I had the tomato basil soup, a side salad with vinaigrette and two teas, a basic English breakfast tea with milk and a London Fog. Everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and the whole vibe of the place was great. This is a really fun place to play games with friends and to try new games as well. Super fun. ✌️ ♥️

I come here and rent a room for small group work events and sometimes just casually with friends. Employees have always been friendly and helpful. The women's bathroom has always been clean. Their nonalcoholic drink selection (cafe/sodas) is very good. Their game board/table top accessories selection is also very good. They always have some fun new dice at the front counter where you can rent boardgames. If you book one of their rooms the board game rentals are free which is a nice touch.

Lovely spot that I enjoy playing board games with friends at. The food is a bit pricey but outside of that it’s great! Keep in mind that if you don’t bring your own games someone in your group will have to pay per game or for the day. I’m used to board game spots letting us rent games for free but it’s not a huge deal since they’re in the Austin area.

Some have questioned the lgbtq friendliness of the emerald tavern because of a lack of rainbow decor. I would say, look at the staff, they're almost ALL lgbtq. It's a very safe place. Kid friendliness: No one will give you a second look for having children here to play games. No highchairs, changing tables or boosters though Parking: Mind the yellow flood zone markings of rain is in the forecast. The parking lot WILL food Kid-friendliness: We've brought our child here many times and we often see children ages 6-12 playing games here
