For those still reveling in their childhood years, all discrimination against parting with the ‘good old days’ is left outside the front steps of Snakes and Lattes’ latest, two-story successor, Snakes and Lagers. The popular board game café’s latest venture can be found at College and Bathurst. It may seem like yet another board game fusion spot in the city, but apart from its impressive range of whiskey-based cocktails, the snack-focused menu sophisticates the childish satisfaction in pairing Scrabble with scotch.
Developed by consulting chef Ariel Coplan and executed by kitchen manager Nick Morra, Snakes and Lagers’ gastronomical offerings exceed the expectations of any late-night foodie who may be slightly inebriated and bored of the McDonald’s-Pizza-Subway trifecta. Catering to a 19+ crowd, visitors are happily coaxed away from the Annex to 488 College Street, where they are met with a crafty selection of beers, eccentric bartenders, and a nostalgic game of Monopoly.
