What We're Building

More Than a Bar.
More Than a Game Store.

The Sending Stone is a dedicated tabletop gaming café and bar coming to the Lyn-Lake corridor in Minneapolis. A place where your D&D group finally has a home that isn't someone's basement. Where you can grab a craft cocktail and play Wingspan with friends on a Tuesday night. Where a couple discovers a new game on a first date, and a solo player settles in with a latte and Arkham Horror on a quiet Saturday morning.


A curated library of hundreds of games. A full bar with craft cocktails and local beer. Espresso and coffee service. A kitchen with real food — designed for the game table. Staff who know the games and will help you find your next obsession.

Built Around What Matters

🎲

The Games

Hundreds of titles. Board games, card games, RPGs, party games. From gateway games for first-timers to deep strategy for veterans. Our staff knows the library and will teach you something new.

🍺

The Bar & Kitchen

Full liquor license. Craft cocktails, local beer, wine. Espresso and specialty coffee. A kitchen serving food designed for the game table — shareable, not messy, actually good.

⚔️

The Community

Weekly tournaments. Learn-to-play nights. League play. Private events. Date nights. This isn't just a venue — it's a community hub that happens to serve great drinks.

The Neighborhood

Coming to Lyn-Lake

We're planting roots in one of Minneapolis's most walkable, vibrant corridors. Lyn-Lake is the kind of neighborhood where a tabletop gaming café belongs — creative, independent, community-driven. We're committed to this neighborhood and to the community that already calls it home.
