A Bit About Us
Welcome to Roast & Roll, Northern Ireland's newest games café!
Our goal is to offer a range of products from quality coffee to niche board games while fostering a community of game enthusiasts. Whether you enjoy a quiet game of cards, a dramatic role-playing session, a family favourite board game, or a nail-biting table top battle, there is something for everyone.
​
We first started taking the idea of a games café seriously in February 2022. What began as a dream shared between two friends has slowly evolved into a reality. We have a location, a setup, a growing community, and now all we need is your support to help make Roast & Roll a reality.
​
Our Kickstarter campaign launched on the 1st of August with the goal of raising over £10,000 by the 10th of September. With the help of our generous backers we were able to open our doors on Thursday the 29th of September, 2022. Now we just need to continue to expand our events schedule, grow our community, and introduce people to new games and new friends, all while serving delicious coffee and homemade traybakes. So get ready to Roast and Roll!
