Review The Board Room - Arlington

Michael Lee
Absolute worst bartender I've ever interacted with. She acted like she had 20 different people hounding her for orders when really it was just me and 2 of my friends waiting at the bar. It's like she's never interacted with another living person before. Absolutely rude and messed up my order. I ordered a Salmon burger and an appetizer, but she only charged me the burger. She then went ahead and charged me for the burger and the appetizer on another transaction, so now I got charged twice for my burger. Why not just charge me for the appetizer only on the second transaction? I should've known better to get food else where after asking her the first time around for beer. I asked her "what do you recommend on tap?" I got an unfriendly response of "Just scan the QR code." Luckily, the guy at the bar was nice enough to give a friendly suggestion, or I would've just left. The people that gather there are great and they create a an awesome atmosphere, but the actual establishment and employees were a shame. Don't recommend this place, and they definitely lost my business for sure. Here is a recommendation to the owner, find some people to man your bar that actually have social skills.

The Board Room is more of a hang out restaurant than a board game cafe. This place seems to be very popular with college students The food is very good and the service was very attentive. There is a large area of dining space indoors and a fair amount of outside dining tables as well. Parking is available at a nearby garage ($10 for >2 hours) but there is street side parking in the neighborhood after 7pm. The board games were very lacking. They have multiple copies of the most popular games (sequence, Monopoly, ticket to ride) but overall the selection was low. It is a $2 charge to play games. While there is ample lighting during the day, the restaurant needs more lighting at night. It's very dark when you are trying to play board games. They have shuffleboard and darts.

Board game selection was adequate with multiple copies of the favorites like Catan. Food was very average pub fare and nothing to write home about, but the beer is their own brew and it is pretty good. Atmosphere was fun with everyone playing different games.

The Board Room is a bar that has a beautiful private party room that is perfect for intimate sit down parties/events. All inclusive - you order food, desserts and cocktails. The manager and staff are very attentive. I highly recommend.

Cool place and fun trivia. Just terrible service. Expect to have your table checked on every 45 mins. If you want drinks, you’ll have to walk to the bar (usually crowded) and order there. The wait staff sits around and watches TV/gossips instead of doing their jobs

Bummer of a visit on St. Patrick's day (early - 4:30 pm). less than 20 folks in the place but plenty of staff. first drink order went 'fairly' quickly, however, ball was dropped after that. we wanted to order food and another beer (we were dry) but they never came back. Instead they all huddled together chatting while one person squeezed orange juice in the machine. Belgian beer was 'ok' but the line wasn't clean enough and the beer was flat. Can't speak about the food as we checked out when someone finally did come back to wait on us.

Fun spot to snack and pass the time. Great beers on tap. Really cool concept. Highlight memory - my husbands first double three card run in cribbage.

I like the atmosphere and concept of the Board Room. It is a nice place to hang out and play games with friends after work. However, their food and service is really mediocre. I ordered a burger and the patty was too rare and bloody that I had to ask them to recook it. I saw some comments with the same issue.

I'd highly recommend that the next time your manager decides to yell "f*** you" to a client who has brought over 60 patrons to your venue, a venue that you've double-booked with a separate event on the same night, you think before speak. I can only assume that you were drunk, since you had a beer in hand while attempting to manage your space. A horrible experience. I wouldn't recommend this space to anyone!

Every board game you can imagine playing and some! Completely takes us back to how much fun life was (too!) without our cell phones; solid place to chill solo, enjoy a date or have fun as a group. They have countless beers on tap and offer generous portions from a food menu designed by a rock star chef. Ms Peacock Champagne Lounge is a James Bond-esque gem, serving hip cocktails and choice bubbles. Excited for Spring to enjoy the patio as well!

Great casual space. Large portions and really good food. Delicious beer with good happy hour prices. Will definitely be back!

The place was awesome. Last time we went there it was a brewery and dead with bad food. Now the place was rocking and the food was good too.

Awesome space! Great location to rent out for big events or host a birthday party. Went on a Monday night which was calm and the food/drinks were on point and enjoyed some quiet games with friends. Summer will be amazing with that patio!

Unacceptable customer service experience tonight at The Board Room VA ...treated with utmost disrespect and vulgar language from a manager/owner who was drinking on the job. That’s the LAST TIME I’ll be patronizing this establishment. Seems like that location is cursed with bad service.
