I placed a post on Nextdoor a few months ago requesting recommendations for a place to celebrate my daughter's 15th birthday. I received lots of recommendations, but ended up finding a place during a Google search. That place was Thirsty Dice in Philadelphia, PA. We celebrated her birthday this past weekend at Thirsty Dice and it was AMAZING! It's super cool! This spot offers food and oodles of games for patrons to play. We played Cards Against Humanity and very much enjoyed the Margarita Pizza, Whiskey BBQ Wings, and Hot Nashville Sandwich! Service was friendly, informative, and attentive! If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and chill place for your friends and/or family to relax and have fun, THIS IS IT! Make reservations to guarantee a table for your group.

What a great idea. The place was nice but the food selection was lacking and the pizza and tacos were very bland. The host was friendly and welcoming. The waiter barely showed up and I had to get the host to get our check. The games were fantastic and we had a blast playing them. The games range from typical to rare. I would try again for a day event not lunch or dinner.

The food, atmosphere and game selection was great. However the service was not the best. Myself and group understood that service was slower and know most restaurants have staff shortages so did not annoy the wait staff. However we were denied more mimosas on the endless mimosas due to our time being up without warning from the staff. Should be more on top of tables and times since you’re there to play board games, not consistently checking your phone for time. Priding them on wanting people to be more unplugged but they need to work on better staff to customer communications.

The service was extremely slow. We planned to order dessert and more drinks, but were told our time was almost up (2 hours) before we even got a chance to. Our waitress hardly ever came around to check on us and when she did she was very rushed and disinterested. You have to pay a 5 dollar game fee per person AND they automatically add 18% gratuity… for such horrible service and not a lot of time to pay games it is definitely not worth the price. My recommendation is to order food from your favorite restaurant and have a board game night at home, much cheaper and you can take all the time you want!

The games are fun. And the food was tasty, however, the service was very slow and our food was cold by the time it was brought out. The staff was friendly though. I would return and just plan ahead for a slightly slower service time.

Very fun concept. The food is definitely not up to pair with the price, but overall the restaurant has a nice vibe. So many games to choose from and the waiters do a good job of recommending some new games to you. Only issue with this place it the over priced and not so tasty food. Would probably be better to just go for drinks and the games.
