"Set to open this weekend in an industrial neighborhood in North Houston, the new Board and Brew Gaming at 5750 North Sam Houston Pkwy E, Suite 515 occupies a lime-green-accented concrete-block space that’s been road-testing its inventory with “open houses” called through its Facebook page. The interior is already full of terrains for games, a board game library with hundreds of titles, and hobby stations where enthusiasts can assemble and paint their own pieces; a Facebook post dated August 22 says construction is complete though the team is still adding finishing touches and expects a September 1 opening. According to the website, a $28 monthly membership grants access to all on-site facilities (including terrains and hobby stations), the game library, discounts from the retail catalog, and access to a “beer exchange program” — a fridge stocked with beers members bring to swap — and the venue also plans to operate a full beer bar with eight local craft brews on tap. I’ve reached out to confirm which local beers made the cut." - Alaena Hostetter
