What We're Building
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.
The Three Pillars
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.
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.
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
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.
