Last night, I attended a media dinner and tasting at Twenty One Pips Board Game Restaurant in Ardmore. They have all new food and cocktail menus.
After dinner, you can play games in their refreshed space that offers new games, new design elements and new lounge furniture. Not sure what game to play? A friendly staffer can help you out.
The drinks, food and dessert I recommend:
Mocktails the Machete with Trejo Tequila Alternative and Hidden Gem with Amethyst Botanical. So flavorful!
Tuna rice cracker – the cracker added a nice crunch and who doesn’t love tuna? The crab cake sliders were fantastic. I will be back for the Wild Mushroom flatbread – the mushrooms are from Kennett Square. The chocolate caramel tart with dulce de leche was divine.
The official press release is as follows.
Twenty One Pips is rolling the dice and raising the stakes for the Main Line’s premiere board game restaurant and cafe in Ardmore. Owner Matt Hendricks is thrilled to announce exciting changes to elevate the space, food and drinks in time for the coming National Board Game Day and a busy spring season ahead.
With help of Chef John Taus (Jet Hospitality), Twenty One Pips introduces a brand new dinner menu featuring globally inspired, snack-able comfort foods. Mushroom “calamari”, crab and chili flatbread, crab cake and Korean fried chicken sliders, raclette grilled cheese, fried cauliflower, and blistered shishito’s are just a few of the new items for guests to savor.
At the bar, guests will find a brand new drink menu featuring drinks pleasing to both the eye and their palette, including a new Hibiscus Margarita, Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Sake Spritz, Coffee Negroni and several other new additions. Spirit Free mocktails, such as the Lavender Pop, the Hidden Gem, and The Machete (made with Danny Trejo’s zero proof tequila alternative) are also available.
In addition to the menu changes, the bar at Twenty One Pips has received a fresh facelift to create a more inviting atmosphere for guests. Upon entering Twenty One Pips, guests will find a brand new gaming lounge” with posh and colorful eclectic sofas and loungers, giving guests even more space to play their favorite board games while sipping the night away with their favorite beverages from the bar.
Twenty One Pips has also expanded the game count to include over 400 new games, including four new heirloom crokinole boards in the lounge. Twenty One Pips has also added a lead gametender who is the game whisperer available to serve as the personal concierge to all visiting game enthusiasts, and topped it off with some of the venue’s favorite games available at retail.
“When guests come through our doors we want to offer them the best of all worlds – great food, quality cocktails, ample spirit free beverages, hundreds of new games and elite vibes,” said Hendricks. “With the help from friend and colleague Chef John Taus of Jet Hospitality, we have elevated our food game to include a new menu of must-try dishes. We cater to everyone from discerning Main Line foodies, to couples on a date night, to casual groups of friends, to corporate get-togethers. Our new menu has something to offer for everyone that visits us.”
Twenty One Pips opened in Downtown Ardmore in 2022 as the first restaurant and retail client in the new stunning One Ardmore Place. As the restaurant’s second anniversary approaches, spring weather moves in, and National Board Game Day approaches, Hendricks and his long-time team thought it was the perfect time to focus their offerings. The exciting new features are sure to make Twenty One Pips a must-see destination for board game enthusiasts and food lovers alike.
