Game Point @ Bongo East

The first coffeehouse in East Nashville is now also home of the city’s first Board Game café.

Bongo East has partnered with Game Point Café, which means there is a curated game library of more than 400 classic, family, cooperative and strategic games for customers to play.  While playing, you are encouraged to have a drink from our extensive coffee menu, enjoy a local craft beer or fill up with a sandwich, salad or snack from our food menu. Throughout the day, we have Game Coaches on hand to help you learn your new favorite game.  There is also a retail section for you to take the fun home with you.   We have a robust selection of game titles priced competitively with online stores so that you can feel good spending your money locally while still getting a great game at a good price.  We can special order titles as well.

Latest Updates Due to Snow in the Forecast

UPDATE – We will be back to normal hours on Thursday, but we are postponing some events. Hopefully you have power and heat but if you need a place to be, come visit us, have a hot drink and play some games!

UPDATE – Monday January 26th – we are closed today and will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday, 27th) – hope is to be back and running on Wednesday. While we are lucky and have power, our staff aren’t able to get to the cafe yet. Thanks for bearing with us and stay warm out there!

UPDATE– Sunday, January 25th – both the cafe and the store are closed again today. Stay warm and safe all.

UPDATE – Neither the cafe or the Hillsboro Village store will be opening Saturday, January 24th – be careful out there and stay warm!

ORIGINAL POST – We are going to use this space, in addition to social media, to keep you abreast about all our decisions regarding operations this weekend due to the snow forecasted for Middle Tennessee. Check back for the latest!

  • FRIDAY, JANUARY 23RD – we are going to be open our usual hours on Friday. The Unmatched Tournament planned for this evening is going to be rescheduled until February 6th. So mark your calendars for that. Hillsboro Village Store is also open as usual!
