Snakes and Lattes owners launch Snakes and Lagers, a board-gaming bar on College
Snakes and Lattes, the Annex board-game café, is opening a new spin-off that adds the one lubricating ingredient that could turn an ordinary game of Settlers into a truly epic event: booze. The aptly named Snakes and Lagers opens tomorrow, January 7, February 1 in the old Smokeless Joe’s space on College Street between Markham and Palmerston, one block south of the original. Like the family-friendly café, the new outpost will charge $5 cover for all-day play; however, it will cater exclusively to a 19-plus crowd with over a dozen taps pouring beers from local breweries like Black Oaks and Sawdust City. Savvy players can line their stomachs with falafel pitas, spiced popcorn and other bar snacks.

Wow, is those pictures doctored? Because when I went this afternoon there were about 3 games on each shelf – and NO strategy games to be found. I reckon there are 100 games max, if even that.
Decent selection of beer. Food was overpriced and mediocre. Servers had serious attitude for no apparent reason – it wasn’t even busy! $6 for a “mini mac”? I can get a real Big Mac for that price.
This is an anti recommendation. This place is not worth visiting.
