Pow Wow

Cafe

😠 The owner is rude and doesn't allow to explore any games, it is cold, and not client friendly at all. Service is extremely poor if you want to get lots of stress come here, Bruno will assist you in his empty place! People often mention games, board, jogos, play, owner, friends, para, Great, game, rules,

  • 5/5 Jorge B. 2 years ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Very nice place with a lot of options to enjoy a game night with friends. The owner of the place was very helpful while explaining the games and suggesting the next ones. The food was good but In my opinion it could have more options. I will definitively go back in another day

    I'm never disappointed when I go there! Plenty of great games with some new games showing up once in a while! Don't come here if you're looking for monopoly, but give it a try and learn some new games, Bruno will teach you the rules. The menu is not very extensive but with only one person running the house you can't expect much more, the prices make up for the fact you don't pay for the games.

    Great place for board gaming with friends. Friendly, helpful and board game savvy staff (tell them how many you are, how long you have to play and, optionally, any preferences, and they'll recommend a board game accordingly). Huge selection of board games. Light food, snacks and drinks available.

    Great place with great service. Friendly and dedicated owner showcasing 200+ games; he knows them all and takes time to explain them to you (he does this very clearly as well). Great games for 2 persons as well. Very good hub to spend a rainy afternoon.

    Great concept! Snack bar that is a board game playground also. Dozens of games are available for everyone and if we don't know what to play the owners are always available to give us a suggestion.

  • 1/5 Mariana P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We are a group of friends who love board games, and who came from far away. There were free tables and we even said that we didn't mind being cramped. Even so, they said it was better not to and that we should have come earlier. It was not a good experience (Original) Somos um grupo de amigos que adora jogos de tabuleiro, e que veio de longe. Havia mesas livres e até dissemos que não nos importavamos de ficar apertados. Mesmo assim, disseram que era melhor não e que devíamos ter vindo mais cedo. Não foi uma boa experiência

  • 5/5 Luís S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the best I have ever seen! I do not know any of the same abroad but when we consume something the coffee owner chooses a game of the immense board games that has and insinuates the number of people, explains the rules of the game and the fun installs itself! I'm sorry I did not have a picture because I did not even remember it while I was there. (Original) Um dos melhores que já vi! Nao conheço nenhum igual no estrangeiro no entanto quando consumimos algo o dono do café escolhe um jogo dos imensos jogos de tabuleiro que tem e cinsuante o numero de pessoas, explica as regras do jogo e a diversão instala-se ! Lamento não ter foto pois nem me lembrei dele enquanto lá estive.

    My wife and I came here multiple times during our stay in Lisboa to play, drink, and eat. She’s very into board games and what a treat this was for us to find this place. Plenty of fun games, reasonably priced drinks and food, and a laid back family-friendly atmosphere. The owners was clearly into the hobby, and it showed. Would highly recommend the visit!

  • 5/5 Alexa 1 year ago on Google • 63 reviews
    The owner is friendly and knows the rules of pretty much all the games in the store, and there are a LOT of board games, minimum consumption is 3,5€ per person and you can stay there a lot of hours so it's a pretty nice place to hangout with a group of friends. If you're cold there are also blankets you can use! Very comfortable and cozy place for boardgames.

  • 5/5 Mª Lourdes P. 4 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Very nice place, with lots of board games. Bruno is a very nice guy, always available to teach you how to play them!

  • 5/5 Sérgio P. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    This bar stands out for its charismatic owner with his personal selection of board games, turning a simple meal into moments of pure fun and socializing.

  • 4/5 Bruno B. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice chill place to hang with friends and play board games!

  • 1/5 Bruno G. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Terribly and arrogant at the service level sits customers where absurd prices and barely look at the board games. (Original) Péssimo e arrogante a nível de atendimento senta os clientes onde quer precos absurdos e mal se pode olhar para os jogos de tabuleiro.

