Potions And Rations
WHERE
Edinburgh
What it’s like
A tabletop café where you can settle in for Magic the Gathering, D&D, Crokinole or a pub quiz.
This is a games café rather than a soft play or an activity centre, so the entertainment is whatever's on the table. From what they list, you've got Magic the Gathering Commander, Dungeons and Dragons sessions, Crokinole, hobby afternoons where people paint miniatures, and pub quizzes running through the week. It suits older kids and teenagers who already know their way round a deck of cards or fancy learning D&D, rather than a toddler looking for something to climb on.
It's open every day from midday right up to midnight, which gives you a lot of room to pick your slot. There's on site food, though what's actually on the menu isn't something they spell out, so don't go in picturing a full kitchen.
There's no booking link, so for a normal visit you can likely just turn up and see what's running that day. If you're thinking of a birthday do or bringing a group bigger than eight, they want you to contact them directly rather than just show up, which is fair enough given how a table full of Magic players can eat up the space fast.
