    Guild appears to be permanently closed. After I booked for 10 people for my son’s birthday and received multiple confirmations, we arrived to a closed restaurant. There were other people waiting outside who had also booked. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Please remove them from your booking website!!

    Venue had been closed down for at least few weeks, yet there was no signage at the restaurant and bookings continued to be taken.

    Like other reviewers said, I had a lunchtime booking and arrived with 8 people and the restaurant was closed. I'm sure it's a nice place but also sure their opening hours are inaccurate. If you get caught out like I did, Solita is just upstairs and is open.

    They're shut and haven't told anyone. You can book online only to show up to a shut down restaurant.

    A fantastic welcoming place with a large variety of food and drinks on the menu. Numerous card and board games are available to play. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Many Canberra establishments could well learn how to provide service by visiting The Guild. Will definitely be back as it is conveniently located near the light rail stop.

    The food was quite expensive for the quantity given. We did not play any games but still got charged per head for it, which was unreasonable.

    The food is exquisite! Mushroom risotto...belissimo! Nutella Calzone ..belissimo! Games always fun! The only suggestion I can make is some sound deadening in the ceiling for people who are sensitive to noise. Other than that, a brilliant location for dinner and fun!!

    The pizzas are yummy. Best Pizza dough I've ever had, light, airy and not oily at all. Service was polite and efficient, and the manager engaged with every table during the evening. Just a lovely experience.

    The wood fired pizzas were crispy and fresh - best pizza I’ve had in a while! The staff were friendly and helpful. The games selection was awesome - probably could have spent a week or so deciding which one to play. Just would have liked some background music but we made our own atmosphere once we got stuck into the food and games! You should definitely check this place out xx

    Guild has the best pizza. Made with fresh wholemeal sourdough, so delicious. The rocket, pear and walnut salad is a must too. Friendly staff and atmosphere, plus every board game you can imagine to keep you entertained. I can't wait to go back

    Greeting was lacklustre but service okay. Venue is tired and despite efforts to add soundproofing, still way too loud for us to play our game in comfort once it got busy. The food came quickly and was very tasty. Selection of games pretty good, not as comprehensive as other games cafes we have visited so maybe call ahead if you have a particular game in mind.

    Guild is my favourite restaurant in Canberra. The service is always friendly. The wood-fired pizzas are great. The drink selection, for kids and adults, is excellent. And what other restaurant can you choose from a library of boardgames - and get people to explain how they are played?

    Interesting vibe with board games if that interests you; lovely staff and great for a quick bit before going to the theatre. Lots of pizza options plus other choices but pizzas were average - good single serve size but tomato base nothing special and one of our party had an over-cooked base.

    The place is amazing! My partner and I felt very taken care of when the servers were adamant to save our table for us. Our custom pizzas were absolutely delicious, the Twister cocktails and Lavender Collins jug were very tasty and the sticky date pudding was heavenly. Service was great, the vibe of the place was great, and the games options were varied and quite interesting. My partner and I get anxiety very easily but we felt very good and had a great night. We will definitely be back and I would recommend this place to anyone, even if you don't want to play board games. It's got great pizzas, great drinks, great desserts and a lovely vibe.

    Welcomed at the front door with a beautiful smile. Staff extremely friendly with us as well as their colleagues. I have a strong belief that it is a great place to work. We ordered pizzas and they were absolutely delicious. We ordered large as we wanted to take some home for lunch the next day oops that didn’t happen
