One of my favourite bars in Brighton! I love coming here with friends and playing board games or on the consoles. The food is great and I usually have chips and they also have an amazing selection of drinks (including mocktails). If you want a fun drink I recommend the G&T virus which comes with two syringes you inject into the drink or assassins mead which comes with golden coin chocolate. Awkward is a great game to play with friends to get to know them better and it's my go to!

Such a cute place to spend a winter weekday evening in Brighton. Very cosy with a good selection of games and formats. Seems very inclusive. There could be slightly better service and attention to customers as sometimes you need pens, paper, or other assistance. I also think it would be good if there were more small quick games for a couple of players, and maybe some playing cards too. Otherwise great and I'll be back for sure.

Made a visit here recently and had a really wonderful time. We were having a bit of a struggle deciding upon a game and almost went for trusty scrabble. However a kind member of staff asked us what sort of game we were looking for and we explained that we were two tired souls looking for a really easy game that was easy to pick up. The staff member picked out the perfect game for us (Geistes Blitz) and we had a fantastic hour or so. There was a good drinks selection, including low alcohol and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend this lovely bar and hope to visit again next time I visit Brighton. I will also be buying a trickier version of Geistes Blitz as we loved it so much!

we came here whilst i was on a short holiday for some dinner & drinks, and it was nothing short of perfect! they had a large selection of games which you’re welcome to take opposite outside (as long as you keep an eye on game pieces!) and we played some new / favourite ones. the drinks were gorgeous, very punchy and flavoursome! the food was utterly yummy, cooked to perfection and we savoured every last bite. will definitely be coming back here & sitting inside next time to play the consoles! ✨

Visited as a group during a recent trip to Brighton. Loading Bar kept us all entertained for a couple hours over lunch. Fun place with a great theme, lots of gaming references everywhere! We enjoyed some of the food and drinks on offer during our visit. Some of the themed mocktails, and food from the brunch menu. One annoyance was the amount of board games with missing pieces. We had to swap to different games a few times because some of the core components were missing; they do have multiples of some of the popular titles, so you can make a full game up!
