From YouTube: Eat, Explore, Enjoy: Tabletop Tap

Description

In the latest edition of Eat, Explore, Enjoy, we stop by a local watering hole where the old saying “work hard, play hard” takes on a whole new meaning. At this Broadway bar, owners Jason and Kristen Ungate turned their video game obsession into a full-time job, opening Tabletop Tap in 2018. If you need to unwind after work or on the weekends, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a local Colorado beer while you crush the competition in one of the many arcade or board games that operate out of this Englewood favorite. #eatexploreenjoy

A

Hi, I'm anne with the city of inglewood and today we're taking a break to play and grab a pint downtown. Consider this your invitation to escape reality at tabletop tab.

A

Okay, you have a nice crazy here.

B

There's not a lot of places like this in colorado.

A

We never thought we would make a career out of playing games, but we'd always really hoped so.

B

There were plenty of times where, like you know, we'd look around at the people in here and be like people actually do like beer and board games and video games yeah. It was a shocker to us, but we were happy happy for the community and the people here and and the response we got to the space. So we've been coming here for about like two and a half years now to just play a couple board games and have fun.

B

We wanted to make kind of a nerd haven um with little touches without going too overboard. I think so. We have all sorts of nerdy representation on our beer pools from you know, mario brothers, to crash bandicoot legend of zelda doctor who star wars, final fantasy, so you've.

A

Really incorporated those sort of little details throughout the bar like the hand up there. What's.

B

That about man you've never seen the wizard with with fred savage from from the wonder years.

A

B

It's basically an hour and a half commercial for the power glove and super mario brothers 3., and it was garbage.

A

Oh, it didn't, it didn't work at all, but you had one: oh hell, yeah.

B

Yeah because it's awesome I mean look at that thing.

A

My friend and I used the mario kart all the time, so we had to come. I'm.

B

Probably the worst that shows up on a regular basis.

B

Part of our concept here was really get the more modern board. Gamer out have a place with a wide selection of beers and board games. We've been working here, seven days a week since 2018. we do have our one sole employee who is guybrush. He has our rescue uh greyhound.

B

His main job is to attract people the community in englewood, whether it's, the the business, the local business owners or the people who live. Here I mean they're, just fantastic.
