Zulu's Board Game Cafe

After years of going to Mox while visiting Bellevue, my friends finally decided to drive us up to Zulu's since it's open a little later (Mox closes at 10PM, Zulu's closes at 11PM on some weekdays).

After years of going to Mox while visiting Bellevue, my friends finally decided to drive us up to Zulu's since it's open a little later (Mox closes at 10PM, Zulu's closes at 11PM on some weekdays). What an awesome set-up! From the start, it really feels like you're walking into a medieval tavern. You enter a board game shop set-up with a welcoming bar and the smell of fried food. Tables are open seating and you can order on a QR code for speedy delivery. They have an "open play" board game selection at the back with some classics rated by complexity. We brought our own board game, found a spot within 10 minutes while it was packed, and got drinks pretty quickly. They were even nice enough to give us a complimentary drink for tapping out one of their kegs. The beer selection has reasonable variety and is very reasonably priced at $8-9/drink. I didn't get any food here, but my friends seemed to enjoy the burger and fries they ordered. Lot of fun and definitely a great offering for the community. Would love to come back if I'm in the area. The only downside is having to look for street parking. Show less

I love this place so much! I love how cozy it is, the medium lighting and layout is extremely appealing to me. The food is great and the prices are TOP TIER! The only thing that could be better is if they had the mozzarella sticks and boba like the Lynnwood location. I wish the Lynnwood location had... Read more

What a cool place! Game shop up front and tons of tables to play games and eat a good meal. The food is NOT an afterthought here. I had the Dragonborn burger, and it was FANTASTIC. The seasoned fries were also great. Dessert was the fudgey lembas brownie. Great selection of games to grab and play. S... Read more

A very nice place to play board games! A lot of demo board games to try for free, a lot of board games available to buy. And surprising part is the food here is actually really good! The demo board games are all very nice and clean, and some even have card selves to protect all the cards, very cool... Read more

Would recommend!! They gave us a great deal on something that me and my dad have been looking for ages. The atmosphere of the whole place is so great, almost like a tavern out of D&D!!

All the staff are really nice and accommodating. We spent awhile looking through their MTG/Pokemon $1 bins and all of the pretty dice and card accessories they had!! All of their sealed TCG prices seemed to be at or around TCGPlayer market price. Be ready to walk though, parking is a little rough. Overall would 100% recommend, I definitely want to come back to play some MTG with my friends and have some drinks! Love it!! Show less
