They come from a background in entertainment, theatre and culture. With a passion for games, they dreamed of a place where people could gather to play games, interact and learn more about themselves while having a blast.
Joël Gagnon and his three associates, including Normand D'Amour, rolled the dice and bet their future on games by opening the first Randolph Pub Ludique in 2012 in the Latin quarter of St-Denis Street.
"We're living in the right time," says Joël. "In response to computers, there is a huge demand for a different kind of entertainment, and the board game industry has never been as prolific and great as it is now."
J'ai apprecié mon expérience à chaque visite. Endroit parfait pour essayer de nouveaux jeu entre amis. Le personnel a été fort utile à suggérer et expliquer les réglements des jeux.
We took a sit and a server came and asked us if we want something. We politely said we are ok for now and she left. Our lady friend went to the game shelf to check out the games and there is bouncer (Black T-Shirt with tattoos) type server told her that you cannot play any game unless you order food or drinks.
Located in the city’s Latin Quarter, this pub definitely stands out from the rest. They’re known for their collection of board and card games. So not only can you sip a fresh pint, munch on nachos, grilled cheese, and poutine sandwiches, but you can also challenge Dad to an epic board game contest. With such a huge collection available, this place is sure to have some of the classic games you haven’t seen in years! The nostalgia alone will make this spot the perfect Father’s Day gift for him.
As a gaming pub, Randolph lets you enjoy snacks and a drink along with a board game or a role-playing session. There are 1,500 games at your disposal, with a game host on hand to help you discover new ones. Regular events include quiz nights on Sunday evenings and role-playing games on Monday night, special events for holidays, and even a fun flea market. Over a game of Werewolf, or a quiz played with one or more partners, you can enjoy a beer or cocktail with a snack like nachos, a small quiche or beef stew made with beer.
Randolph Pub Ludique is known for its large collection of board games and cards as well as its beer and cocktails. No wonder it holds its own quiz night every Sunday at 8:00 pm!
