Our Gaming Community

Since 2023, The Board Bartender has consistently participated in the local Kingston area through events and functions. Growing it's part in the gaming community and connecting with the downtown area, The Board Bartender plans to open an establishment where players can connect with each other and enjoy the city's vibes in the future. See below for past initiatives and gatherings where you may have seen The Board Bartender.

  • Studio 330

    For well over a year, players have been enjoying the biggest selection of our games at Studio 330 at the corner of Barrie and Queen downtown on the last Saturday of every month. For only $10, players get an all-you-can-play experience with over 100 games to choose from. Snacks and games await you and your friends on your next visit.

  • Princess Street Promenade

    Thanks to the generous support of Dino's Barber Shop, a lasting legacy in Kingston, we have been able to do our iconic Giant Tumble Tower contest since 2023! Every Promenade, we can be found near the corner of Princess and Clergy bringing fun, smiles, and games to kids and adults alike. Wander the Promenade and we'll be sure to catch you next time.

  • One Eyed Jack

    From pop-up events on Monday and Wednesday evenings in the summer of 2024, One Eyed Jack has grown to have all-day gaming every Monday. 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. There's something for everyone each Monday up on Division Street.
