Pieces Board Game Bar And Restaurant

Pieces is a landmark board game bar and restaurant located in St. Louis’ historic Soulard neighborhood. Housed in a renovated art deco building that once served as a police station, the spacious venue now features an astonishing library of more than 1,200 board games. Guests pay a modest $3 fee per person to access the collection and can play as many games as they like. The full service kitchen offers dinner, lunch and weekend brunch with dishes like gourmet sandwiches, salads and shareables, while the bar pours craft beers, ciders, wines and imaginative cocktails. Mocktails, coffees and sodas round out the drink list. The playful atmosphere includes comfortable vault rooms—refurbished jail cells—that can be reserved for private groups. Friendly game gurus circulate to recommend games and explain rules so newcomers feel at ease. With free off‑street parking, a welcoming staff and a menu that caters to a range of dietary needs, Pieces has become a go‑to destination for date nights, family outings and corporate gatherings. The combination of great food and endless games makes it the perfect place to relax and connect.
