About Brads Spelcafé
What Is Brads Spelcafé
Part cafe, part restaurant, part board game space! We are hard to pin down we know. Just think of us as a cosy spot where you can meet friends, play board games and enjoy delicious food. We are cosy, casual and cool!
How does it all work?
To play any of our 400+ games, you’ll need to grab a Game Pass. It's 60 SEK and gives you 3 hours of guaranteed gaming fun with a reserved table.
When you buy your Game Pass, you’re paying for your table space and game time, not the individual games. Play as much as you like during that 3-hour window!
You don’t need a Game Pass if you are not playing games. You do need a Game Pass even if you bring your own games.
So it always costs 60kr?
We have some different passes you will see.
-
Top-up passes: You need to buy a base game pass first, and then if we can accommodate a longer sitting, you can buy the top passes. One extra hour is 20kr, and 2 hours is 20kr.
-
Night owl passes: If you come in 1 hour before closing (weekdays) or 2 hours before closing (weekends) you can buy a night owl pass instead of the base game pass.
-
Event passes: Some events have different costs; this will be clearly stated in the event's description.
Do I need to book a table?
No, you don’t have to book a table, but we do recommend it.
We are a small space that can fill up very quickly. So, to play it safe, we would always recommend booking a table. You can book here. Or roll the dice and chance a drop in to see if a table is free. We love a daring roll at Brads.
For groups bigger than 8, we ask you to email us (siney@brads.se) and we can sort your table out.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! We love dogs. All dogs, big and small are welcome in our café! Please bring them. It truly makes our staff day!
Don't forget to ask for a bowl of water, a blanket, some doggy treats and our doggy board game.
Can I bring my child?
Of course. We have to teach the children the joy of board gaming. We have a big box stored out back full of children's games ranging across the ages. Just ask our staff for it.
We are a small space, so we are limited in storing buggies and prams, so please be mindful that we may not be able to store it beside you.
About our board games
Can I bring my own games?
While we have 400+ games for you to choose from, we’re all about sharing the fun!
You’re welcome to bring your games, but please note we still require you to purchase a game pass. This helps us cover the slower turnaround of tables and secures your table for 3 hours to ensure you get your game played.
Do you have X game?
We are currently working on bringing about a super shiny, easy-to-navigate catalogue of our games.
Do you have games for beginners or families?
We sure do!
We have a huge variety of games for all levels, from super simple and quick party games to more complex strategy games for seasoned pros. When you arrive, our friendly staff will help you pick the perfect game based on your group’s interests and experience.
If you have young children with you, ask our staff for the big box of children's games.
Can I play board games solo?
Of course! Whether you’re in the mood for a solo mission or meeting other players, we’ve got you covered. Join our Social Table (every second Thursday) and meet new people ready to game with you! If you prefer a quiet session, no worries – we have plenty of solo-friendly games to enjoy.
What happens if I lose a game piece?
Oops! It happens! If you lose a piece or notice one missing, just let one of our staff know, and we’ll replace it for you if we can. We want everyone to have a smooth, fun experience, and we do our best to keep our games intact!
