Game Point @ Bongo East

The first coffeehouse in East Nashville is now also home of the city’s first Board Game café.

Bongo East has partnered with Game Point Café, which means there is a curated game library of more than 400 classic, family, cooperative and strategic games for customers to play.  While playing, you are encouraged to have a drink from our extensive coffee menu, enjoy a local craft beer or fill up with a sandwich, salad or snack from our food menu. Throughout the day, we have Game Coaches on hand to help you learn your new favorite game.  There is also a retail section for you to take the fun home with you.   We have a robust selection of game titles priced competitively with online stores so that you can feel good spending your money locally while still getting a great game at a good price.  We can special order titles as well.

UPDATE – Monday January 26th – we are closed today and will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday, 27th) – hope is to be back and running on Wednesday. While we are lucky and have power, our staff aren’t able to get to the cafe yet. Thanks for bearing with us and stay warm out there!

UPDATE– Sunday, January 25th – both the cafe and the store are closed again today. Stay warm and safe all.

UPDATE – Neither the cafe or the Hillsboro Village store will be opening Saturday, January 24th – be careful out there and stay warm!

Magic Monday: Draft and a Draft

February 2 | 6:00 pm

Magic Monday: Draft and a Draft is back! Yes we finally got draft beer (or draught for your purists out there) back online at Game Point!  We start off with a Magic the Gathering booster draft, then add on to that a beer (or signature drink of your choice).  Top that off with three rounds of Swiss with the deck you drafted, each match win getting you a bonus pack.  It all adds up to a fun, fun night.  $30 (plus tax) gets you the cards for the draft, any prize packs you win, and your first drink.

We are most often drafting the most current standard set, but you can check our social media the day of the event for any changes to that night’s format!

This isn’t Wizard Play sanctioned and usually is pretty laid back – a great way to play some Magic, especially if you haven’t played in a while.  Six people minimum for the draft.  We start gathering at 6 pm and registering people as soon as we have six folks.  Then we aim to get started as close to 6:30 pm as we can. Hope you’ll come join us!
