Reviews of Socialdice - Board Game Cafe

E. P.

We went here after work on a Wednesday. We were greeted with really friendly staff who explained the set up and offered us game recommendations. We played games we never had before, had some drinks and nachos, and generally had a lovely time. I would recommend this place.

Something New ▶️ Something really 🆒 ! On Swansea's Entertainment destinations map! Huge choice of really tricky and good fun games in offer together with some food (didn't tried this time but menu looks encouragingly) and lokal beers (with some really less known crafts on as. well 😍😍). Definitely worth to visit if you got enough of typical 'WINE Street' partying 😉 🎲🎲🎲

Coffee was best I've ever had and a really good beef dog. Took a while but service was 11/10. They were nice and laughed with us. Deducted cost for one of our friends that left early. Loved it and wish I lived closer to go more often.

We came here on Sunday when the weather was bad. We had such a great time, the staff were extremely friendly and recommended some fun games that we had never played before. There was so much choice, including the classics and games which I had never even heard of The food was great and the coffee was lovely, it was a lovely atmosphere and I would definitely come here again!

I went with my partner, had an amazing day, was seen to and seated very quickly by lovely staff. The food was surprisingly good and their drinks were very tasty; I'm quite fussy but the menu is easy to understand and they're very accommodating. It had a good energy about it, everyone was enjoying themselves and no one was too loud. The game selection is great, "too many to choose from." My partner told me. It's definitely going to be a regular spot for us now.

A really nice addition to Swansea. Probably the biggest range of games I've seen in a hot minute at a cafe. Food was great, service was promt and friendly and the drinks were great! Went for my birthday, and after my experience, I'm glad I didn't go somewhere else!

I Can't rate Social Dice more highly! (But if I could I'd definitely give a 6/5 stars 😂) By far the best place to go on a night out! or chill day with friends! all of their events are amazing and their normal day to day is everything you could ask for! Ryan, Chris and all the staff are amazing! And the food / drink is 🤌🤌👌👌 (especially recommend the homemade strawberry lemonade and their incredible hot chocolates).

C. M.

Really good selection of games to play, had a lot of fun trying new games we'd not heard of before. Some of the games that needed a notepad or paper didn't have it in the box, so I'd suggest the cafe maybe have a whiteboard by each table for scoring? They were a bit slow bringing out our drinks, but all very friendly and welcoming.

Visited with our children whilst on holiday to the area , and really enjoyed it. We have been to quite a few board game cafes before as we are really into tabletop games and this was probably the best we have been to. Really good selection of games , really clean , and the staff were super friendly and helpful . Really loved the themed mock tails aswell our 7 year old has a ‘health potion’ and it came in a proper potion bottle was really cool and would definitely visit again !

What an experience! Absolutely loved this place! Just what Swansea and Wind Street has needed for so long... sod the clubs and pubs up and down Wind Street, if you want to enjoy each others company, have a laugh, be able to bear each other and make some genuine memories, well SocialDice is the place to be! A relaxed atmosphere, with knowledgeable staff and something that little different for a day or night out! Enjoyed myself so much, that I came away without taking a single photo or touching my phone since entering through their doors! Can't wait to go again, and bringing even more of my friends with me. Thanks for the best evening in a VERY long time!

An interesting concept. Board gamers will love it. Nice that there are guided workshops for those new to some of the most popular games such as Dungeons and Dragons, a great idea for singletons who would like to try something new. Full range of drinks from posh coffees to alcohol served. Unlike other towns where this concept has been brought to communities by non-profits, this gaming cafe is fully commercial, and that is reflected in the pricing. It's not cheap. Ring ahead if you want to come in a wheelchair. It's located on the famous Swansea Wind Street, which is not my favourite location at night, so I'd personally use it in the afternoon or early evening with the intention of being long gone by the time the drunken clubbers spill out into the street.

A. J.

Great little spot! Fab cocktails, hot drinks and bespoke soft drinks. Fun selection of games and cosy gaming space with big custom tables. Would love to see even more games but would highly recommend. ☺️☺️

This place is EPIC - a jewel in Swansea. Their range of games is amazing, so many different types and styles, there will be something for everyone. We were a group of 6 and found plenty of different games to keep us occupied. Later in the evening we reduced down to 3 and still found games to keep us entertained.

