FAQs

What do you offer?

Hexagon Alley has a board game library of over 850+ games, tasty snacks, and a full bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic sections.

Our “Game Gurus” and team are familiar with a vast majority of the library and are always available to suggest a game, explain rules, help with set-up, and assist you throughout your game.

Do you cater to vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and other dietary concerns?

ABSOLUTELY! Our shareables and paninis are all designed to cater to all dietary preferences. Because our guests come to Hexagon Alley for the boardgames, one of our main priorities is to offer a menu that is diverse enough to please a crowd.

Can I bring outside food and drink?

Great question! We do not allow outside food at Hexagon Alley simply because we are very cautious about food getting on the games.

We also do not permit outside drinks simply because we allow guests under the age of 21 to enter and play. As a result, we need to provide and serve all beverages to ensure there are no instances of underage drinking.

What is a game play fee?

There is a game play fee per person ($8 on Fridays after 6pm and all day on Saturdays, $6 all other times) to access our 300+ game library. The fee helps cover the cost of games, including replacing lost pieces and purchasing new games.

The game play fee grants you access to play as many games as you want and you’re also welcome to stay as long as you want.
If you’d like to just sit at our bar with a beer, cocktail, mocktail, or latte then there’s no charge.

Game play fees for children under 12 years of age are half price, with the purchase of at least one adult entry.

Do you have parking?

We are located Downtown Columbia, which brings its parking garages. Luckily, there are two parking garages within walking distance. One at 8th and Cherry Street, and the other at 10th and Cherry Street.

Do I need to make a reservation?

You certainly can make a reservation, or even request a specific table, but isn't necessary for most groups. We can accomodate groups of just about any size, but we do request parties over 8 make a reseveration 24-48 hours in advance, as to ensure an appropriate number of staff on hand to make your experience awesome.

Do you have wifi?

We are proud to be living in the 21st century and fully embrace it. Ask a team member for the password and we can connect you.

Do you have to be 21 to enter?

Not at all, in fact we pride ourselves in being a place for family and anyone in our community. We only ID guests who wish to order an alcoholic beverage. We encourage families and friends of all ages to visit us. High chairs and a kids game library are available.

What if my friends are busy?

Fear not lone wolf, we’ve got a variety of single-player games and would love to teach you how to play them! Or feel free to come in and sit at our bar and hang out. We have regular events, from casual meetups to card tournaments to help learn new games and meet new people!

Do you sell gift cards?

or purchase an e-gift card here!

Can I bring in my own game?

Absolutely! Feel free to bring your own game and play in our space. Have a game in mind that we don’t have in our library?

Is there an accessible entrance?

Our primary entrance is on Cherry street, but requres 7 steps. There is an accessible entrance however on 9th street at the "City Center" entrance with an elevator. Look for that entrance between the Mud Room and Top Ten Wines!
