ReRoll Tavern

ReRoll Tavern in North KC: every great adventure begins in a tavern.

Viking adventures at ReRoll Tavern

“Every great adventure begins in a tavern.”

Where to go in North Kansas City for nerdy fun? ReRoll Tavern (and its sister bar Vignettes next door) are great places to find adventure.

I’m so excited to have been hosted to share about this local gem! I look forward to sharing more in the future as we continue this partnership! My show the Medieval Medicine Show will be performing at ReRoll 6/24/24.

What to do at ReRoll?

ReRoll Tavern has an extensive library of games to play onsite. Pay at the door and have access to countless board games. It’s also a great place to relax with friends or on your own.

There are tons of special activities to join. Check out their monthly calendar and social media for fun offerings like: Tuesday night ladies night (no cover), crafts, Legos, miniature painting, themed parties, cocktails and coloring, chess, knitting, trivia, music performances, ReRoll After Dark (karaoke and other after party activities), board game socials, and cosplay.

If you have a reservation at the Vignettes Pop-Up Bar next door, come in to ReRoll for some fun before or after your reservation.

It’s a great location for an ongoing game of Dungeons and Dragons or other roleplaying games. Join a party or bring your own. (Ask about their Dungeon Master incentive program).

Book their private room for your party, book club, or gaming session.

Themed Parties

I love a good costume themed party. You can expect a good crowd at a themed night with themed drinks and activities like trivia and costume contests. My husband and our friends have enjoyed dressing up for two Letterkenny Super Soft Birthday Parties. Manu, my partner from the Medieval Medicine Show, and I had a blast being hosted at their Spring Viking party in preparation for the Kickoff of Vikingfest. Other themes have included Parks and Recreation, Shrek, What we do in the Shadows, Pokémon, 90’s Cartoons, Post-Apocalyptic, Star Wars, Pajama Party, Cyberpunk, and many more!

The Medieval Medicine Show Party and Performance

Saturday, August 24 at 4pm, be sure to catch my Renaissance Festival Show, Medieval Medicine at ReRoll Tavern! We are so excited ReRoll is bringing us in to have a big performance and party with our 75 closest friends and fans! Be sure to save the date!

Tavern Food and Drink

ReRoll Tavern has tasty fresh made pizza and other tavern snacks like nachos, soft pretzels, and burgers. No tavern is complete without drinks to quench the thirst of an adventurer. ReRoll has a signature cocktail and shot menu, specialty themed menus, beer, seltzer, and cider. At the Viking party they offered mead. The Phoenix Down is a very tasty shot. They also have soda, coffee, and juice (including a bottomless soda and coffee option).

BRKTHROUGH

Team up for a fun time, and test yourself with 40 in-person challenge rooms.

Take a team photo to commemorate the night.

“Challenge Accepted!”

Have you ever done an escape room and found yourself bored when your team got stuck? That won’t happen here. BRKTHROUGH has a ton of fast-paced challenges that can be played in any order. You won’t be bored here.

Challenge Rooms

Explore 40 unique challenge rooms across 20,000 square feet. Test your physical, skill-based, and mental abilities in quick 3-5 minute games.

Green light, go!

How it Works

Come up with a team name. Teams can be as small as 2 people (think date night). They can accommodate parties up to 200 people. Your wrist band will give you access to the challenge rooms and track your team score. Up to 4 teammates at a time can play in each challenge room. Your team works together to figure out how to play the room. Challenges can be played in any order. If there’s a green light on the door, the room is available to play. The label will identify if it is a physical, mental, or skill challenge (or a combo). It will probably take a few tries to figure out the goal of the challenge and figure out your approach. Keep at it! If you are the competitive type, you can view your team’s progress on the leaderboard (we just played for fun).

Gotta love a self-serve drink wall

Food and Drink

Refuel with the self-pour beer and wine wall with 20 drinks on tap. Grab a snack or quick meal between games.

Tips

  • Wear shoes that work for for climbing and jumping

  • Free lockers are available, but you’ll want to be able to pay for your refreshments and take photos (pockets are a great idea).

  • Pre-book a 2 hour or 4 hour time slot (most people go for the 2 hour)

  • Try to arrive on time, so you don’t waste any of your time slot

  • Bigger groups are a blast for birthdays, girls night out, bachelor/bachelorette, team building, family reunion, work parties, etc.

  • Save time by pre-signing your waiver

  • Challenge room time starts when the door to the room opens

  • Don’t worry about getting paired up with a stranger, you’ll be paired up with your team

  • If no one else is waiting, you can re-enter the same room multiple times in a row to figure it out and improve your score

  • Gift cards are available

  • Over 50% of the games are wheelchair accessible

  • There’s a handy drink rack outside the challenge room doors

  • Those aged 13 or under must have their parent/guardian with them at all times

Adventure Café (now closed)

Adventure Café in Lee’s Summit has everything you need to game.

Lindsay at Adventure Café in Lee’s Summit

Update: Unfortunately this lovely cafe has closed. Check out Pawn and Pint or ReRoll Tavern.

Grab your adventuring party, fuel up with provisions, and “roll for initiative” at Adventure Café in Lee’s Summit.

Coffee, Tea, and Games

Adventure, tea, games, and good company. These are a few of my favorite things. They can all be found at the Adventure Café in Lee's Summit. This coffee shop, gaming space hybrid has everything you need to experience a world of adventures from the comfort of your seat.

The Adventure Café has a library of games with handy color-coded dots helping you find the perfect game as well as reference books. You can pay $5 per table to play the collection of games or buy a membership.

Grab a coffee and a pastry at café tables in the coffee shop area, the semi-private section with sofas, or one of three private rooms you can book (for your next campaign or book club).

In addition to enjoying a delicious café beverage (I had the understandably popular, lavender chai), you can shop their inventory of unique, nerdy merchandise. I added a stylish box set of giant, pink dice.

See you soon in Lee's Summit, MO at Adventure Café.