We had a wonderful time with our daughter and will certainly be visiting again. It was great to have the games that we played in the 80's which we were able to share with our daughter. Whilst there we enjoyed the nachos and hot dogs, both seved promptly with plenty to go around. Thank you for advising us Ryan on what games would be suitable to us as a group. We'll definatley see you again soon.

L. S.

Food is basic but just what you need during a hard gaming session - I can fully vouch for the vegan hot dog and the loaded nachos 👌 Nice atmosphere of smiley people enjoying board games. Finally got to play Carcassonne. Staff are super friendly and will help explain how to play any game they stock in impressive detail! Top job.

My husband and I have given this place a few tries but we always leave a bit disappointed. My biggest complaint about this place is how hot and stale it is. It makes the gaming experience, no matter how fun, exhausting and uncomfortable. I observed other guests fanning themselves to try and cool down. During our latest visit, there was a large rowdy group that was out of control and playing their own music from one of their phones (sensory overload due to the cafe having having music playing as well). At no point did the staff approach the group asking them to settle down or leave. It spoiled our visit. We're unlikely to visit again despite enjoying the concept of a board game cafe.

Fabulous way to spend a few hours with friends. Chris picked out the perfect game for us and explained it really well so we could get stuck in straight away. Food was delicious! Looking forward to going back :)

Great eve at Socialdice. A fab atmosphere for comedy night with lush food and drinks. A great place to go for a different time out. Friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend

R. P.

Socialdice has a great selection of games, including 2 player games which is perfect for date night. The vegan food was impressive and the prices were fantastic for a day of fun

R. K.

Great food and drinks! We went to one of their event nights and had so much fun, already planning another trip back. Staff were very welcoming!

a. j.

Lovely time at my first board game cafe, Never really knew what to expect but very welcoming, friendly and inclusive environment, (Ryan in particular ) learnt so much and will Definitely recommend and use again And. Regularly in the future watch this space ☺️

R. F.

Socialdice is a fantastic place! Such great fun, huge selection of board games, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Just fantastic!

C. B.

This was our first visit to a board game cafe and we had such a good laugh playing some games for adults, although there were plenty of options to suit families or more seasoned gamers. Chris took the time to explain how each game should be played and helped us to pick out one that would suit our party. The food, drinks and service were outstanding. Thanks! Will be going again.

Happy few hours spent in Socialdice today (Saturday afternoon)! Concept is simple, book a table, pick from a wide selection of games, drinks and good choice of snacks, and enjoy. Team are great, really friendly and helpful, so pleased this is a success. Great atmosphere and mix of people engrossed in games😃

Visited at the weekend and had such a lovely time. We were celebrating a family birthday & anniversary & staff were welcoming including, to the 2 children in our group and we all felt relaxed and enjoyed the range of games. Although the menu wasn’t huge what they did have was fantastic and good range of drinks. Although I live in London I have already recommended to friends in the area & will be back on my next visit,

A. A.

An excellent cafe! Coffee was lovely and the cake was delicious so how can you make it better? Add board games!! The staff were really nice and friendly and the atmosphere was really chilled. I'll definitely be going back soon

J. C.

What a find! Lucky enough to find a table for a family of four and so glad we did. Felt totally welcome from the get go, and the enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff are absolute superstars. Games for everyone, great variety of food and drinks - a great way to spend a few hours. Will definitely be back!

Friendly staff, (keep it up). BBQ pork wedges hit the spot. Great cup of coffee. Excellent selection of games which the staff are willing to help with. Will definitely be going again.

Made a booking for early on a Saturday, there was a slight delay to open but we were contacted before and made aware of this delay. All the staff were welcoming and friendly, and had some excellent recommendations for games as well! An excellent choice of games and some delicious food and drink as well, including dairy free options as well.

A very unique experience. So friendly. I can't wait to perform in the murder mystery on Friday xx hope I don't key u all down xx

Amazing staff, so many games, we had so much fun and they have a massive choice of drinks and food

S. D.

Social Dice has been a great hang out place with my friends everytime I come to visit them. The owners and staff are incredibly helpful and passionate about making it a wonderful experience for everyone who comes in. Though the main attraction is the board games, there is a fair variety of of food and drink available with them being chosen for ease in eating while stil playing.

C. E.

I went on Sunday evening with my boyfriend and we had such a great time. Everyone was so friendly, the food was lovely and the games were so much fun. I will be returning with my housemates next time. Also the cocktails were stunning

M. D.

Very friendly staff had a lovely chat about board games in general. When I'm in Swansea will absolutely visit again!
