It's a library-like setting with booze and games. Absolutely perfect. The concept is excellent and the food is very good. Quality ingredients are important. Also the staff is extremely knowledgeable. We played a Bob Ross painting game that we were confused about. We asked the server how to play and he knew exactly what to do. It was random and awesome. They have window seats which is a plus. I have a laundry list of people I want to take there. If you like games, you have to go!

I really like this establishment. I ordered the taco salad with chicken and avacado. The food I ordered was fresh, seasoned deliciously and large in portion.
We got to sit in a 'new space'. Since parties tend to spend a bit more time at this restaurant than the average restaurant, they have added seating in a slightly remote area of the building. I was meeting up with friends who I hadn't seen in a while and this was perfect for us! We were not distracted by other parties.
Our server suggested a few games and even sat with us and explained how to play. We tried two different games that she introduced us to and we have a super awesome time.
Really great place to enjoy family or friends and some good food and drinks to go along with quite literally EVERY board game you can imagine at your fingertips. The ONLY reason they didn't get 5 stars is because they have a fee of $5 PER PERSON just to sit down. I understand they don't want someone coming in and loafing all day playing games, but if we're ordering cocktails and food, it should be waived entirely.
Really enjoyed this place! They have like 1000 board games and can recommend whatever you are in the mood for. The food was good and we loved the friendly, laid back atmosphere.

Pieces Board Game Bar and Grill was a real treat and one I want to visit again soon. Fun and fantastic food, games, and atmosphere.
When we went last night we were the first ones to try their newer flag system (literally brought them out and swapped them on tables while we were there). It is a little easier to understand than the old one. The flag system is great because it helps those working from interrupting your games.
The concept is intriguing to say the least. When you come, there is a $5 “library fee” per person. It decreases by $1 for each food or drink item you buy. When you are ready to order you raise up the appropriate (blue) flag. If you need any help with games, you raise the red flag. When you are finished playing, eating, and drinking then you raise the yellow flag for your check.
There are countless games from a wide range of genres that works for everyone including solo, two-player, family-friendly, and large group games. Even though alcohol is served, families with even young children should feel comfortable here.
We went with friends familiar with the place, but it was our first time and I am excited to go back again soon.
Such an awesome cafe. Family friendly with games for kids of all ages, but also is open late for more adult gaming experiences. They have a bar on one side and gaming room on the other. Servers come when requested using a pretty neat system. Food was on the pricey side but delicious.
I went to Pieces for their board game meeting on Wednesday. We stayed pretty late and staff checking on us very frequently for drink re-fills and to bring food. They offer free water and food and drink menu with serving staff as desired. The atmosphere was decorated with class board games. They do have some board games available to play; however for meet ups usually people bring their own to play.
Drinks and board/card games? This place is awesome!!! Themed drinks and dishes are a really cool little feature, loved the Boba Feta Sandwich and the Nuka Cola cocktail is phenomenal. There's a great variety of games to choose from at a low flat rate that can be diminished by each food/drink item you order. Staff here is incredibly helpful and friendly, would highly recommend trying Pieces at least once.
Amazing place. There are tons and tons of board games. They have an item on the table that you flip up if you need something. Very fun for all ages. Had a cleaning station as well.
Food was good. Had a breakfast burrito with sausage mushrooms potatoes and eggs. Cinnamon rolls are great. Kids love selection of games! Great for the whole family. They also have trivia nights with drink specials. Right next to the Darkness in the heart of Soulard. Great spot to hit before Cards game or after a stroll through the market. Give it a shot, you'll be back.
Absolutely adore this place. There are so many games to choose from. If they don't have a game you want to play l, they take suggestions! My group found a new game to play, and we are obsessed!
A very innovative concept and an absolute thrill if you're a big group, a couple, or even alone (yes they have one game that lets you play all alone) wanting to do something out of the box, quite literally!
We would recommend the play area, but not the food. We called for the Midwest Poke Bowl and were so sick after. Don't know what's in the dish, but I threw up right after I got home and my husband had a bad stomach ache leading to diarrhea. In all fairness, it's just one dish we tried, but given how sick we were we'd much rather have fun minus the food.
Summing up, Pieces is a wonderful place to be when you want to stay indoors, have a crazy time, learn more about board games, and find new friends (perhaps). They have over a 1000 games stocked and the staff is very friendly and will attend to you if you happen to find yourself stuck. We love their selection and would definitely go back to play more games!
