Our Guestbook
“ James opened up the space for my friend' s birthday party. It was very comfortable, with loads of board games, space to play and a surprising amount of yummy food and beverage offerings. This is a great and much needed place for hangouts. I will definitely return. ”
“ My knitting group and I come here once a month and we love it! The drinks are so fun (I'm a big fan of ordering whatever the special is and trying something new!), the service is good, and the place is spacious. The owner is really kind and accommodating, and we're grateful that we can sit and knit for two hours at a time. I've never played games there, but their selection is humongous, and I regularly hear friends commenting that they've been to play and enjoyed themselves. We'll keep coming back, for sure. ”
“ One of the few dedicated board game places in Ottawa. Perfect to bring your own game and play while having drinks or desserts. Their board game collection used to be awful (despite decent sized), but now they are adding some good games there. Ottawa needs more passionate business like these. ”
“ Very nice layback place if you want an inexpensive board games place or just hang out with friends for chats. Many board games from traditional to strategy and card. Of all sorts. Open space and food /drink varieties are reasonably priced. There is a one time board game fee per person (4) if you want to play but no time limit. Definitely will go back again !!! ”
“ Hangout in Somerset is a great place to relax with friends. The vibe is casual and fun, with tasty food and drinks. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere makes it perfect for a laid-back outing. Definitely a spot to check out! ”
“ The owner is SO great- loves to talk about warhammer, extremely generous, extremely transparent about ingredient sourcing and prices. He made us popcorn while we played! Tons of board games and warhammer options. You can easily spend hours here. Clean, quiet and high quality to spend your afternoon in. James is a perfect store owner and the Hangout is one of ottawas brightest gems ”
“ Can’t comment on food as we only got the matcha lattes, but the drinks were nice, and it was a nice casual spot to play games and “hangout” ;) with friends ”
“ I can't comment on the food, as I only had a bubble tea, but this is a cozy and very friendly place with a large selection of board games. The owner was the only staff the night we were there, and he clearly puts all his heart in creating a welcoming little hangout. ”
