    What an amazing place to hang out and play games. I wanted to introduce my friends to everdell and there it was ready to play. Super friendly and helpful staff too.

    Awesome little bar with many different types of board and card games. Stopped here on a Sunday with a few friends and had a great time. The alcohol was fairly priced and since it was on a Sunday we didn't have to pay for the board games. Would definitely return here.

    The Glass Die is an amazing establishment! A few weeks ago I bought a board game that was missing pieces, they let us bring it in, no questions asked, to get it replaced. The $5 table cost is so worth it and I am glad it is going to a company that is so transparent regarding their finances. Keep up the great work!

    One of my absolute favorite places in Reno. My friends and I would come every week to play Edge of the Empire together, and it was always amazing. The staff are so nice, the vibe is great, and overall it's such a wonderful place. I really miss it now that I've moved away from Reno, but I always go back whenever I visit the area!

    I do love it here, they have an amazing drink selection and a huge board game library. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. It's a little sad that it's half a retail store now, as it makes it harder to get a reservation during peak times, and now going here usually has to be a planned outing and reservations made well in advance to get a table, but we do manage to get tables fairly often. If you're hanging more spur-of-the-moment, then there's usually space on the outside patio, though most of the games are not allowed outside.

    Not the place to go if you're looking for a vast variety in alcohol, but they always have something good on tap. Bartenders are polite and helpful. The real gem is the vast array of board games you can play at the table. Make sure you reserve ahead of time though

    This is such a neat bar! You will need reservations to grab a table and they don't serve food here but I've seen plenty of groups bring in their own food. There are tons of games to choose from. My partner and I will likely make this a regular date night activity and are planning on learning more of the two player games that they have available. Love this place!

    The Glass Die is a Tabletop Gamers dream business. They serve craft beer on draft and in the can, and also have a decent selection of mead as well. They also have an amazing selection of Board Games and TTRPG books to buy. I consider myself a well read Tabletop Enthusiast and there were quite a few books I have never even heard of before. I spent a few hours in there combing through their selection and left with an assortment of books and board games. I will definitely be coming back whenever I am in town!

    I love this place. It's very cozy and has a wide selection of board games for purchase as well as hundreds to choose from their library to play. There is a $5 cover for the tables; however, this is pretty reasonable and standard price at board game bars / cafes [even if you partake of their booze].

    Awesome spot to sit and play board games with your friends. Super friendly dude at the bar and a crazy selection of games to choose from… this is my new favorite place to go and assert dominance over my friends while in town!

    Discovered this place in 2017 when friends were getting Tattoos above this place. Nice atmosphere and great selection of craft beer. Recently stopped in and grabbed a nice stout and sat outside. I was with friends and we were introduced to a card game called Take the Gold. The young man who put in a good sales pitch taught the game and we had fun with it. A few of us left with our own deck. Unfortunately was only able visit once on my short trip to Reno. Can’t wait to come back and stop in here again.

    The bar is great and the board games are plentiful! Most people who go and play there are very friendly and welcoming. But the bar suffers from bi-polar personalities. The owner himself is fantastic (really nice guy!), but one of the female bartenders can really ruin a great experience. A group of friends who've never been to The Glass Die and I had her this last Saturday. Wish I caught the name. To start, we grabbed our reserved table and starting drinks from her. I ask for a mead flight, which I've been served before, to share with my party. "In all my four years of being here, we've NEVER served that!" she exclaims. Really? I must've imagined my previous memories with my friends here. She could've told me she just wasn't serving those right now, but instead I get lied too. Cool. We sit and play games at our reserved table for a little while before getting hungry. We've got a good two hours left on the table, so we leave a game we want to play and our drinks there and scoot out for some food. We come back about thirty minutes later and everything is gone. The game, our drinks, everything. Clean table. Our reservation placard is there, but nothing else is. So we ask the bartender what's up. Apparently there was a rule where if we plan to leave for longer than twenty minutes, we must tell the bartender or she'll swipe everything from the table. She never told us this when we arrived to claim our table. So we ask for our unfinished drinks back. Nope! How about paying full price for some new ones? We'll pass, thanks. And the Sheriff of Nottingham? Oh, she didn't remember where she put it. We scanned the shelves again and couldn't find it. Wonderful. In my prior experience here, the tables usually get checked on by the bartender every once in a while to see how everyone is and to take extra drink orders. Once is usually enough. The only time our bartender came to "check" on us was to drop another placard some thirty minutes out from our table's reservation being up to remind us when our table's reservation was up. And then another verbal warning some fifteen minutes out. I was surprised when I wasn't counted down for my last 30 seconds with the table. Combined with the previous behavior, I've never felt more unwelcome. I like this bar, but not enough to come back after this. I strangely left feeling abused, and being abused is not fun.

    From D&D and Catan, to Cards Against Humanity and checkers, The Glass Die is a place for everyone. This place is a gem. They've really nailed the concept of "board game pub." 100s of games free to play, 12 taps of craft beer including local releases plus cans, ciders, etc. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable and yet full of laughing, lively people enjoying games of all types and a brew. It wasn't the type of place where you feel like you have to be a particular niche of gamer, or even a gamer at all. I have a rule I want to suggest: Please buy a beer or other beverage each visit. A great place like this is not free to run and making sure to offer them patronage is one of the best things one could do to make sure they are here for a long time to come.

    Great spot for gaming and drinks. You can reserve a table and play with your friends. They have hundreds of games to choose from! Lots of games for sale as well. Fun and friendly atmosphere.

    Been here a couple of times, love the atmosphere. The people are nice and accommodating, if you love board games, this is the place to be.

    Really had good time here. Lot of games available. We took food from outside and enjoyed drinks here.

  • 5/5 Tye 1 year ago on Google
    A great place for a fun evening. Friends from out of town just surprised us, and when asked what to do while they're here, The Glass Die was our first thought! The drink selection is great, the game selection is even better, and their service has always been outstanding and very friendly.

    Good place to schedule a game date with friends! Friendly staff! Amazing selection of games to play and purchase.

  • 5/5 Corbin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for first time gamers as well as seasoned DMs. Love rolling for beer on tap. Very knowledgeable on what will I give and intrigue. Don’t forget to ask about purchasing hard to find games.

  • 5/5 Megan P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome! We actually stumbled across it while looking for a tattoo parlor. Over 800+ board, card and dice games to play while enjoying an adult beverage with your friends. They also have a wide selection of games for sell. Planning to bring my son here next year for his 21st birthday!

  • 5/5 Sierra M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really fun bar with tons of board and card games to choose from. There are some games I had never heard of and the bartender was nice enough to explain one of the games for us. Games are organized by how many players (which is helpful). You do need to reserve a table if you are trying to go after 6pm. They have a nice craft beer selection as well. Our new favorite hang out!
