PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A new kind of cafe on Park Slope's Fifth Avenue will serve up more than coffee — 200 board games more.

Sip & Play, the neighborhood's only board game cafe, officially opened its doors at 471 Fifth Ave. on Thursday. The coffee shop-turned-gamer's-paradise will let customers rent out time to play board games while sipping on drinks and snacking on its menu. Gamers can choose from the cafe's library of 200 board games — which owner Jonathan Li says is still growing — or bring their own games from home.

"It's just a great way to socialize with friends and have a great time over a board game," Li said. "I've been going to board game cafes ever since high school." The recent college graduate said that it has always been a dream of his to own his own restaurant or food establishment. He has worked in restaurants throughout the city for the past few years.

So when the 471 Fifth Ave. storefront, which was once a laundromat, opened up, it seemed like the perfect fit to diverge two of his passions, food and gaming, Li said. He spent the last few months completely revamping the space inside, adding large tables for optimal game play and building out a menu he says offers more than many board game cafes he's frequented.

"I really wanted to revamp what a board game cafe can look like," he said.
