Eat a sumptuous meal or play your favorite board games? Why choose between the two when you can enjoy both at the same time and at the same place? Located in the newest go-to places in Makati City, Onboard Game + Gastro Pub combines the best of both worlds – food and board games – and makes every barkada, family and romantic get togethers more fun and memorable
Opened last December, Onboard started with a group of friends’ love for playing games that led to the concept of sharing this fun experience to more people. Now, you don’t need any more to purchase board games from the store to experience the game. You only need to spend your time at the game pub, order your preferred food and choose from over 600 board games available.
“It started out with kami-kami na magkakaibigan. We really enjoyed playing board games at home. So, we used to buy board games and then we bring it to a friend’s house. Minsan kasi mahal when we buy it individually. So naisip namin, since a lot of people are enjoying board games, we want to give them the experience of playing it na hindi nila kailangan bumili ng actual board games,” shares Leica Moreno, one of the owners of Onboard.
Playful Foods
Because awesome games deserve equally fantastic grub, Onboard offers delicious pub treats that can satisfy even the hungriest gamer. Guests can choose from the wide selection of carefully thought menu.
In fact, game mode starts when you’re choosing from the menu. Each categories on the menu have corresponding game-like names. Game starters for appetizers such as finger food and bar chows. Liquid Play for soups, broths and other forms of liquid magic. Whirl + Toss for salads, greens and all things lean. Bring out the big buns for Angus burgers and magical sandwiches. The Italian Job for pastas in wonderful variations. Bigger, Better and Flatbreads for crispy crust with fantasmic toppings. Main event for the main dishes. Superbowls for rice bowls with power toppings. Creative isn’t it? But wait until you’ve tasted their food. It’s also playful!
