Spilcaféen Aarhus

You could spend hours in here. Great selection and cozy surroundings. They have happy hour for coffee and tea before 4pm. So cheap!

🎲♟️ Spilcaféen Aarhus – where the fun is big, but the tables are small ♟️🎲 Oh my… I stopped by Spilcaféen in Vestergade, and yes – it IS fun. At least I got a lot of pieces to fall into place that evening. The selection of games is impressive – it’s like stepping into a candy store for board game nerds. Everything is there: from “let’s ruin our friendship in UNO” to “let’s save our marriage in Partners.” But popularity comes at a price. And the price is space. You sit a bit close together, so it sometimes feels like playing Stratego against the next table. If you pull out a large game, finding space for the pieces is almost archaeology. The prices? Well, they’re right on the high end. You pay a little for the very idea that you’re sitting in Aarhus’ gaming mecca – not just for the drinks. And then there’s the staff. Here I had an experience that could almost have been taken out of a role-playing game: When I said “good day”, I got a look back that could have killed me on the spot. I was sincerely convinced that the person was a second away from pressing the panic alarm, just because I smiled too friendly. And honestly, I care more about customer service than whether you can recite the rules of Twilight Imperium backwards. A smile and a little helpfulness are what you remember – not a death stare over the counter. All in all, Spilcaféen is a great place: huge selection, lots of coziness – but also a little too expensive, a little too cramped and with looks that can knock you over faster than a game of Matador. Rating: 3 out of 5 pieces that always fall to the floor. Thanks for the game, Spilcaféen Aarhus. I am both entertained, a little bit squeezed – and still impressed by how much you can feel suspicious just by saying “hello.”

Good and fun board game café! Since there are many international customers, it would be great to have more games available in English. Some of the games are also quite worn out and could use replacing.

Good coffee, they use a delicious and strong espresso type. The atmosphere is good and if you buy coffee before 4pm it only costs 25 DKK no matter which one!

Very cozy atmosphere. There are good craft beer on here and popcorn.

Many games to choose from and have a good time. Good food, good drinks. Alcohal, coffee, chai latte, perfect.

A great place! Shout out to my sister who always has her birthday here, good times

A truly brilliant café. We had many hours of fun with games and good coffee with cheap refills.
