Boards & Brews
941 Elm St, Bedford, NH
Crema's Take
“Boards & Brews is a board game lover's sanctuary where the real specialty is pairing expertly crafted drinks with an overwhelming library of games—from heavy strategy titles like multiple versions of Catan to cooperative games perfect for groups. The staff, particularly bartenders like Chantal, bring genuine warmth and knowledge to both the beverage and gaming experience, making it feel less like a bar and more like gathering in a friend's impossibly well-stocked game room. Whether you're celebrating a birthday in their private room or dropping by for a casual afternoon, the combination of delicious food, thoughtful drinks, and that rare permission to play *any* game you want creates an atmosphere that keeps locals coming back again and again.”
