Gamers Geekery & Tavern

Gamers Geekery & Tavern turns the second floor of MacGregor Village into Cary’s original board game cafe, pairing a massive lending library with table service in a relaxed tavern setting. Guests pay one all-day table fee to settle in for extended campaigns, card nights, or casual learn-to-play sessions, while friendly staff keep the pace comfortable with refills and game suggestions. Memberships waive that fee, add retail discounts, and make it easy for regulars to drop by weekly leagues or casual gatherings.

The kitchen leans into approachable pub fare, from toasted sandwiches and flatbreads to loaded hot dogs and shareable snacks that fit between turns. Behind the bar, rotating taps spotlight North Carolina craft beer alongside ciders, wines, and house-favorite meads, with tasting flights for guests who want to explore new pours.

Five distinct rooms, including a private RPG den and an esports viewing lounge, give hosts flexibility for birthdays, bachelor parties, or corporate team-building. Ongoing programming features Magic: The Gathering Commander nights on Mondays, Youth D&D Adventures League on Wednesdays, adult D&D on Thursdays, and a monthly Tuesday trivia, so there is always a community challenge on deck. Warm, welcoming energy and curated shelves make it a natural hub for families, date nights, and hobby groups looking to reconnect offline.
