Great place to have food and drink as well as buying and playing games! Going to Friday Night Magic is good, they also run events for other game systems such as D&D and Pokemon.
Best Geek Retreat I've visited. Knowledgeable, affable owner and staff; brilliant selection of stock (including Paramount War!); serviceable space (eight tables) — we'd be here every day if we lived locally!
A great geeky home from home, you have to go in and try it. A very family friendly place and welcoming place for everyone. I loved popping in and chatting with the friendly staff and other customers and enjoyed playing games I love with people who also share the same passion for all things geeky. I
Absolutely incredible team of staff, always so welcoming and helpful, really grateful to have such a wonderful safe space to hang out with! Brilliant food too, definitely will be visiting again
Just got there at opening time last Monday place looks nice bit of an steep ramp entry lots of space to geek out at food menu looks brilliant but on this short visit I did not have time to try eny think staff was friendly and showed me some of the dungeon and dungeon items that they had good place f
Real gem of a find. Very reasonably priced. Really friendly staff who were very informative about our questions on York. Also went that extra mile when I asked if they could do a regular chocolate milkshake rather than the fancy ones on their menu with lots of choc bars and sweets in them! Would rec
Great geek retreat very similar to the other branches I've been to feel much more like a place to stop and play games rather than a store front
As a result you have an incredibly friendly and welcoming team working there with lots of gaming tables and space to play, this is at the cost though of ra
The Atmoshere is fantastic, customer service is outstanding and the food is amazing, all the staff are very friendly and welcoming :)
We received such friendly and inclusive welcome yesterday, my 9 year old was so nervous about coming along as a complete beginner but within minutes he’d been joined by a group of players who were happy to play and chat all things Pokemon. He had a great time, and a great offering of vegan milkshake
Varying learning disabilities here and have always been treated with respect and patience where needed. Learnt a lot from both customers and Staff. Always willing to get in stock where possible and good overall food service. Been coming for over a year now so felt good time to actually leave a revie
I have been coming here for about a year and I'm always treated with respect and the staff are lovely, great service and great food, amazing events and just a positive environment to be in!!! It is remarkable to have staff who respect and relate to my disability (autism) I feel welcomed and apprecia
The owners have worked so hard to create this lovely business. Friendly, inclusive and always innovative. Great food and staff go out of their way to be helpful. A great place to spend an afternoon or evening. Thanks, folks!
Had a brilliant time here! It's a great place to play games and chill out! The staff were very helpful and friendly. My son was invited to play with some regular customers while I chilled out with a coffee and a very tasty bite to eat!
What a nice place. Coffee shop/cafe on site and tables for playing games.
Only in York for a few days, but popped in to check out the scene. Met Rob, who is one of the nicest, most welcoming people I've ever met. Sound like a great scene and might pop back in for DnD nights! (Tues,Wed)
A great place to just 'be' in York. Plenty of boardgames to play and a good menu with plenty of Vegan options. Welcoming and comfortable with lovely staff.
We hired the back room for a birthday boardgame party and the team were absolutely brilliant.
Robb pulled out all the stops providing us with delicious pre-booked food and the team kept us going with drinks including 'secret' milkshake flavours!
It was boiling hot outside but the air con was nice
Just opened, but the layout is really nice and easy to navigate, plenty of tables for play without feeling crowded, and a good selection of free-to-play games. The food is decent (but more of a supplement than a main attraction), and the milkshakes are delicious. Looking forward to visiting again!
Wonderful games shop with amazingly atmosphere! All the staff are super queer friendly and all the staff have zero tolerance to any kind of bigoted nonsense, in case that was a concern :)
What a fantastic store! My two sons are mad on pokemon trading cards, so took them to Geek Retreat York To see what they had. Ben (the proprietor) did a great job looking after them and helped them find exactly what they were after (including a really rare mega charizard ex).
Very family friendly a
