Leader Live

23-07-2025

Known as Wrexham's very first licenced board games club, this finalist is certainly not your traditional boozer with hand-stretched pizza and social games on the go.
The venue, located at Lord Street, has become a go-to for many for immersive rooms, great drinks and endless tabletop gaming fun.

It was first opened by owner and landlord (and cleaner) Stephen Mitchell in 2023.
On behalf of the team, including bar and facility manager Joshua Lowe, he is over the moon with the nomination, and admits he had 'no idea' customers named him to be a finalist.
"I would like to hope people voted for us as we are wholly unique", Stephen said.
"A Fantasy TableTop Tavern where a good pint of Wrexham can be enjoyed over hundreds of games with friends!
"We are one of only a handful of bars to serve Mead on tap as well, meaning a novel experience.
"Winning would hopefully show recognition to the many talented people who helped build it within my family, both familiar and found, everything was custom made by hand and the murals are a special highlight.
"Ultimately so many people have found a place they never thought would ever exist and we thank them for it."
TableTaps began with a simple idea; to create a distinctive space where people can enjoy social tabletop gaming, perhaps with a drink or two.
Stephen is passionate and proud to have brought the unique concept to life, offering a warm environment and welcome for all enthusiasts.
Do you think TableTaps should be crowned the best across Wrexham and Flintshire?
Voting opens on July 21 until August 1 with voting slips available in our newspaper.
