One Eyed Jack
From pop-up events on Monday and Wednesday evenings in the summer of 2024, One Eyed Jack grew to have all-day gaming every Monday in 2025 and into 2026. Players have enjoyed games over dinner, while sharing a pint with a friend, on the patio, and while catching the big game on the screen. Keep an eye on future events for pop-ups down the line.
Past Pop-Up Events
The Board Bartender has hosted events from single pop-ups to regular weekly events for a whole season. By partnering with local businesses, The Board Bartender has brought gaming to all corners of Kingston and players of all backgrounds so that everyone can try out the fun we bring to their local restaurant or bar. Let your local spot know if you are interested in us bringing game night for the first time or for a repeat pop-up.
