The Story
About This Place
Sip N Play occupies a corner of Xuân Thủy with a setup that leans decidedly DnD — low lighting, game boxes stacked floor to ceiling, and the ambient sound of people arguing over rule books. The collection runs into the hundreds: cooperative Unlock escape-room games sit alongside party titles like What Do You Meme, and dedicated console stations with PS5 and Nintendo Switch serve players who prefer a screen. Entry is structured around a minimum spend, with the base package covering two hours of games plus a drink at 90,000 VND — above that, groups tend to order from a drinks menu built around ice-blended concoctions (the Kit Kat and Oreo options appear repeatedly in reviews), standard espresso drinks, and fresh coconut.
What distinguishes the place beyond its inventory is the staff. Multiple reviews single out the team's willingness to sit down and explain mechanics from scratch, which matters when a group is staring at a game they've never seen. The owner — described in several reviews as someone who 'knows everything' — keeps the floor moving. The crowd skews toward expats and travelers who stumble in on a Friday or Saturday night, alongside locals who return for the weekly specials: free entry for women on select nights and a social-night format that draws strangers into the same table. Tuesday is the one day the doors are closed entirely; the rest of the week splits between shorter evening windows on weekdays and longer 10 AM to midnight runs on weekends. For a neighborhood that runs heavily toward café-hopping and rooftop bars, Sip N Play occupies a genuinely different register.

(*゜▽゜)_□ great for events & friends! Honestly, I didn't expect very much at first for a board game cafe. However, with some friends, I found the experience to be very pleasant! The hub had a cozy/DnD feel to it. There were a plethora of boardgames to choose from, seemingly various in types. There were PS5(?) gaming stations too. I got the boardgame experience plus drinks for 90k. Played 2 Unlock games & What do you meme (the latter wasn't as witty as I expected). Took us 3 hours to solve 2 mystery games, which was challenging and new. There are often events for socializing too. Would go again!
What a place! One of a kind in Saigon. Endless collection of games, always helpful stuff, the owner that knows everything. If you are a nerd and you live in Saigon come here. This place is 10/10 Just perfect.
The best place ever! They have so many board games, and Brandon (I hope I got his name right) and his team are incredibly patient in explaining every single game. My favorite place in HCMC!
Literally hundreds of board games to choose from. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Great selection of craft beer and beverages. I highly recommend !
