For all of those that have been in Nashville for a minute, you know what Tomato Fest Weekend means. Good times, hot weather, and a crowd in East Nashville! Consequently, we have to alter operations just a touch this weekend. Friday, August 7th will be business as usual. The festival starts in the evening but it’s not too crazy, so minor parking challenges but plenty of room to come get your game on Friday night or find a quiet respite from the multiple stages performing that night!

SATURDAY is when it really gets crazy! We will be here slinging your favorite drinks, including new favorites like our Nitro Cold Brew and will have an abbreviated menu of East Sides and other staples. We will not have the games available to play during the day. Once it calms down in the evening, we will reopen the library for anyone wanting to do something fun as the festival winds down. Sunday we will pick up the pieces and be back to our normal operations – come join us at Social Sunday!

Starting this month, we are embarking on a long overdue library refresh. Replacing worn titles, sun-setting some games, and improving our organizational system. How can you help? If you are playing a game and it’s missing the rules, or pivotal components, or just is worn out – let a game coach or team member know about it. Thanks and game on!

See the details on our event calendar.

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!
• SATURDAY, JANUARY 24TH – we are looking at models and trying to balance our staff’s safety with a changing forecast landscape. Expect more announcements later today!

On Saturday, August 8th, East Nashville will be inundated with hundreds of people worshiping tomatoes! 🙂 Seriously it is Tomato Fest Weekend and it will be super crowded. Consequently, the game library will be unavailable all day Saturday, and we won’t have tables available for people to play. We’ll have plenty of cold (and hot) drinks for everyone enjoying the festival, so come by and see us!

On Sunday, after the dust has settled, we will be back to our table top loving ways, so come play with us then. Happy Tomato Fest 2025!!!

Tonight we are hosting Tennessee Justice for our Neighbors (JFON) at Game Point for a celebration of culture with Loteria! Games will start at seven and we will play several over the course of the evening and learn more about the incredible work that JFON is doing in Middle Tennessee. No advance registration required! Come ready to have fun and maybe donate something to the good work that JFON is doing in our neighborhoods.

JFON provides free or low-cost immigration legal services to low-income immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, ideology, gender identity, or sexual orientation. You can learn more about their work at their website.

This event is open to the public but that’s all the games that will be available after 7 pm on Friday!
