Description
Saturdays are Demo Days! We’ll have a game set up at the end of our bar and we’ll take you through a quick demo to get a feel for how to play. All demo day games are available for sale and available in our library, so if you like the demo, you can buy a copy for yourself or purchase a game pass to play our library copy.
20% of the profits from the sales of our food, drinks and merch are donated back to our partner rescues, so buying a game from us levels up your good vibes.