  • 5/5 Ricardo H. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Parking a little sparse rm Sporting game days but worth it for the diversity and the friendliness with which we are greeted. No doubt the best I know personally (Original) Estacionamento um pouco escasso rm dias de jogo do Sporting mas vale a pena pela diversidade e pela simpatia com que somos recebidos. Sem dúvida dos melhores que eu conheço pessoalmente

  • 3/5 Raphael De L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place still has a lot to evolve. A few tables, not very cozy lighting and the menu comes down to nuggets, chips, nachos and other simple market appetizers ... The owner chose the game for us and explained the rules. We went once to try it, but were not tempted to go back, it seems that the place has a very select audience. No money to play and no Monopoly or Risk 🤷🏻♂️ (Original) O local ainda tem muito a evoluir. Poucas mesas, iluminação nada aconchegante e a ementa se resume a nuggets, batatas chips, nachos e outros aperitivos simples de mercado... O dono escolheu o jogo para nós e nos explicou as regras. Fomos uma vez para experimentar, mas não nos sentimos tentados a voltar, parece que o local tem um público muito seleto. Nao se paga para jogar e não tem Monopoly nem Risk 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • 3/5 duartes07 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Place with moderate selection of games, that can not be moved without authorization from the owner who will fetch and arrange each box. Simple decoration. Helpful and friendly staff. Sad and little varied food. Access to the venue a bit confusing. (Original) Local com seleção moderada de jogos, que não se podem mexer sem autorização do dono que vai buscar e arruma cada caixa. Decoração simples. Pessoal prestável e simpático. Comida triste e pouco variada. Acesso ao local um pouco confuso.

  • 5/5 Nelson Rodrigues da C. 4 years ago on Google
    If you enjoy Board games then this is the spot for you. The owner explains the games in a quick and easy way. English is not a problem. Visit the place often, unfortunately not as much as I would like to.

  • 5/5 André S. 5 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed it a lot! Many many games and overall a fun place to visit!

  • 5/5 Jenna R. 5 years ago on Google
    Awesome for groups of friends that love to have a drink and play board games. 😊😊😊

  • 1/5 Pedro V. 5 years ago on Google
    The person serving us was rude the minute we walked in. The food/drinks were overpriced compared to the quality. The "milkshake" we ordered had no milk whatsoever, despite it not being clear anywhere on the menu. When that was pointed out to the waiter he reacted poorly and just pointed out he was a vegan like we were supposed to know that.

  • 5/5 Marco R. 5 years ago on Google
    Good place to have a drink while you play board games with friends :) does have a nice ambience though

  • 3/5 Ioda 5 years ago on Google
    Cozy place but the prices are way too high, low food variety and its missing a couple of popular games to play with friends

  • 5/5 Bárbara F. 7 years ago on Google
    Cool place with a great selection of board games to play with friends. Food and drinks available. It's not easy to find just by looking in Google maps, go to the back of the building (by foot).

    (Translated by Google) Pow wow is cool for the darling ones. (Original) Pow wow é fixe para os amuos das queridas.

    (Translated by Google) Fantastic place to be chatting with friends while having fun with Mr. Bruno's suggestions on what we are going to play next! (Original) Local fantástico para se estar à conversa com amigos enquanto nos divertimos com as sugestões do Sr. Bruno sobre o que vamos jogar a seguir!

  • 5/5 Carlos R. 4 years ago on Google
    The only problem with this place is that it has few tables so if you don't get in early you risk to don't enter.

  • 5/5 Pedro T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fun place with lots of board games ... (Original) Local divertido, com muitos jogos de tabuleiro...

    A perfect place for playing board games in Lisbon. The owner mostly gives you some games that he thinks you will like and he has a lot of them!

  • 5/5 Vitor Miguel Miranda F. 4 years ago on Google
    Surprisingly interesting and fun board games.

  • 4/5 Raquel A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a different place that unites those who like to play. It has an admirable variety of games and the owner knows the rules of all of them, is also considerate and intelligent. The only drawback is the variety of eating options (but neither is the primary purpose of the visit) (Original) É um local diferente, que une aqueles que gostam de jogar. Tem uma variedade de jogos admirável e o proprietário conhece as regras de todos eles, é também atencioso e inteligente. O único senão é a variedade de opções de consumo ( mas também não é o objetivo primário da visita )

  • 3/5 Alexandra S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting place, cafe with different concept with possibility of board games (pleasant surprise for those who like), as coffee ... little variety. (Original) Sítio interessante, café com conceito diferente com possibilidade de jogos de tabuleiro (surpresa agradável para quem gosta), como café...pouca variedade.

    We visited Pow Wow on a brief trip through Lisbon & I had a late night urge to play some board games. The owner greeted us so warmly & recommended a few games for us. Great explanation of the rules. Really helpful & friendly. Great atmosphere for a gaming session even if you're new to games!
