Night Light - SE


Night Light
2100 SE Clinton

This is a bar, with food, dark lighting... but a pile of games at the door, so what is there to do, but play something!

General Atmosphere:
6 - For gaming, it is a little strange... maybe.  It feels like a bar with patrons in their 20's mostly.  At about 9 or 10pm the bar became pretty full, even on a weekday and a wild pack of loud-talkers sat next to us and took over all hope of hearing anything at our own table.  The location does have a pile of games, and you'll see people bust out the "Connect 4" etc, but it is hard to get over the party vibe here.  The music is also loud.

Lighting:
5 - Dark inside. Nice covered patio and sidewalk tables, where people smoke.

Tables:
6 - Indoor tables are smooth sealed wood, and well cleaned in varying sizes and even heights.  A handful of large booths that are fantastic for playing if you can grab one.  Outdoor tables are all the black metal grate type top and not great for gaming.

Food:
7/7 (quality/options) - Food is a bit above average bar food. Items range from Short ribs and mac and cheese to kale salad and falafel.  Vegan and veggie item options are clearly marked and include a jasmine rice vegetable stir fry and mezza platter that strangely comes with bread instead of pita. Avg price $8

Drinks:
8 - Full bar with some interesting cocktail specials. 

Meeple score:
7 - Although there is a pile of games at the door, and the servers are nice, it didn't seem like games really fit in here.

Hours - M-F 2pm-2:30am, SA-SUN 10am-2:30am.

Game nights held as of this post - None that we are aware of right now
