere filled with laughter, strategy, and delightful snacks. Whether you're a seasoned board gamer or a curious newcomer, Games District has something to offer everyone.

As you enter, you'll be enveloped by the sounds of dice clattering and friendly banter. With an extensive collection of board games to choose from, it's easy to lose track of time. Games District isn't just about playing; it's about making memories. The staff is ever so accommodating, eager to teach you the rules of any game you fancy. As one satisfied customer, Ispas Catalin, mentioned, “The staff's friendly, and they have anything you'd want,” confirming the welcoming spirit that thrives here.

But what's a gaming experience without some delicious refreshments? The menu offers a delightful selection of delicious food and drinks. Imagine savoring a slice of pizza that's just the right balance of crunchy and cheesy while competing against friends in a strategy game. The flavors are crafted to satisfy all taste buds, from savory snacks to sweet treats. Although Erez pointed out that some drinks might be a bit sweet for certain tastes, it's clear that there are plenty of options to please your palate.

Games District stands out not only for its diverse range of games and tasty menu but also for its appealing ambiance. Customers like Diana and Sofia have shared their joy in spending hours in this lively café, where the atmosphere encourages laughter and camaraderie. “Such a great place for having a funny afternoon with your friends,” Diana wrote, encapsulating the spirit of connection that permeates this venue.

While the buzzing atmosphere is filled with excitement, a suggestion was made to consider installing acoustic panels to enhance the experience further. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy their game without the clamor of voices overlapping? Regardless, Games District remains an ideal getaway for those seeking offline entertainment with friends.

In conclusion, Games District is more than just a café; it’s a community gathering place where friendships are forged over board games, laughter, and good food. With its affordable prices, friendly staff, and an endless selection of interactive games, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by. Whether you're a local or just passing through, take a moment to unplug and relish the simple joy of gaming at Games District – you won’t regret it!

The only boardgame pub from craiova. It's really cheap, the staff's friendly, the menu has anything you'd want. There are many boardgames you can play and the staff is always happy to teach you how.

One of our favorite places in the city! a great place to spend quality, offline time with friends. Plenty of board games and a superb atmosphere. Chips and snacks are good too! drinks were too sweet to our taste. My only recommendation (yet an important one) would be to install acoustic panels in the ceiling. The place is meant to host plenty of people but is very noisy inside even when there's only two occupied tables (due to sound being locked and reverberated until it decays). Fix this to make us stay for longer!
