Think cosy corners, locally brewed beers, hand-crafted cocktails, and a team ready to guide you through the games so that you can focus on enjoying each other’s company instead of venue-hopping.

THE PARLOUR
Want to dial up the romance? Our Parlour is the perfect date option that can be found on our first floor. Think intimate lighting, your own table, and games tailored for two. Couples can book either the Quick Play, a table for two up to 2 hours with 2 cocktails for £20pp; or the Long Game, a table for two up to 4 hours with 3 cocktails for £30pp.
Feeling peckish? Delicious food can be ordered straight to your table, perfect for keeping your taste buds and game vibes happy at the same time; think cheesy pizzas, juicy burgers, stacked fries, and tempting desserts.
Visitors can order from Twist’s food menu until 9pm during the week, or 10pm on Fridays & Saturdays when the games go on a little later into the night.
DATE NIGHT IDEAS
First date (low pressure and lots to talk about)
Opt for a shorter session with the Quick Play and some light bites, and try one or two easy-to-learn games. No pressure, lots of laughs, and plenty of chances to chat with your date.
Long-haul date (dinner, drinks, and proper gameplay)
Go all-in with the Long Game, order mains, and mix one strategic game with one silly game. Great for a proper night out that feels both indulgent and playful.
Rainy day / midweek date
Perfect for an escape: enjoy Happy Hour, sipping on fun cocktails or delicious coffee, and pick up casual games that let the conversation flow while you stay sheltered from the rain outside.
WHAT TO PLAY? COUPLE FRIENDLY DATE PICKS
Twist keeps it simple and playful with a range of board games, card games, and so much more to keep friends and couples entertained.
2-player quick wins are perfect for an intimate game session, whether it be a fun date night or a catch up with a friend.
Co-op games where it’s you vs the game means teamwork makes the dream work!
Light rivalry party picks means laughs are guaranteed (and maybe some light-hearted competition).
