​Board Game Nights at Absent - A cozy analog living room full of friends & strangers who end up staying a little past closing time each week.

​Phones rest in pouches the entire evening. Turns out that's great for connection, who'd have thunk?!

​The space fills up with games spread across tables, conversations move with them, and people you didn't know at 7pm are suggesting a rematch by 9.

​Strategy games, social games, classics, a few surprises. Bring one you've been wanting to play with people.

​Middle Eastern mezze and bowls, craft Dois Corvos beers, Portuguese wines, organic sodas, specialty coffee.

​Recurs every week.

​First come, first served for walk-ins if space allows.
