Due to limited space, we do not offer a waiting list. You can bring your own game or use some House Rules has available. They have a nice selection of nearly 200 games to choose from, but if you and your group have a favorite, feel free to bring the game. Board games have been around a long time and there are plenty of stores where you can get them but some of the more popular ones are hard to find simply because the world is in a pandemic and not just the United States. The addition will add more than 1,100 square feet by repurposing an adjacent, long-vacant storefront, bringing the bar’s footprint to 3,616 square feet once completed. The expansion also will grow the bar’s capacity from 98 to 149 people, which will help accommodate the weekend rush, Beaucher said.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The taps are officially open at Beer City USA’s first board game lounge. We are family friendly all the time. We have high chairs and games for the young ones. Per Michigan Law, minors seated at the bar rail must be accompanied by an adult. Minors are allowed at tables without an adult. French fries are on the new taproom menu at Founders Brewing Co., 235 Cesar E. Chavez Ave SW, in Grand Rapids.

Here you’re able to order drinks from the bar, food from somewhere nearby, and select a game to play from the largest board game collection around. It can get pretty busy so I’d recommend a reservation. They have almost any game you could think of as well as plenty of pencils and paper to use while playing. Paired with an extensive cooler of everything from beer to soda and chocolate milk, you’re able to bring the whole family together for a new game night away from home.
Can I bring my own food?
“Being downtown we celebrate equality among everyone, so we proudly hang the Pride flag, trans flag, have the rainbow (lights) going behind the bar. Just with everything that’s been going on in the past couple years, this is a safe place for everybody,” Beaucher said. The city has grown its housing stock and limited rent cost increase to just 1 percent.
The bar focuses on craft beverages primarily made in Michigan, with beer, wine, cider and sometimes mead flowing from its 20 taps. Beaucher said half of the drinks in the cooler are non-alcoholic and include pop, juice and CBD seltzer water. While COVID-19 has created challenges, it has also been a boon for board games.
Reservations can be made up to a month in advance for up to 6 people and for a maximum of 3 hours. For groups larger than 6, or longer than 3 hours, please email for details. We're excited to be your friendly local game store carrying hundreds of board games, collectible card games, RPGs, and accessories. “I’ve been a board gamer for 25 years and I think Grand Rapids needs it. There are plenty of game stores in the area but there hasn’t been a board game lounge yet.
Because of COVID-19 restrictions, House Rules opened first as a board game retailer in mid-December. The business added bar service last month after receiving its liquor license, but has had to limit reservations to four tables of up to six people because pandemic capacity limits. GRAND RAPIDS — House Rules Board Game Lounge plans to add a kitchen and expand its space to accommodate busy weekends at the bar, which features a collection of board games for customers as well as weekly trivia nights. Co-owner and “goblin king” Brian Beaucher opened the board game lounge around three years ago, turning what had been the Craft Beer Cellar into a new concept.
“We’re super flexible at trying to give people a long time to hang out and play a good long game,” he said. To keep House Rules running and the Lounge Library free, each customer at a table must spend at least $10 in the form of food, drinks or games. City leaders hope these changes will create more opportunities for smaller, infill development projects. You can bring it in with you as well as get food delivered here.

Grilled or blackened chicken can be added to salads for $5, shrimp for $8 or salmon for $12. Several salad options include the Cucumber Feta Salad (feta, cucumber, grape tomato, red onion, Kalamata olives, with lemon dressing) for $15. Founders recommends pairing the honey glazed salmon with Nitro Oatmeal Stout or Avery White Rascal. “Big Plate” entrees include the Honey Glazed Salmon (Faroe Island Salmon seared in a honey glaze with crisp vegetables and scallions) for $28.
House Rules offers a board game library for customers to use, along with games customers can purchase to play and take home. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A bar in Grand Rapids offering a spot for people to hang out and play board games is expanding. With the pandemic, many people went old school and played more board games at home with family to have something to do when we couldn't go anywhere. They have a plethora of table and card games to play for anywhere from 2 to 8 players. They have a very large selection of drinks as well, not as many food options but you can bring in outside food. I had the root beer which was absolutely delicious and smooth.
The new seating area will have space for around 50 more people, and will double as a semi-private room when groups want to host events at the board game lounge. The business gives board game lovers a space to play games they brought, borrowed or bought at House Rules, all while enjoying a snack or drink from the in-house bar or coolers. Walk-ins are always welcome, but reservations do take priority for tables.
